From January 21 to January 31, 2025, we’re teaming up with Changelly to reward our most active traders and give everyone a shot at winning through our lucky draw. Whether you’re a seasoned swapper or just getting started, there’s something here for you.

What’s in the Prize Pool?

We’re splitting 5,400 USDT across two reward tracks:

Trading Competition: 5,000 USDT shared among the top 10 traders, distributed proportionally based on your trading volume. The more you trade, the bigger your slice of the pie.

Lucky Draw: 400 USDT going to 20 randomly selected participants – that’s 20 USDT each. All you need is 100 USDT in trading volume to enter.

How It Works

Getting involved is simple:

1. Open your ONTO Multi-Chain Wallet
2. Head to Swap/Bridge in the app
3. Select Changelly as your trading source
4. Start trading

That’s it. Every eligible trade you make during the campaign automatically counts toward your total volume.

A Quick Example

Let’s say you finish in the top 10 with 200,000 USDT in trading volume, and the combined volume of all top 10 participants is 1,000,000 USDT. Your share would be 20% of the pool, which means you’d take home 1,000 USDT.

The math is straightforward: your volume ÷ total top 10 volume × 5,000 USDT = your reward.

Don’t Want to Compete? You Can Still Win

Not everyone trades at high volumes, and that’s perfectly fine. Hit 100 USDT in total trading volume during the campaign, and you’re automatically entered into the lucky draw. Twenty winners will be randomly selected, each receiving 20 USDT.

And yes, you can participate in both the competition and the lucky draw at the same time.

When Do I Get My Rewards?

No forms to fill out, no addresses to submit. After the campaign ends on January 31, we’ll crunch the numbers and announce results within 3 business days. Rewards will be sent directly to your ONTO wallet as USDT on BNB Chain.

• Only trades made between 8:00 UTC on January 21 and 8:00 UTC on January 31, 2025 count
• Trades must go through Changelly within the ONTO app
• Wash trading, fraudulent activity, or gaming the system will result in disqualification

CeDeFi offers a practical way to reduce that complexity.

By combining centralized liquidity with decentralized, non-custodial access, CeDeFi allows users to complete common actions like swaps and cross-chain transfers more efficiently, without changing how asset control is managed. Inside ONTO Wallet, CeDeFi plays a supporting role in making Web3 easier to navigate, not harder.

What CeDeFi Means in a Non-Custodial Wallet

CeDeFi is often described as a blend of centralized and decentralized finance. In practice, what matters most is how it’s implemented.

Inside a non-custodial wallet like ONTO, CeDeFi does not mean handing assets over to an exchange account. Instead, it allows users to access external liquidity providers directly from within the wallet interface.

When you initiate a swap or bridge through a CeDeFi service in ONTO Wallet:

• You sign the transaction using your own private keys
• The wallet authorizes the transaction but does not take custody
• Execution is handled by an external service provider
• The result is settled on-chain back to your wallet

At every step, control remains with you. The wallet acts as an orchestration layer, connecting you to liquidity without becoming a custodian.

Why This Matters for Everyday Web3 Use

For many users, the challenge isn’t understanding what Web3 can do. It’s navigating how to do it safely and efficiently.

Without CeDeFi, users often need to:

• Move assets to centralized exchanges
• Manage multiple accounts and interfaces
• Transfer funds between platforms
• Track execution across different services

CeDeFi integrations inside ONTO Wallet reduce these steps. Swaps and cross-chain transfers can be completed where you already manage your assets, without redirecting to external applications.

This doesn’t remove choice. It reduces unnecessary effort.

Exchange Options Available in ONTO Wallet

ONTO Wallet integrates with multiple CeDeFi service providers to give users flexibility when swapping or bridging assets. Current integrations include:

• Changelly
• SimpleSwap
• Exolix

Each provider offers different routes, liquidity sources, and execution characteristics. ONTO allows users to choose the option that best fits their needs, rather than relying on a single pathway.

These integrations are optional. You decide when to use them and which service to choose.

Supporting a Multi-Chain Web3 Experience

Web3 is no longer confined to a single ecosystem. Users regularly interact with both EVM and non-EVM chains, move assets across networks, and explore new environments.

CeDeFi helps make this possible by abstracting some of the complexity involved in cross-chain activity. Instead of navigating multiple tools, users can focus on what they want to do next, not how many steps it will take.

Inside ONTO Wallet, CeDeFi supports a broader goal: making discovery across Web3 more accessible without compromising self-custody.

Control Comes First

A key principle behind CeDeFi in ONTO Wallet is optionality.

You are never required to use CeDeFi services. Your private keys remain under your control, and the wallet does not enforce a single execution path. Trust is applied selectively, based on the action you choose to take.

This approach aligns with ONTO Wallet’s broader design philosophy: tools should empower users, not constrain them.

Exploring Web3 with Fewer Barriers

CeDeFi does not replace decentralized finance, nor does it remove the need for users to understand what they are doing. What it does is reduce friction at the moments where complexity can become a barrier.

By integrating CeDeFi services directly into the wallet layer, ONTO Wallet makes common actions like swapping and bridging easier to complete, while keeping control where it belongs.

As Web3 continues to evolve, tools that help users move confidently across ecosystems will become increasingly important. CeDeFi, when implemented thoughtfully, is one of the ways ONTO Wallet supports that journey.

Explore exchange options directly inside ONTO Wallet and choose the path that works for how you use Web3.

New chains appeared, ecosystems expanded, and the pace of change continued to accelerate, with Web3 adoption and market size growing rapidly according to industry forecasts.

Alongside new opportunities came more uncertainty, more risk, and more friction for people trying to explore what Web3 had to offer.

ONTO’s response was not to chase everything new.

It was to evolve deliberately into a Web3 discovery wallet designed to make exploration clearer, safer, and more useful.

This work was not driven by arbitrary version numbers or headline features. It was shaped by real questions, real feedback, and a simple challenge we kept returning to:

Can we make this easier and more reliable for people exploring Web3 every day?

Looking back, we don’t just see a list of updates.

We see a product that became more confident, more intentional, and more focused on what actually matters.

Here is how ONTO evolved over the last 12 months.

Building a Web3 Discovery Wallet Through Listening

As Web3 expanded, a few questions kept surfacing clearly and consistently:

• There are too many chains. How do I keep up?
• How do I know this transaction is safe?
• Why does something simple feel so complicated?

Growth brought complexity, and complexity increased the risk of mistakes.

Those concerns became our north star.

Our goal wasn’t to add more.

It was to make discovery clearer, decisions safer, and everyday actions more understandable.

Security That Works in the Background

Security isn’t something you should have to think about constantly, but you should feel it’s there.

Over the past year, we focused on strengthening the foundations that help you explore Web3 with confidence:

• Clearer approval risk detection, designed to be visible and understandable
• Batch revoke, turning approval management into a simple, everyday action
• Improved risk indicators before swaps and lending operations
• Ledger Bluetooth support, bringing cold-storage security into daily use
• Clearer non-EVM signing flows, so you know exactly what you’re approving

These changes aren’t flashy.

They’re intentional, designed to reduce uncertainty and help you move forward with confidence.

Making Multi-Chain Feel Manageable

Web3 fully entered its multi-chain era this year. More chains, more assets, more differences, and more chances for confusion.

To keep that complexity from becoming a burden, we reworked the product experience end-to-end:

• A redesigned home screen that surfaces what matters most
• Faster swaps and bridges, plus a customizable nonce to resolve stuck transactions
• Clearer data at a glance, including price charts and transaction summaries
• Improved yield visibility, with clearer aggregation and APR estimation
• Expanded chain support, including Berachain, Sonic, Sui, TON, Manta Pacific, Plasma, and HyperEVM

The goal was simple:

You shouldn’t feel the weight of the technology. You should just feel that ONTO works.

A Growing Ecosystem to Explore

We expanded ONTO’s ecosystem not to fill a logo wall, but to unlock real experiences directly inside the wallet.

Over the year, this included:

• Digital identity integrations, such as Human Passport
• Cross-chain and CeDeFi access, with partners like OpenOcean, SimpleSwap, Ston.FI, and TonStaker
• Deeper ecosystem collaboration, including work across XLayer and the TON ecosystem
• Expanded stablecoin support, including USDR, EURR, USDQ, and EURQ

Each addition was guided by the same question:

Does this make discovery more useful and more understandable?

Community at the Centre

ONTO is built by a team, but it grows through the people who use it.

This year:

• ONTO users came from 170+ countries
• We saw 50,000+ monthly active users
• We hosted 10+ community events, from challenges to educational AMAs

The questions, feedback, and conversations in our communities continue to shape how ONTO evolves. They help us see where clarity is missing and where it matters most.
