Ontology Roadmap: Aristotle 2020
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. —— Aristotle
At the beginning of the year, Jun LI, Founder of Ontology, shared our 2020 strategic plan with the Ontology global community. He explained the 2020 roadmap, code-named Aristotle, and the upcoming technological breakthroughs of Ontology 2.0.
As we all know, Ontology is a high-performance public blockchain and distributed collaboration platform. We’ve put major efforts on the construction of the chain network and trust ecosystem. After hitting our milestones in 2018 (Socrates) and 2019 (Plato), we will bring a series of cutting-edge improvements to Ontology in 2020.
In this article, we will focus on the Chain Network section.
During Socrates 2018, the Homogeneous Chain Network was the main topic. In this connection, we had our MainNet released on June 30, 2018, providing Wasm and VBFT consensus, transaction parallel verification support, and the authority management. Later, we had the cross-chain POC, threshold signatures and parallel transaction execution released. Then it came with the Chain Network PoC, Sharding and Performance Tuning by the end of the year.
In Plato 2019, Heterogeneous Chain Network was the key point. We brought up with the launch of Cross-chain TestNet and Sharding TestNet, which all ranked top worldwide.
In Aristotle 2020, we will be focusing on cross-chains, virtual machines, layer 2, oracles, ONT ID, and ONTO.
- Cross-chain: Includes the Relayer Chain and will realize the cross-chain between BTC, ETH and ONT. Thus far we have accomplished the first two.
- Virtual Machine: Includes the Wasm-JIT and Multi-VM, which are leading smart contract virtual machines with high speed and performance.
Developers can find more detailed information here.
Coming soon:
- Layer 2;
- Oracles;
- ONT ID 2.0 and DDXF 2.0;
- ONTFS (Ontology File Storage);
- On-chain voting.
We will expand upon the above tech points one by one in the following months. Meanwhile, we will also be making improvements to the developer center and tools for our developers, as well as our online courses. Developers can feel free to get involved in contribution and development.

About Ontology
Ontology is a high-performance public blockchain and distributed collaboration platform. Architected in Asia with global teams, Ontology’s unique infrastructure supports robust cross-chain collaboration, Layer 2 scalability and includes a suite of decentralized identity (DID) and data sharing protocols to enhance the speed, security, and trust that are fundamental to enhanced global cooperation among businesses. These characteristics are particularly important for future global collaboration with on-chain and off-chain scenarios.
