What is Ontology?
Ontology is a high-performance public blockchain and distributed collaboration platform that launched in 2017. It was built by OnChain, a Chinese blockchain technology firm, with co-founders Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang, and its aim was to help traditional businesses adopt distributed-ledger technology without starting from scratch.
The network runs on a dual-token model. ONT is the main utility token used for staking and network decisions, while a second token, ONG, covers transaction fees. Holding ONT steadily generates ONG over time, which holders can claim and spend on network operations.
Under the hood Ontology uses a consensus method called VBFT, a hybrid of Proof of Stake, a Verifiable Random Function and Byzantine Fault Tolerance. The platform is built for cross-chain interoperability and a modular design, so organisations can assemble customised blockchain systems that still connect to other networks.
Its focus sits firmly on enterprise use: identity verification, secure data exchange and business collaboration. ONT holders can stake to help secure the network, earn ONG, and take part in on-chain decisions, while developers tap the platform's tools to build decentralised applications for real business settings.

FAQ
Buying Ontology: FAQs
What is the minimum amount of Ontology I can buy?
You can begin with a modest sum. Digital Surge lets you buy Ontology from a small AUD amount, so a large balance is not needed to get started. Enter what you want to spend in Australian dollars and see how much ONT it buys at the current price.
How quickly can I buy ONT after registering?
Usually within minutes. Once your identity check is approved you can deposit AUD by PayID, and most PayID transfers land in under a minute. You then buy ONT right away at the live AUD price, so it is often a same-day process.
Can I sell Ontology and withdraw AUD?
Yes. When you choose to exit, sell your Ontology on Digital Surge and withdraw the AUD to your Australian bank account. The same PayID and bank-transfer options you used to deposit handle the withdrawal, so returning to Australian dollars is simple.
What is the difference between ONT and ONG?
ONT is Ontology's main token, used for staking and taking part in network decisions, while ONG is the gas token that pays transaction fees. Simply holding ONT generates ONG over time, and you can claim that ONG and use it to cover activity on the network.
Is buying Ontology legal in Australia?
Yes, buying Ontology in Australia is legal. Digital Surge is an Australian business registered with AUSTRAC, so it follows the country's anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing rules for crypto exchanges. The brief identity check at sign-up is part of meeting those obligations.
