Ontology utilizes Verifiable Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus, combining staking and validation to permit participating nodes to jointly pause the network during high risk

Base blockchains that settle transactions on their own network, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, competing on security, throughput, decentralization, and developer ecosystems.

Rules by which distributed networks agree on a shared ledger, from proof of work mining to proof of stake validation, trading off security, energy use, and decentralization.
