# Discover Ontology ## TestNet Tokens **Ontology TestNet** has been made available for public use to facilitate developers in their `dApp` development process. It can be used to **deploy** and **test run** smart contracts before actually deploying them on the **MainNet**. {% hint style="info" %} The deployment and execution process consumes **gas** on the TestNet as well. **TestNet tokens** can be applied for by following this [**link**](https://developer.ont.io/applyOng). {% endhint %} ## Ontology Trust Ecosystem ![](/files/-LvskNpRTuqSpq4w1urD) ### ONTO **ONTO** serves as Ontology's primary **digital wallet application**.

For more incentive and consensus related information, click [here](https://medium.com/ontologynetwork/triones-node-incentive-model-dbcb175f4728). ### **Synchronization node |** Ontology MainNet / Polaris TestNet Synchronization nodes do not participate in network consensus, and only synchronize the blocks generated by the Triones (bookkeeping) nodes. ### **Single node | Ontology Privatenet / Polaris TestNet** Ontology supports single node network deployment for development in a private testing environment. {% hint style="info" %} Follow [**this**](/ontology-node/node-deployment.md) link for a guide on how to deploy a node. {% endhint %} ## Whitepapers ### Introductory White Paper * [**English**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Introductory-White-Paper-EN.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Introductory-White-Paper-ZH.pdf) * [**Korean**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Introductory-White-Paper-KR.pdf) translated by **@Sunghwan Kim** * [**Dutch**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/nl-NL/Introductory%20White%20Paper%20-%20Dutch%20V1.pdf) translated by **@Mark Westerweel** * [**Japanese**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/jp_JP/Ontology%20Introductory%20White%20Paper%20JP.pdf) translated by **@Miho Nakauchi** * [**Spanish**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/es-ES/Introductory%20White%20Paper%20-%20Spanish.pdf) translated by **@Alejandro Garcia** * [**Turkish**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/tr_TR/Introductory%20White%20Paper%20-%20Turkish.pdf) translated by **@Hakan** ### Technical White Paper * [**English**](https://github.com/ontio/Documentation/blob/master/Ontology-technology-white-paper-EN.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-technology-white-paper-ZH.pdf) * [**Korean**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-technology-white-paper-KR.pdf) translated by **@Sunghwan Kim** * [**Dutch**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/nl-NL/Technology%20White%20Paper%20-%20Dutch%20V1.pdf) translated by **@Mark Westerweel** * [**Japanese**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/jp_JP/Ontology%20Technology%20White%20Paper%20JP.pdf) translated by **@Miho Nakauchi** ### Ecosystem White Paper * [**English**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Ecosystem-White-Paper-EN.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Ecosystem-White-Paper-ZH.pdf) * [**Korean**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Ecosystem-White-Paper-KR.pdf) translated by **@Sunghwan Kim** * [**Dutch**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/nl-NL/Ecosystem%20White%20Paper%20-%20Dutch%20V1.pdf) translated by **@Mark Westerweel** * [**Japanese**](https://github.com/ontio/documentation/blob/master/jp_JP/Ontology%20Ecosystem%20White%20Paper-JP.pdf) translated by **@Miho Nakauchi** ### Framework White Paper * [**English**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Framework-White-Paper-EN-2.0.0.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Framework-White-Paper-CH-2.0.0.pdf) ### Infrastructure White Paper * [**English**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Infrastructure-White-Paper-EN-2.0.0.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Infrastructure-White-Paper-CH-2.0.0.pdf) ### Trust Framework White Paper * [**English**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Trust-Framework-White-Paper-EN-2.0.0.pdf) * [**Chinese**](https://ont.io/wp/Ontology-Trust-Framework-White-Paper-CH-2.0.0.pdf) ## Become a Trust Anchor **Trust anchors** are entities that are a part of Ontology's **distributed identity network** and provide **credential verification** services for other users in the trust network.
