  "description": "Ontology Gas (ONG) is the native transactional token that powers the Ontology Layer-1 blockchain, designed with a strong focus on decentralized identity (ONT ID), modular data exchange (DDXF), and enterprise-friendly cross-chain capabilities. ONG is deployed in a dual-token economic model alongside ONT — where ONT functions as the staking and governance token and ONG is explicitly separated as the gas/utility currency for transaction fees and on-chain services. This separation is a deliberate architectural choice intended to stabilize transaction economics independently of governance incentives, simplifying developer and enterprise integrations while enabling predictable fee behavior for application-level operations. The project positions itself as enterprise-friendly and standards-oriented, publishing developer documentation and interoperability frameworks to encourage integration with identity-aware applications and regulated environments.\n\nFrom a technology perspective, Ontology adopts a hybrid consensus approach drawing on Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT) and Verifiable Random Functions (VRF) to achieve rapid finality and introduce cryptographic randomness where needed. The chain architecture emphasizes identity primitives (ONT ID) and a decentralized data exchange framework (DDXF), both of which are intended to lower the barrier for enterprise integration and data-centric dApp development. The roadmap items and recent client release notes included plans for EVM compatibility and a token-decimal upgrade to improve dApp compatibility and EVM tooling support; those mainnet upgrade steps culminated in the v3.0.0 client rollout in late 2025. The network is open source and maintains an active documentation portal; however, explicit code-language choices, a canonical GitHub link, and certain low-level metrics (full historical chain size, average block size, and TPS benchmarks) were not enumerated in the provided dataset.\n\nIn practical terms, ONG’s use cases are clear: it serves as the medium for paying transaction fees, running smart contract operations (where applicable), and providing an economic instrument for on-chain services connected to identity and data exchange frameworks. The separation from ONT allows developers and enterprises to manage utility costs and governance participation independently — ONT holders provide staking and governance functionality while ONG is consumed by applications and transaction processing. The ecosystem shows practical exchange availability (notably a Tier‑1 CEX listing on Binance and presence on PancakeSwap) and wallet support across hardware (Ledger), desktop (mew), and mobile (TokenPocket) clients, which together support custody and user access patterns favored by institutional and retail adopters. On-chain supply metrics reported in the supplied material indicate a max supply of 1,000,000,000 ONG, total supply around 800,000,000, and a circulating supply of roughly 434.33M ONG as reflected in market-tracking sources.\n\nTokenomics and economic design are anchored by the dual-token approach and the community/governance processes that can modify issuance parameters. The provided dataset shows community governance activity in late 2025 where proposals to adjust ONG tokenomics were introduced and approved, with tokenomics adjustments scheduled to take effect via block-height triggers in mid-December 2025. Historically, the token’s all-time high price is recorded at $11.56 (May 3, 2018) and market snapshots in the supplied data list a spot price near $0.08245, with a market capitalization in the tens of millions and modest daily trading volume. Pre-mine and pre-issued-percentage details were not documented in the supplied inputs, and the raw DScore extraction did not provide explicit premine or PIP figures; default extraction assumptions were applied where the dataset lacked a clear statement.\n\nGovernance for Ontology shows evidence of community proposals and voting actions — documented governance events and upgrade votes in late 2025 demonstrate an active proposal mechanism capable of enacting economic and protocol-level changes. That said, the supplied materials do not present a fully documented on-chain DAO charter or a single controlling corporate entity; governance appears to be community-driven and executed through token/proposal mechanisms rather than centralized corporate directives. Security and stability history from the supplied files shows no major chain freezes or high‑confidence security incidents, although comprehensive incident histories and node-level telemetry were not present in the provided dataset and are flagged as outstanding items for the node-tracker and DScore validation agents. Overall, ONG functions as a focused utility token serving Ontology’s identity- and data-centric use cases, with a documented upgrade pathway toward EVM compatibility that positions the chain to attract broader dApp and DeFi integrations.",
