He shared several decentralized applications incubated by Ontology based on DID technology, including ONT ID, ONTO and Wing Finance. Community members also discussed “how DID can empower the whole industry”.

Ontology in the Media
Forbes — “The Metaverse Is Our Chance To Play Cybersecurity Catch-Up”
“While the metaverse presents a huge new frontier for companies and consumers to engage in, this will absolutely provide yet another space for cybercrime to thrive. Despite having the protections in place, particularly with cryptocurrency and blockchain, regulation in the metaverse is still non-existent, and as we’ve seen with ransomware and extortion tactics, the legal recourse for attacks is also low, which will make it an extremely attractive — and potentially lucrative — space for cybercriminals.”
The root cause of a large number of data security problems is that users have little control over how data is stored and utilized. Therefore, the Metaverse needs a set of targeted solutions, such as ONT ID of Ontology, through the autonomous and sovereign system that provides data authorization and ownership confirmation, all rights can be returned to the user, and the user’s identity and data security are guaranteed through technologies such as decentralized ledgers, public-private key pairs, and encryption.
