A clearer Profile

The new Profile reorganises everything you have already verified, surfaces the gaps, and shows which data dimensions qualify for active campaigns. The point is simple: you should be able to see, at a glance, whether you are ready to participate the moment a campaign opens.

Verified credentials remain on your device. They follow the W3C Verifiable Credentials standard, and they leave your wallet only when you choose to authorise a third party. Selective disclosure means you can prove what is needed without giving away what is not.

New data dimensions: ONTO Steam verification arrives

Alongside the social accounts, email, and personal data we already support, v4.10.0 adds a Steam verification flow. Connecting a Steam account turns years of gaming activity into a verifiable signal: hours played, library size, spend history, account age. For game enthusiasts, that history has been sitting idle on a single platform. From today, it can travel with you, on your terms, to campaigns that pay for it.

This is the first move in a wider data verticals push. Steam goes first because the audience is engaged, the signal is rich, and the verification is clean.

The first PALZ data campaign

PALZ Game will launch the first data monetisation campaign on ONTO. Verify a small set of data dimensions, meet the campaign criteria, and you are in for a share of a prize pool of over $2,000. The eligibility is straightforward: $5+ spent on Steam, 10+ hours played, and a follow on PALZ’s X account. The ground rule on the data side is shorter still: anything you submit must be genuine, reliable, and verifiable. Verifiable Credentials are how we enforce that.

Up to 500 qualifying players will be rewarded. Full eligibility, dates, and reward mechanics will be pinned on the ONTO and PALZ X channels.

Celebrate the launch: $500 Steam giveaway on X

To mark the v4.10.0 release, we are running a quick 2 week long giveaway off the back of the launch tweet on X. The mechanic is light: retweet our launch post and comment your favourite Steam game underneath it. We will pick 100 random winners from the comments and send each one $5. Total pool: $500.

The giveaway is open from launch and the closing date is announced on the pinned post. Whether you win or not, the better outcome is connecting your Steam account in the new Profile while you are there: the moment you do, you are eligible for the PALZ campaign and the data campaigns that follow.

Get started

Update ONTO to v4.10.0 from the App Store or Google Play, open Profile, and start verifying. If ONTO is new to you, download the wallet and create yours first. Connect Steam from the new Profile screen, then check the campaigns tab to see what is open.

This release is one move in a longer arc. The platform is built so the next campaign, and the one after that, can plug in without you redoing your work. Verify once, qualify many times, sell on your terms.

Meet AI Soulforge, a 14 day campaign to mint your first AI profile inside ONTO Wallet, share it with the world, and split an $800 ONG prize pool with the community.

What is an AI Profile?

An AI Profile is the visual and data signature of you, generated from a multi dimensional profile you build inside ONTO Wallet. Personal details, languages, education, career, and skills come together into a single, user authorised record. ONTO then turns that record into a customised AI avatar you actually own.

It is the first visible step in ONTO’s transition into a data wallet. The avatar is the fun part. The profile underneath is the asset: structured, permissioned, and ready to power the data economy we described yesterday.

How to Forge Your Soul

Four steps, all inside the ONTO app:

1. Enrich your profile. Open ONTO, head to the Profile tab, and tap Generate Your AI Profile. Fill in Personal Information, Language & Education, and Career & Skills through the Complete Your Profile tab.

2. Generate your avatar. Confirm your details and sign the message. ONTO builds your customised AI avatar on the spot.

3. Go premium (optional). Every device gets one free image avatar every 24 hours. For extra image avatars or a video avatar, pay a small fee and enter the Premium prize pool.
4. Share on X. Post your avatar template with #MyONTOSoul, then drop your post link under the official campaign tweet to enter the Social Amplifier raffle.

The Prize Pool: $800 in ONG

Two pools, one goal: reward the users who commit.

Premium Prize, $500 100 winners, $5 each, drawn at random from everyone who paid to generate an avatar during the campaign.

Social Amplifier Raffle, $300 100 winners, $3 each, drawn from users who generated an image or video avatar and shared it on X with #MyONTOSoul plus their post link and wallet address under the campaign tweet.

Each Device ID can only win once, and you can only win once across both pools.

You Own the Output

Everything you generate belongs to you. The profile data stays user authorised, the avatar is yours to post wherever you like, and any future data monetisation flows back to the wallet that owns it. That is the whole point of a data wallet: your data, your permission, your upside.
