ONTO Steam verification is now live in ONTO Wallet v4.10.0, the most significant Profile update we have made this year. Three features land at once: your Profile is restructured for clarity and control, Steam joins the list of data sources you can verify, and the first joint data campaign with PALZ Game opens with a prize pool of more than $2,000. To celebrate, we are also running a quick $500 launch giveaway on X. All of it lands on a single principle: your data, your wallet, your terms.
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 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.
