The Ontology network is unique in that it allows businesses to utilize both a public and a private blockchain at the same time. Ontology was developed to make it easier for businesses of all sizes to use blockchain without having to totally change their business model.
The team behind the initiative wants to make using the blockchain as simple as possible for those who don't necessarily have significant knowledge of the technology.
It's worth noting that the ONT tokens were given out as part of an airdrop, which means the firm didn't have to raise money.
