Ontology has released a technical community bounty program to help create a technical community where everyone can get more involved and be encouraged to participate in Ontology’s development and governance. 10% of all ONT (100,000,000 ONT) is allocated to the technical community. We hope you can participate actively in this scheme and together build up the Ontology technical community.

This technical community bounty program is mainly for individual and team developers. We encourage developers to build independent teams to assist with development.
