Ontology (ONT) is best known as a high-performance public blockchain network designed to help migrate proprietary enterprise platforms into secure distributed ledgers without compromising on features, security, or accessibility.

Due to the explosion in demand and climbing up the market capitalization rankings, holders of ONT have the option to secure their tokens securely off-chain on a Ledger hardware wallet where no asset management is yet possible. This is why users turn to third-party wallets such as the OWallet.
