#Vaulta Vaulta: Pioneering the Future of Web3 Banking
In a transformative move, the EOS Network has rebranded as Vaulta, signaling a strategic shift towards integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional banking systems. This rebranding, announced on March 18, 2025, at the Blockworks Digital Asset Summit in New York, aims to position Vaulta at the forefront of Web3 banking.
Bridging Traditional Finance and DeFi
Vaulta's mission is to create a secure, scalable, and inclusive financial ecosystem by leveraging blockchain technology to redefine the banking landscape. The platform plans to offer innovative solutions such as fractional ownership of real-world assets, staking, and Bitcoin yield strategies. By focusing on Web3 banking, Vaulta seeks to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi, providing open and accessible financial services to a global audience.
Token Swap and Market Response
As part of the rebranding, a token swap is scheduled for the end of May 2025. EOS token holders will be able to exchange their tokens for Vaulta tokens on a 1:1 basis through a dedicated portal. This swap will be bi-directional for four months, ensuring a smooth transition for users. The new token will also be listed on nearly 140 exchanges where EOS currently trades. Following the announcement, the EOS token experienced a significant surge, reflecting renewed investor confidence in the network’s future.
Technological Advancements and Strategic Partnerships
Vaulta builds upon the existing EOS infrastructure, enhancing it with features such as one-second transaction finality, C++ smart contract architecture, and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. A notable integration is with exSat, a Bitcoin digital banking solution, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role in Vaulta's decentralized financial ecosystem.
To guide its new direction, Vaulta has established the Banking Advisory Council, comprising experts from both traditional finance and blockchain sectors. Members include executives from Systemic Trust, Tetra, and ATB Financial.
