Introduction

Any crypto or blockchain enthusiast will agree that the future of the internet relies on Web3. Coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, the term refers to a decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain technology. Web3 gained significant traction in 2021 with the proliferation of blockchain as funds continued to pour into Web3 projects. Coupled with the rapid development of DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, and NFTs, the third iteration of the internet has begun to take over.

Now, tools such as ONTO Wallet, are providing users with a gateway into this ever-growing space with ease, offering seamless access to Web3.

A Quick Look at ONTO

With around 1 million registered users and 310,000 community members in 156 countries, ONTO Wallet has proven to be the best all-in-one option for securely managing your identities, data, and digital assets, with an excellent safety track record of over four years.

With ONTO, users can experience all aspects of Web3, including decentralized identity, digital assets, decentralized applications (dApps), NFTs, and decentralized domains, to name just a few.

As such, the Web3-ready product caters to new users entering the ecosystem as well as Web3 veterans alike, offering both mobile and browser support.

Why ONTO is Your Gateway to Web3

As the crypto space grows, users now have more wallets to choose from. So what should you be looking for when choosing a Web3 wallet?

ONT ID — Your Passport to Web3

In the Web2 world, the internet is in the hands of tech giants who collect and control individuals’ personal information and monetize their data. Web3 promises to shift this paradigm by giving data ownership back to users. This is where decentralized identity (DID) solutions like ONTO’s ONT ID come into play.

Online users require a plethora of accounts to access different services in Web2. In stark contrast, with ONTO’s unique ONT ID digital identity and data system, using a single ONT ID you can access a variety of dApps alongside features of the wider Web3 ecosystem.

Your ONT ID is your passport to Web3. With it, you can take control of your on-chain assets, manage your own identity data, and in turn better protect your data privacy.

Multi-Chain Support and Security

In addition to its unique DID system, ONTO also functions as a multi-chain wallet with almost 30 blockchains available. Unlike single-chain wallets, which require users to switch networks when managing assets on different chains, ONTO allows you to easily manage your assets across 30 blockchains with a single ONT ID. In practice, users can manage all of their digital assets in one place, from tokens to NFTs, and private data.

Safety and security must be a top priority for all crypto wallets. As ONTO is a decentralized wallet, it does not store any data. This makes the wallet immune to external attacks. The latest round of ONTO’s security audit can be found here.

There are few things in the crypto space that are as popular as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) today. Since its rise to prominence in 2020, NFTs have taken the world by storm. ONTO’s NFT tab allows you to display your NFTs directly on the Collectibles page, send or receive NFTs, and even trade NFTs without going to an NFT marketplace. The NFT Purchase function will also be optimized in the next quarter.

ONTO also comes with a unique address scan feature that can automatically detect and add digital assets and NFTs with balances in your addresses in real-time. With this feature, users aren’t required to add assets manually and don’t have to worry about forgetting their assets. Since ONTO has integrated the token prices and information on CoinMarketCap, you can find real-time token-fiat prices and detailed information about the projects and tokens at ease.

Native Swap, Bridge and Staking

For users who are interested in trading and staking, ONTO offers industry-leading in-app native Swap and Bridge features, allowing you to swap assets with the optimal exchange rate instantly and directly within the wallet, powered by OpenOcean and Poly Network. The convenient staking function, available in the ONTO mobile app, enables you to stake ONT, the native token on the Ontology Network and earn passive income with high APYs.

ONTO Ecosystem for Users

Since its inception, ONTO has been building an active and inclusive ecosystem for the community. To date, there are over 200 partners in the ONTO ecosystem alongside various projects, with 31 public blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Ontology Network, Polkadot, Polygon etc. Together with these ecosystem partners, ONTO hosts regularly a slew of exciting events, with a myriad of benefits for community users. Whether you are a crypto veteran or just getting started, it couldn’t be easier to join in on the fun and reap the rewards!

Further to this, ONTO also provides seamless access to hundreds of dApps. Users can switch addresses of other chains within the dApp without repeatedly switching tabs, offering a much better user experience. With more than 600 dApps easily accessible in ONTO, all users can find their niche.

An unwieldy string of alphanumeric characters that constitutes crypto wallet addresses can be bothersome to many online users. ONTO can provide a solution with domain names like FIO Crypto Handles and Unstoppable Domains. These one-of-a-kind solutions can turn a long string of wallet addresses into human-readable domain names, which you can use to access Web3 dApps in ONTO and come with multi-chain support.

For easy distribution of event rewards, ONTO has you covered with its Anydrop tool. With ONTO Anydrop, instead of processing individual transactions to send airdrops to each user, the airdrop distributor can transfer assets to up to 400 addresses in a single transaction on multiple chains. This makes distributing airdrops fast, convenient and cheap, as the gas fees required to perform airdrops are vastly reduced. Projects can also freely upload and customize their airdrop activities while users can effortlessly check the status of pending or received airdrops.
