Community vote reduces ONG supply cap from 1 billion to 800 million and establishes a permanent liquidity lock, strengthening long-term sustainability and growth.
Ontology 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 117,169,804 votes in favor and zero votes against, confirming a strong community consensus to move forward with updates that strengthen long-term sustainability, staking incentives, and ecosystem development.
“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,” said Jun Li, Founder of Ontology. “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.”
What Was Approved
Objectives
- 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.
Implementation Overview
- Cap total supply at 800 million ONG.
- Extend the release period from 18 to 19 years.
- Maintain a constant release rate of 1 ONG per second.
- Allocate 80 percent of emissions to ONT staking incentives and 20 percent, plus transaction fees, to ecological liquidity.
- Use ONG to acquire ONT, pair the two assets for liquidity, and burn the LP tokens to permanently remove the assets from circulation.
Supply Effects
- 200 million ONG will be burned to establish the new cap.
- Assets equal to 100 million ONG will be permanently locked in liquidity pools.
Why It Matters
This decision marks a structural step forward for Ontology’s economic foundation. By reducing supply and locking liquidity, the network is reinforcing the value and predictability that long-term participants depend on. A capped supply establishes value discipline. A permanent lock safeguards liquidity. Predictable emissions sustain staking rewards and ecosystem stability.
As Web3 shifts toward real-world identity and verifiable data, sustainable networks will define the next wave of adoption. These adjustments strengthen Ontology’s position as a reliable infrastructure for decentralized identity, privacy, and trust.
A more resilient ONG foundation supports ONT ID, ONTO Wallet, and Orange Protocol, ensuring that developers, businesses, and partners can build on Ontology with confidence. It signals a network engineered for steady growth, ready to power the next 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 and consensus optimization.
- Execution: All MainNet and dApp nodes upgrade to avoid synchronization pauses.
- Users and stakers: No action required.
Key Questions:
- How long are the ONT and ONG assets equal to 100 million ONG locked: The lock is permanent. It is enforced by burning the LP tokens created from ONG–ONT liquidity provisioning. This mechanism removes the underlying assets from circulation and maintains long-term supply discipline.
- Will ONT staking rewards change: Emissions will decrease by about 20 percent. This may adjust nominal payouts, but the capped supply and predictable release rate create a more stable environment for sustainable staking rewards over time. Realized APY remains market-dependent.
- Do users or stakers need to take action: No action is required. The upgrade will be executed at the node level, and users or stakers should experience no service disruption.
- When do the changes take effect: The tokenomics adjustments activate with Ontology MainNet v3.0.0 on December 1, 2025, following network upgrades beginning November 27, 2025. Node and dApp operators are advised to complete upgrades accordingly to maintain synchronization.
