What is a Ontology node?

An Ontology node refers to a participant in the network (server with installed client software) that maintains a copy of the blockchain and participates in the consensus process. It stores and verifies transactions, ensuring the network's security and integrity.

How to run a Ontology node?

To run an Ontology node, you need to follow a set of steps. First, install the necessary software, configure the node with relevant parameters, and connect it to the network. Finally, initiate the node to synchronize with the blockchain and start participating in the network's operations.

What is a Ontology full node?

An ONT full node is a complete copy of the Ontology blockchain that stores all transaction data and participates in the network's consensus. It maintains a complete record of the blockchain and enables users to interact with the network independently.

What is Ontology RPC?

Ontology RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a communication protocol that allows users to interact with the blockchain remotely. It enables developers to make requests to the blockchain network, such as retrieving information, submitting transactions, or querying smart contracts, using RPC methods.

How does the Ontology API work?

The Ontology API provides a set of functions and endpoints that developers can use to access and interact with the Ontology blockchain. It allows users to retrieve blockchain data, submit transactions, query smart contracts, and perform various operations programmatically, enabling seamless integration of the blockchain network into applications and services.

ONT APIS FOR DAPPS

Ontology: Why should you choose it?

Ontology is a veteran EVM-compatible smart contracts platform. It launched in mainnet in late Q4, 2017. The blockchain supports Solidity smart contracts, but interacts with dApps in its unique manner.

Since it is a fast programmable blockchain, ONT RPC APIs are suitable for deploying various classes of cryptocurrency applications: DeFi protocols, DEXes, on-chain wallets, NFT marketplaces, GameFis, and metaverses.
The network is connected to all major blockchains via the ecosystem of non-custodial bridges. Its decentralized identity solution ONT ID is supported by Ethereum, Near, Neo, TRON, Klaytn, Binance Smart Chain, and Polkadot blockchains.
The blockchain works with its own type of virtual machine, OEVM. It closely resembles Ethereum Virtual Machine: Ethereum- and Polygon-based dApps can migrate to Ontology with minor code changes.
Immediately upon launch, the blockchain introduced a number of tech novelties including the likes of VBFT algorithm, the Ontology framework for developers, and the Triones Consensus System.
