Ontology is a layer-1 blockchain launched with a focus on decentralized identity, data sharing and business use cases rather than on trading apps. It uses its own consensus design, called VBFT, which combines validator selection with Byzantine fault tolerant agreement. Ontology started with its own smart contract environment and has since added an EVM-compatible network, so some Ethereum-style tools and wallets can work with it. Check which environment a given app uses before you connect.
The native token is ONT, which is used for staking and governance. Network fees are paid in a second token, ONG, so holding ONT alone does not cover transaction costs. Fees are generally low, but you should check current rates and staking rules in the official Ontology documentation. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Ontology was about $4.7M, which makes it a small ecosystem.
Because DeFi activity here is limited, the dApps we list for Ontology are mostly infrastructure and access points. Poly Network is a cross-chain bridge for moving tokens between many blockchains, and is best for users who understand bridge risk. Bitget is a centralized exchange covering spot and futures trading across many chains. It is an exchange, not an Ontology-native DeFi protocol.

Guides for Ontology and other chains
Blockchain
Why Ontology Is Different: Meanings, Uses and Context in 2026Ontology means different things in philosophy, data science and crypto. This guide explains the data sense in detail, sets it apart from taxonomies and schemas, and separates it from the Ontology blockchain so readers know which meaning they are dealing with.
Blockchain
Blockchain Examples and How They WorkLearn how blockchains record and verify transactions, how consensus keeps a shared ledger in sync, and how Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks put the technology to work. See practical examples, key trade-offs and ways to assess whether a blockchain is a good fit.
Blockchain
Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.
Blockchain
Casper Network and CSPR: A Practical Guide for 2026Casper Network is a proof-of-stake blockchain, and CSPR is its native token. This guide explains the network’s purpose, how CSPR is used, and what to check before staking or transacting.
Blockchain
Cosmos Network Guide: Chains, IBC and ATOM in 2026Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains, not one chain that processes every app and token. Learn how the Cosmos Hub, Cosmos SDK and IBC fit together, what ATOM does, and how to assess transfers, staking and risks in 2026.
Blockchain
How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.
Frequently asked questions
What is Ontology?
Ontology is a layer-1 blockchain built around digital identity, data and enterprise use cases, with support for smart contracts. It has its own native token, ONT, and a separate gas token, ONG.
What is the ONT token used for?
ONT is the main token, used for staking and governance. Network fees are paid in ONG, which is a separate token. Check the current fee and staking rules in the official Ontology documentation before you transact.
Is Ontology compatible with Ethereum?
Ontology has an EVM-compatible network alongside its original smart contract environment, so Ethereum-style wallets and tools can work with it. Check which network a dApp supports before you connect a wallet or send funds.
How big is DeFi on Ontology?
Very little. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Ontology was about $4.7M, which is small next to the large smart contract chains. Liquidity is thin, so expect fewer choices and larger price impact on trades.
Which dApps are listed for Ontology on this site?
Our listing currently has 3 dApps for Ontology. They include Poly Network, a cross-chain bridge, and Bitget, a centralized exchange that serves many chains. Bitget's TVL figure is not Ontology DeFi activity.
Is it safe to use a bridge like Poly Network?
Bridges add risk because funds sit in smart contracts and rely on cross-chain messaging. Poly Network suits people who understand those risks. Start with a small test transfer, confirm the destination chain and address, and never bridge more than you can afford to lose.
What is the largest dApp on Ontology by TVL?
Bitget is the largest dApp on Ontology by total value locked, with $5.93B across all the chains it supports. TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Ontology has the highest DappsAtlas score?
Bitget has the highest score at 7.6/10, ahead of Moon Usdt Miner (5.8) and Moonsta s Revenge (5.8). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
How many dApps are on Ontology?
