Forkast — Why community is key to blockchain and crypto project success
The beauty of blockchain and crypto communities is that they are usually spread across the world, uniting many different cultures and countries. It brings people together in contemporary ways. Companies should celebrate the diversity that comes with this by recognising that different platforms of engagement are more relevant to different community members.
Ontology has become a truly global community, covering 30 languages across multiple countries and continents. Ontology’s global reach is, in part, thanks to our Harbingers, the exceptional leaders that help Ontology continue to grow its community and ecosystem, making it a leading blockchain for management of decentralized identities and data. Currently, we have 10+ Harbingers helping manage our communities across several platforms including Telegram, Discord, and Reddit.
