Established by Li Jun in November 27th, 2017, Ontology is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.
As a philosopher with a technical background, Li Jun named the project Ontology, 1) in philosophical terms, “Ontology is the branch of philosophy that studies concepts such as existence, being, becoming, and reality.” 2) In the Semantic Web, there is a very basic protocol called Ontology. Across the technology and philosophical field, Ontology refers to the basic infrastructure of things, which matches our vision of building a decentralized and credit-based infrastructure.
