Vaulta (A): EOS Rebrands to a High-Performance Web3 Banking Blockchain

As the blockchain ecosystem evolves, scalability and performance are becoming key differentiators. Vaulta (A) is the EOS Network rebrand, positioned around Web3 banking and decentralised finance use cases.

The EOS-to-A token swap began on May 14, 2025. Vaulta describes the network as capable of high throughput and about 1 second transaction finality, depending on network conditions. This blog explores the Vaulta blockchain’s core features, EOS token migration, and how it plans to support the next generation of decentralized applications. 

Vaulta is a Layer 1 blockchain that supports EVM compatibility via Vaulta EVM and is designed for high-throughput, low-latency transactions. Leveraging the Antelope protocol, which also powered EOS, Vaulta has been optimized for greater scalability, positioned to handle high throughput while using a delegated proof-of-stake style block producer model. With a focus on performance, Vaulta supports a diverse range of use cases, including decentralised finance, digital collectibles, and gaming use cases. By offering fast transaction speeds and reduced costs, Vaulta aims to provide a robust infrastructure for developers to build next-generation applications that require real-time interactions and seamless user experiences.

Vaulta introduces several performance-oriented improvements compared to earlier Layer 1 chains. These include:

• Vaulta delivers a key combination of speed, scalability, and developer incentives.
• 10,000 TPS throughput supports global-scale applications.
• ~1 second transaction finality is positioned as supporting payment and real-time application workflows.
• Low transaction costs make it ideal for micropayments and remittances.
• Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility allows easy migration of dApps.
• Developer funding initiatives: Vaulta has discussed programmes to support builders and ecosystem projects (details depend on the specific programme and announcement).

These features make Vaulta well-suited for sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT platforms, gaming, and Web3 financial services. 

Vaulta uses a delegated proof-of-stake style model where token holders can vote for block producers. Governance and upgrade coordination depends on how the ecosystem manages proposals and implementation. As a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) blockchain, Vaulta allows token holders to:

• Vote for Block Producers: Elect validators responsible for securing the network and producing blocks.
• Propose and vote on ecosystem improvement proposals: Influence protocol upgrades, funding initiatives, and ecosystem grants.
• Join Community Working Groups: Collaborate on technical developments, marketing strategies, and other initiatives.
• Participate in governance discussions: Engage in community channels where proposals and changes may be discussed.

This governance structure helps ensure that Vaulta remains transparent, accountable, and aligned with the interests of its users and developers. By fostering community ownership and involvement, Vaulta aims to create a collaborative ecosystem where stakeholders have a direct impact on the platform's direction and growth.

The transition from EOS to Vaulta represented both a rebrand and a strategic pivot toward Web3 banking and decentralized financial infrastructure. The rebrand was announced in March 2025, and the EOS-to-A token swap began on May 14, 2025. On Ndax, EOS balances were automatically swapped 1:1 to Vaulta (A). Vaulta (A) is available to trade on Ndax; deposit and withdrawal availability is shown in the Ndax wallet interface and asset page.

With its rebrand and token swap, Vaulta (A) represents EOS’s shift in positioning toward Web3 banking use cases. By migrating from EOS and positioning around higher throughput targets, governance via block producers, and ecosystem support initiatives, Vaulta is aiming to position itself as a leading infrastructure layer for the future of decentralized finance and Web3 banking. Vaulta’s future development will depend on adoption, developer activity, network reliability, governance, and broader market conditions. Its roadmap focuses on scalability and financial or application-based use cases.
