That’s A Wrap! Consensus: Distributed 2020 Over and Out
CoinDesk’s flagship conference came to a close on Friday and what a week it was! In a first-of-its-kind move, the event took place virtually, with some of the biggest names in blockchain featuring throughout the week. As well as participating in Consensus Distributed: 2020 through the Ontology Virtual Booth, the Ontology team conducted a series of live webinars over the course of the week. These webinars gave both the Ontology community members and Consensus: Distributed attendees a unique opportunity to gain deeper insights into our high-performance enterprise blockchain and bespoke decentralized products — including the launch of our new product SAGA.
Learn more about ONT ID:
On Monday, our digital identity experts Erick Pinos, Ontology’s Americas Ecosystem Lead, and Hu Ning, Senior Tech Lead for Ontology’s Digital Identity, kicked off proceedings with an in-depth analysis followed by an open Q&A focusing on ONT ID, Ontology’s decentralized digital identity platform.
Our aim is to make the way the world share and store data better for everyone; increasing trust, security, and transparency. Our unique ONT ID protocol can be easily adopted by individuals and enterprises and is specially designed to put users in control of their data and identity. ONT ID helps increase control and trust when it comes to data, reordering the data to ensure its true value is realized, and helping make systems and sensitive information less vulnerable to attacks. Combined with DDXF, Ontology’s distributed data exchange framework, business information can be recorded and circulated between parties securely, increasing collaboration and unlocking real business value while respecting the privacy and rights of all parties.

New Product Launch — SAGA (decentralized data market place)
In what was one of our most exciting live webinars, Will Liu, Head of SAGA at Ontology and Ontology experts Hu Ning, Senior Tech Lead for Digital Identity, officially announced the launch of our new product SAGA, a decentralized data marketplace designed to allow users to monetize and acquire data in a trusted, standardized, and cost-effective way.
Watch it back:
The SAGA data marketplace is powered by a complete data interaction protocol based on the Ontology public chain, a world-leading public chain with 200,000+ users and 100+ eco-partners. The process of data valuation, profit sharing, data security, and privacy protection is fully decentralized through the Ontology blockchain. Individuals and companies using the SAGA data marketplace can benefit from raw data and data processing services and insights while maintaining full control over their data by leveraging the unique features of the Ontology public blockchain.
Powered by the Ontology blockchain, which was built on the premise of trust, security, and transparency, SAGA employs stringent regulatory-compliant verification processes that authorize companies to purchase data stored on the SAGA platform. The platform operates with the utmost care when requesting sensitive data from individuals. In addition, SAGA offers multiple secure data analysis and processing services.
Other than the sessions above, Ontology also provided 3 other webinars on ONTO, Tech, and Enterprise Solution Respectively.
