Ontology, a blockchain focused on Web3’s decentralized identity and trust infrastructure, is pleased to announce the release of Ontello Beta, a new app that provides encrypted messaging, on-chain identity, and artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The mission behind this release is to deliver messages fully on-chain in encrypted form under this single app while protecting user identities.
Today, we’re releasing the Ontello beta to our community 🚀
A new breed of Social + Web3 apps brings private encrypted messaging, on-chain identity, passkey-protected smart wallets, and AI agents into one simple experience. https://t.co/frxNTlJABm@matrixdotorg @ont_did

Ontology promises that this is a first-of-its-kind social +Web3 app that guarantees a high level of security and provides users with a comfort zone through encryption of messages and on-chain identities. Additionally, the application also features a powerful system in the form of a passkey-protected smart wallet along with an AI agent. In this decentralized world, true identity has become a hot question in the market. Ontologies appear on the front page to address ontology for user development. Ontology revealed the news through its official X account.
Ontello delivers self-sovereign identity and encryption experience
Essentially, the purpose behind this release is to ensure full ownership in the sense that users have their own identity and their own actions are not beholden to any platform. With Ontello, users will be able to experience a secure end-to-end encrypted messenger, a self-sovereign identity powered by ONT ID, a built-in smart wallet that ensures proper integration with device passkeys, and an AI agent for Web3 life.
Moreover, Ontology provides good guidance for efficient working of Ontello Beta which is as easy as any other app. First of all, users use ONT ID to create a decentralized identity. This is because ONT ID ties every message to a real, verifiable, self-owned identity. This process allows the user to change the display name later, but the ONT ID remains persistent.
Empowering users with decentralized identity and AI for Web3
This innovative step of Ontology is much more beneficial for users in terms of decentralized identity with a secure passkey system in the wallet. Additionally, Ontello Beta creates an automatic self-custody smart wallet upon first registration. In other words, there is no need for seed phrases, private key management, or complexity, but only the user’s wallet is protected by a passkey.
This initiative is critical because users can now send their assets to ONT IDs, ENS, or standard addresses. Last but not least, one of the interesting features of the Ontello beta is the AI Agent Store, built specifically for Web3 users. To summarize in one line, Ontello’s purpose is to decentralize user identities, encrypt communications, and empower individuals with AI rather than platforms.
