Portal Finance Augments the DeFi Infrastructure of Ontology

Portal DEX announced its integration of Ontology, a high speed, low cost public blockchain, focused on decentralized identity (DID) and data solutions today. This strategic collaboration will see the integration of the $ONT and $ONG tokens, based on the Ontology EVM blockchain, into the Portal DEX. This will enable users to effortlessly trade them against native BTC and BTC-based assets with one click, using Portal’s pioneering atomic swaps technology. Ontology Network recently launched a $10 million fund, to enhance the development, adoption, and education of decentralized identity (DID) technologies; The partnership with Portal, backed by Coinbase, OKX and Arrington Capital, signifies the marriage of two pioneering protocols with a shared vision of true financial self sovereignty and ownership of one’s assets and online identity.

The vision of Web3 is built upon the freedom to own one’s data, identity and finances, and we are achieving this through innovative partnerships with top tier infrastructure like Ontology," said Dr. Chandra Duggirala, CEO & Co-Founder of Portal.
