The Ontology network is fully decentralized and therefore highly resistant against hacks, which would have to affect over half of the connected devices to make an impact.

Ontology has a total coin supply of 1,000,000,000 ONT, of which nearly 80% are currently in circulation. At its launch, 15% of ONT tokens were allocated to its core team, 10% to the NEO council, 28% to institutional partners, 10% to its technical community and 25% to the development of its ecosystem. These tokens were subject to a strict screening process and various unlocking periods that ran over two years until the end of October 2020.

Ontology offers a variety of real-life use cases and allows businesses to build their own blockchain on top of the Ontology blockchain. This provides businesses and enterprises with more flexibility, enabling them to create customized blockchains to fit their specific needs. The Ontology chain is designed with interoperability in mind. The network currently supports three virtual machines (Ontology EVM, NeoVM, WasmVM), helping to break down barriers to development and provide a familiar environment for those wanting to build with Ontology. This is the baseline infrastructure to enable easy, cross-chain building for Web3. Of course, providing the infrastructure is only one of the solutions to the challenges provided by Web3. The user experience is also crucial, and this is another area where Ontology is uniquely placed to make a positive contribution. ONTO Wallet gives cross-chain access to the user, placing Web3 in the palm of their hands. Combine this with ONT ID, which allows users to keep control over the ID and data. Furthermore, with features like ONT Login, which simplifies the registration and password management procedures, Ontology has the tools available to provide the most seamless access to the next iteration of the Internet.

Established by Li Jun in November 27th, 2017, Ontology is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first. As a philosopher with a technical background, Li Jun named the project Ontology, 1) in philosophical terms, “Ontology is the branch of philosophy that studies concepts such as existence, being, becoming, and reality.” 2) In the Semantic Web, there is a very basic protocol called Ontology. Across the technology and philosophical field, Ontology refers to the basic infrastructure of things, which matches our vision of building a decentralized and credit-based infrastructure.

[Ontology](https://ont.io) is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first. The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain. At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular [initial coin offering (ICO)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT [cryptocurrency](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies). This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny. For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/). Ontology [launched its own MainNet](https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/ontology-mainnet-ontology-1-0-has-officially-launched) on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

We are taking guilds to the next level by serving as an infrastructure to onboard, connect, and add value to Players, Guilds, Games, and Investors alike. To build an interconnected ecosystem where players' time and efforts are interoperable across the metaverse.

BAND was first tracked on public exchanges by CoinMarketCap in September 2019. Since then, it has been listed on a wide range of platforms, including several tier 1 exchanges — like Binance, [Coinbase Pro](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinbase-pro/) and [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/okex/). The vast majority of BAND trading pairs are against [Tether (USDT)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/) and [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/), but BAND can also be traded against several fiat currencies, including GBP, USD and EUR on Coinbase Pro. For more information about buying cryptocurrency as a beginner, read our [comprehensive guide](https://coinmarketcap.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin/).

Though BAND tokens were previously based on the ERC-20 standard, they were recently relaunched as native BAND tokens on the Band Protocol mainnet (known as BandChain). Holders of the older tokens are able to complete a 1:1 swap by depositing their [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) BAND tokens to Binance, and then withdrawing them as native tokens. This will be necessary to participate in BAND staking — which is only available for mainnet tokens. Based on the Cosmos' SDK, BandChain is secured by a Byzantine fault Tolerance (BFT) [consensus](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) algorithm, which protects it against [attacks](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack). This works in combination with a delegated proof of stake (dPOS) setup, which secures the network’s oracles and allows BAND holders to earn staking rewards for delegating their stake to nodes.

Band Protocol originally released the BAND token following an [initial exchange offering (IEO)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-exchange-offering) on the Binance Launchpad in September 2019. A total of 27.37% of the total supply was sold across three token sale rounds (seed, private, and public sale). The total supply of BAND is capped at 100 million tokens. Of this, just over 20% (20.49 million tokens) were in circulation as of November 2020. Overall, a total of 20% of the BAND token supply is allocated to the team, plus a further 5% to its advisors. 25.63% is allocated to the Band Protocol ecosystem. Based on the projected emission rate, a total of 100% of the total supply should be in circulation by 2025 at the earliest

Band Protocol is designed to be faster and more efficient than competing oracle solutions and is also compatible with most blockchain and [smart contract](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) development frameworks — ensuring reliable data can be fed to and from multiple different blockchains. To achieve its cross-chain data transfer, Band Protocol plans to leverage Cosmos' still in-development Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. It remains unclear how long it will take until the IBC is operational and ready for use. Band Protocol is designed to offer permissionless oracle creation, allowing anybody to start servicing data requests. It also offers extremely simple smart contract integration, allowing developers to begin using data from Band Protocol oracles with just a few lines of code by calling on a predefined interface.

Band Protocol was founded in 2017 by Soravis Srinawakoon, Paul Chonpimai and Sorawit Suriyakarn. Soravis Srinawakoon, the current CEO of Band Protocol, is a former software engineer at Ericsson and management consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. Paul Chonpimai, on the other hand, is Band Protocol's CPO, and a former web developer at Turfmapp and engineer at Tripadvisor. Lastly, former software engineer at Dropbox and Quora Sorawit Suriyakarn is Band Protocol's current CTO and a gold medalist competitive programmer. In addition to the founding team, the Band Protocol LinkedIn page currently lists a total of 20 additional employees, most of which are scattered throughout Asia, and include designers, developers and engineers. The platform is also supported by major global investors, including Sequoia Capital, Dunamu & Partners, Spartan Group and [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/).

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources. By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to [blockchains](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain), Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their [decentralized application (DApp)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more. Band Protocol initially launched as an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role. BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.

[JOE](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/joe/) (JOE) is available on [TraderJoe](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/traderjoe/), [Pangolin](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/pangolin/) and [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/).

Trader Joe is built upon [Avalanche](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/avalanche/) (AVAX), a blockchain with its own proprietary [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism), in which all nodes process and validate transactions by employing a [directed acyclic graph](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/directed-acyclic-graph-dag) (DAG) protocol. The treasury is currently entrusted to its developers Cryptofish and 0xMurloc, although the Trader Joe community plans to establish a multi-signature governance mechanism in future. For now, token holders can vote on the development of the protocol via Snapshot.

The total supply of [JOE](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/joe/) (JOE) is 500 million. The token was launched without a pre-sale, private sale, or pre-listing allocations. The distribution of JOE is as follows: * 50% – liquidity providers * 20% – treasury * 20% – team (three-month cliff) * 10% – future investors (three-month cliff) JOE is being emitted over a 30-month period and JOE stakers earn 0.05% of all trades. JOE also pays a share of fees from lending interest and liquidations into the staking pool. The emission rates of JOE steadily decrease over time and will come to an end at the beginning of January 2024.

Trader Joe provides all the functionality of a modern DEX and offers a convenient user interface, combined with speedy and cheap transactions. Users can provide [liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) by participating in one of its yield farms and earn [JOE](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/joe/) (JOE) as a reward token, which can later be staked and used to vote in governance proposals. Its lending protocol Banker Joe, based on the [Compound](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/compound/) (COMP) [protocol](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/protocol), allows users to borrow and lend funds in a non-custodial manner. Moreover, users can also open leveraged positions on their provided or borrowed funds. To increase the utility and adoption of the JOE token, Trader Joe is working on introducing several new options, which are aimed at transforming the project into the main DeFi platform within the Avalanche ecosystem. First of all, users will be able to use JOE as collateral to borrow against. Moreover, Trader Joe also plans to facilitate [limit orders](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/limit-order), [options](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/options-market) and [futures](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/futures) trading on its platform.

COTI has an infrastructure that is based on the DAG protocol and their Trustchain algorithm. Above this infrastructure layer lies the services layer known as Coti X. Coti X offers KYC and compliance, interoperability exchange, buyer-seller protections and stability frameworks. Then you have the COTIPLAY layer, which offers externally developed stable coins, externally developed payment apps and much more. COTI uses a hash table as its data structure which is based on chaining. This means that the blockchain itself can secure the computing and privacy of customers. The COTI protocols have made the system a lot more secure for both buyers and sellers. As such, COTI has an ecosystem that provides robust cybersecurity measures around data integrity as well as confidentiality. The COTI wallet is based on the React Native Framework and provides cross-platform functionality and portability. The COTI wallet requires user credentials and is paired with 2FA login in order to establish a connection with the node manager. Once this is established, all communication requires the wallet’s seed. This means that all of the messages are validated and no spoofing or manipulation is possible within this system.
