SINCE DEC 26, 2020
From ZaKai to Vaultquest
Same operator since 2020. New name, new product. We kept the community and replaced the manual email-for-code funnel with a verified ledger, link rotation, and transparent rules.
ZaKai starts — Free Steam Wallet Codes
YouTube channel @zakai1769 and Facebook Page Freesteamcodes21 go live (Dec 26, 2020). Early site at freesteamcodes21.weebly.com connected the community to partner offers — manual fulfillment, limited scale, and ready for a proper product.
Evidence: YouTube About → Joined 2020 · Facebook Page → 67 followers · Weebly archived as continuity proof (no longer the primary flow).
Community & learning
Community stayed active on YouTube + Facebook while studying what makes rewards hubs last. Research across Gamesbolt, Earnit, and Freecash pointed to the same upgrades: own the site, own the ledger, rotate partners, and verify every reward.
Evidence: video https://youtu.be/sOQWHaHeCkg — early free-Steam explainer (pre-rebrand). Keep as historical artifact, not current claim.
Vaultquest rebuild
Full rebrand to Vaultquest. Next.js 16 + Vault Points ledger (PENDING → POSTED with verification holds), affiliate link rotation/failover, S2S postbacks, and a clear promise: Complete quests, build Vault points, unlock Steam credit & keys — or enter fair giveaways. No generators. No Steam password asks.
Live: vaultquest.io · YouTube rebrand in progress (@zakai1769 → Vaultquest, handle kept until @vaultquest free) · Facebook Page migrating to Vaultquest Community.
What we kept from 2020
- Affiliate-funded rewards — you complete real tasks, partners pay, we fund the vault
- YouTube as primary discovery (Freecash-style funnels → vaultquest.io first)
- Facebook community for giveaways / updates
- Same operator — continuity screenshots available for partner review

Legacy video — historical context
This is the pre-rebrand explainer you linked. We embed via youtube-nocookie so it doesn't set tracking cookies until played. Language reflects 2020; current promise is at Proof & Rules.
For partner applications: provide a screenshot of YouTube Studio → Customization → Basic Info showing Joined 2020 + this video's publish date alongside the channel link — that's the strongest age proof (scraping YT is blocked for bots).
