Singapore, Singapore – November 12, 2025 – Ontology has announced that the ONG Tokenomics Adjustment Proposal has been approved by the network’s node operators following a three-day on-chain vote held from October 28 to October 31, 2025. The proposal passed with an overwhelming consensus of 117,169,804 votes in favor and zero votes against, marking a strong community agreement to advance updates that bolster long-term sustainability, staking incentives, and ecosystem development.
## Key Highlights of the Approved Proposal
– **Cap total ONG supply at 800 million.**
– **Permanently lock ONT and ONG assets equal to 100 million ONG in value** to strengthen liquidity and reduce circulating supply.
– **Rebalance incentives for ONT stakers** while maintaining predictable emissions.
Jun Li, Founder of Ontology, stated,
“This decision sets ONG on a clear, sustainable path with an 800 million cap, a permanent liquidity lock, and predictable emissions that support ONT stakers and simplify planning for developers. Together, these improvements are intended to drive higher on-chain usage and transactions as we complete the MainNet v3.0.0 upgrade on December 1, 2025.”

## Implementation Overview
– **Total ONG supply capped at 800 million.**
– **Release period extended from 18 to 19 years.**
– **Constant release rate maintained at 1 ONG per second.**
– **Emission distribution:** 80% allocated to ONT staking incentives and 20%, plus transaction fees, directed to ecological liquidity.
– **Liquidity strengthening:** ONG will be used to acquire ONT, forming liquidity pairs, with the resulting LP tokens burned to permanently remove these assets from circulation.
—
## Supply Effects
– **200 million ONG will be burned** to establish the new supply cap.
– **Assets equivalent to 100 million ONG will be permanently locked** in liquidity pools.

## Why This Matters
This decision marks a significant structural advancement for Ontology’s economic foundation. By reducing supply and locking liquidity, the network reinforces the value and predictability that long-term participants rely on.
– A **capped supply** establishes value discipline.
– A **permanent liquidity lock** safeguards ecosystem stability.
– **Predictable emissions** sustain staking rewards and support ongoing development.
As Web3 increasingly pivots toward real-world identity and verifiable data, sustainable blockchain networks will drive the next wave of adoption. These adjustments solidify Ontology’s position as a reliable infrastructure for decentralized identity, privacy, and trust.
A stronger, more resilient ONG foundation supports key solutions like ONT ID, ONTO Wallet, and Orange Protocol, ensuring that developers, businesses, and partners can build on Ontology confidently. This move signals a network engineered for steady growth, prepared to power the future phase of decentralized identity adoption.

## Network Upgrade Timeline
– **v2.7.0 — November 27, 2025:** Consensus and gas-limit optimizations.
– **v3.0.0 — December 1, 2025:** ONG tokenomics update alongside consensus optimization.
**Execution notes:** All MainNet and dApp nodes must upgrade to prevent synchronization pauses. Users and stakers do not need to take any action.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**Q: How long are the ONT and ONG assets equal to 100 million ONG locked?**
A: The lock is permanent. It is enforced by burning the LP tokens generated from ONG-ONT liquidity provisioning, effectively removing these underlying assets from circulation to maintain long-term supply discipline.
**Q: Will ONT staking rewards change?**
A: Emissions will decrease by approximately 20%. While this may reduce nominal payouts, the capped supply and predictable release rate will create a more stable environment for sustainable staking rewards over time. Realized APY will remain dependent on market conditions.
**Q: Do users or stakers need to take action?**
A: No action is required. The upgrade will be executed at the node level, and users or stakers should experience no service disruption.
**Q: When do the changes take effect?**
A: The tokenomics adjustments will activate with Ontology MainNet v3.0.0 on December 1, 2025, following preliminary network upgrades starting November 27, 2025. Node and dApp operators are advised to complete their upgrades promptly to maintain synchronization.
