Ready to Hack the Future of Digital Identity? Join Ontology’s Challenge at the DIF Hackathon 2024
If you’re a developer who wants to help shape the future of decentralized identity — and maybe take home part of a $70,000 prize pool — the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) Hackathon 2024 is where you need to be. Running from October 1st to November 4th, this event brings together creators, innovators, and coders from around the world to redefine digital identity through cutting-edge solutions.
Ontology is stepping up with a challenge that puts the spotlight on ONT Login, our decentralized authentication tool. We’re inviting developers to take it for a spin, build something amazing, and demonstrate just how easy it is to integrate decentralized identity into real-world applications. Whether you’re building for Web2 or Web3, ONT Login is here to make decentralized authentication simple and secure.
The Hackathon: A Platform for Innovation
The DIF Hackathon is no ordinary coding event. With tracks covering Education, Reusable Identity, Travel, and Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), this hackathon offers endless opportunities for both seasoned developers and newcomers to showcase their skills. Plus, with $70,000 up for grabs, this is the perfect chance to innovate, collaborate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible with decentralized identity.
Ontology’s Challenge: Show Us What You Can Build with ONT Login
At the core of Ontology’s hackathon challenge is ONT Login, a decentralized universal authentication solution that empowers developers to integrate secure, privacy-first login functionality into their apps. With ONT Login, users can log in seamlessly without sacrificing control over their data — a crucial step forward in a world where privacy is increasingly under attack.
We’re challenging you to:
- Create a repository for ONT Login’s technical documentation or SDKs to help make the tool even more accessible to the broader developer community.
- Show us a demo of ONT Login integrated into an existing app, adding it as one of your user login methods. Whether it’s a Web2 or Web3 app, we want to see ONT Login in action, providing a glimpse into a future where decentralized authentication is the norm, not the exception.
Why ONT Login Matters
In the age of constant data breaches, the need for reusable, self-sovereign identity has never been greater. ONT Login is fully open-source and supports multi-SDKs, making it flexible enough to fit into any project while protecting user privacy. It’s not just a technical solution — it’s a statement. A statement that users deserve control over their personal data, and that decentralized identity can deliver on the promise of a more secure digital future.

Why You Should Care
Let’s be real — our digital identities are under constant threat. Every week, there’s another data breach, another scandal involving companies selling our personal information to the highest bidder. ONT Login is Ontology’s answer to that mess. It gives users control over their own data, ensuring privacy without compromising convenience. And now, we’re handing it over to you, the developers, to show the world what decentralized authentication can really do.
This isn’t just about winning a hackathon. It’s about proving that we don’t have to settle for the status quo in digital identity. It’s about showing that privacy and security can coexist with ease of use, and that decentralized identity is the way forward.
So, what are you waiting for? Join the DIF Hackathon, take the ONT Login Challenge, and be part of the next wave of innovation in decentralized identity.
Happy hacking, and may the best builder win.
