January 14, 2026 – Changelly and ONTO Wallet, two established Web3 leaders, have partnered to bring cross-chain swaps directly into the wallet experience. By combining ONTO Wallet’s multi-chain, self-custodial environment with Changelly’s exchange infrastructure, users can now swap assets inside the wallet without altering how custody or security is managed.
The integration is now live globally, alongside a launch campaign running from January 19 to January 29, 2025 (08:00 UTC), offering 5,400 USDT in total rewards to ONTO users who trade via Changelly.
Swaps and cross-chain transfers, now native to ONTO Wallet
With the new integration, ONTO Wallet users can swap and bridge digital assets directly inside the wallet, without redirecting to external exchanges or third-party apps.
The swap functionality supports more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies across 185 blockchains, giving users access to a wide range of assets and networks from a single interface. Transactions are executed from within the wallet, while users retain full control over their funds, in line with ONTO Wallet’s self-custodial design.
The goal of the integration is practical: reduce the steps required to move assets across chains and make everyday swaps easier to complete inside the wallet environment.
The launch campaign: How ONTO users can win 5,400 USDT
To support the rollout, ONTO Wallet and Changelly are introducing a trading campaign designed to reward both active traders and everyday users exploring the new in-wallet swap functionality.
Running from January 19 (08:00 UTC) to January 29, 2025, the campaign features a total reward pool of 5,400 USDT for users who complete swaps or bridge transactions via Changelly inside the ONTO Multi-Chain Wallet.
How to participate
Users have two options for participating in the campaign:
Trading competition (5,000 USDT)
Users are ranked by total trading volume during the campaign period. The top 10 participants, as calculated by Decentralized Identity (DID), will share a 5,000 USDT reward pool, distributed proportionally based on their trading activity.
Lucky draw (400 USDT)
Users who reach a minimum trading volume of 100 USDT automatically qualify for the lucky draw. At the end of the campaign, 20 participants will be selected to receive 20 USDT each.
Trading volumes are aggregated by DID, meaning users operating multiple wallet addresses under the same identity are counted as a single participant. Rewards will be calculated and distributed automatically after the campaign ends, with the final results announced within three business days.
Full campaign mechanics and eligibility details are available on ONTO’s official website.
A shared focus on practical Web3 tools
For both teams, this partnership reflects a shared view of how Web3 products should evolve: by integrating reliable infrastructure into tools that users already rely on, rather than introducing new layers of complexity.
“Most users don’t want to jump between platforms just to move assets. This integration is about reducing those steps and letting swaps happen where users already manage their crypto: inside their wallet, on their own terms.” — John Khandjian, Chief Growth Officer at Changelly.
“This integration is about making everyday Web3 actions simpler without changing how users manage control. By bringing cross-chain swaps directly into the wallet, we’re reducing friction while keeping self-custody and security exactly where they belong: with the user.” — Geoff Richards, Chief Communications Officer, ONTO Wallet.
By combining ONTO Wallet’s multi-chain wallet environment with Changelly’s exchange infrastructure, the collaboration aims to make swaps and cross-chain transfers a natural part of everyday wallet use, without changing how users manage custody or security.
