On today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I learn more about Ontology, a high-performance enterprise blockchain that is consistently reaching targets on its steady rise to the top. Powered by the Ontology Coin (ONT), the distributed collaboration platform allows businesses to enjoy the benefits of smart contracts and tokenization while retaining control of their sensitive data.

Having launched its mainnet in June 2018, Ontology enables mainstream blockchain adoption by providing enterprises dipping their toes into DLT waters with an ecosystem that supports choice. With a primary focus on delivering a robust, speedy, easy to use platform, Ontology affords businesses the flexibility to design a blockchain that best suits their needs.

Its features include ONT ID, a mobile digital ID application, as well as DDXF, a decentralized data exchange, and a collaboration framework to solve issues related to identity security and data integrity. Together these applications work to transfer data ownership into the hands of the user.

Erick Pinos, Ecosystem Lead of Ontology's Americas Operations, graduated from MIT, where he was President of the MIT Bitcoin Club and a researcher at the MIT Digital Currency Initiative. Erick joins me on the podcast to talk about the Ontology story so far and its future plans. We also discuss why Ontology's bespoke technology is an industry game-changer for developers, enterprises, and end-users.
