Once dubbed the Ethereum Killer
2. The opportunities of #Vaulta to rise above
Vaulta, with its strategy of transitioning from EOS to a Web3 bank, possesses several potential advantages to compete with and surpass Ethereum:
a. Vision for a Web3 bank
Vaulta is not just an ordinary layer-1 blockchain but aims to integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional finance (TradFi). With four main pillars (asset management, retail payments, investment, insurance), Vaulta targets a broader market than Ethereum, which primarily focuses on DeFi and dApp.
The collaboration with major organizations such as Ceffu, Blockchain Insurance, and Spirit Blockchain indicates that Vaulta is building a reliable ecosystem, capable of attracting both institutional and individual investors – something that Ethereum has not performed well in the context of negative market sentiment.
b. Superior technical performance
Vaulta inherits the EOSIO platform with fast transaction speeds (1 second) and EVM compatibility, allowing it to compete directly with Ethereum on performance. While Ethereum continues to struggle with high gas fees and slow processing speeds (despite The Merge and sharding), Vaulta could attract dApp developers seeking faster, cheaper solutions.
The integration of exSat (smart contracts on Bitcoin) is also a differentiating factor, extending Vaulta's interoperability far beyond that of Ethereum.
c. Community and token strategy
The process of swapping EOS tokens to Vaulta (1:1, expected on 20/05/2025) could stimulate buying demand from investors, especially if Vaulta announces additional staking features or attractive yields (previously EOS proposed an APY of 17%). This creates short-term price momentum, while Ethereum is facing selling pressure from whales (640,000 ETH have been recently liquidated).
The involvement of the banking advisory board (including experts from Systemic Trust, Tetra, ATB Financial) provides higher reliability compared to Ethereum's sometimes inconsistent decentralized governance model.
d. Niche market and timing
As Ethereum weakens, investors tend to seek an "altcoin season" – a period when alternative coins experience strong growth. Vaulta, with its new direction and Web3 banking narrative, could become a focal point, especially if the market recovers by the end of 2025.
