How to buy Ontology Gas (ONG)

How to buy and use Ontology Gas (ONG) on its native network

Ontology Gas (ONG) is a utility token used within the Ontology blockchain ecosystem. Launched in 2018, the project uses a dual-token model to separate governance from network utility. While ONT is used for staking and node operations, ONG is used to pay for on-chain services and transactions. This separation is intended to keep transaction fees stable even if the value of the primary asset fluctuates.

What the native network does

The Ontology network is an open source blockchain that focuses on digital identity and data. Its infrastructure supports Layer 2 scalability and cross chain collaboration.

The ecosystem uses two tokens to manage different functions. ONT is the governance tool used for staking. ONG is the utility token that anchors value for on chain applications. By using ONG for gas fees, the network prevents the cost of executing smart contracts from becoming too volatile.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

ONG exists on multiple networks. You must verify which network an exchange or wallet uses before sending funds.

The token is available on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) with the following contract address: 0x308bfaeAaC8BDab6e9Fc5Ead8EdCb5f95b0599d9. It also exists on the native ONT network.

To verify transactions or check balances, you can use the official explorer. Always confirm the contract address through the official website or documentation before making a transfer.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving ONG from an exchange to a private wallet carries specific risks.

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for most listed routes unless the exchange explicitly states it. You should not assume that every exchange supports the same network. Sending BEP20 tokens to an ONT address, or vice versa, can result in a permanent loss of funds.

Users should verify the exact contract address and network before any transfer. Using lookalike addresses is a common mistake. Additionally, account features and KYC requirements vary by country, which may affect your ability to withdraw funds.
