In a historic move, the EOS Network has announced that it is rebranding as Vaulta, and aims to lead the charge into the Web3 banking revolution. This announcement was published on March 18, 2025, and reflects the project’s vision of creating a more accessible and equitable area, bridging traditional banking and decentralized finance (DeFi).
What is Vaulta?
Vaulta is not simply a rebranding but a reimagining of financial systems. Vaulta will leverage the robust technical infrastructure and continued facilities of the EOS Network while focusing on four core pillars bringing value to institutions and consumers.
- Wealth Management: Vaulta will offer secure, decentralized solutions for building and preserving wealth.
- Portfolio Investment: Vaulta will enable them to make diversified, blockchain-based investments.
- Consumer Payments: Offering the ability to transact instantaneously and at a low cost anywhere in the world.
- Insurance: Integrating decentralized insurance protocols for enhanced security.
Why the Change to Web3 Banking?
Vaulta represents an evolution of its previous vision of creating a secure, scalable, and inclusive financial ecosystem that can integrate into existing banking systems and provide benefits to its users. According to Yves La Rose, founder and CEO of the Vaulta Foundation, “This is more than a name change—it’s a decisive step toward open, accessible financial access for everyone.”
To facilitate this, Vaulta will create the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council composed of leaders from traditional finance as well as blockchain. This council will be an advisory force to create the completion of decentralized systems with banking systems, and to bring users, and institutions, on board in a seamless manner.
Technical Continuity and Innovations
Vaulta will retain the EOS Network’s proven infrastructure, including:
- Smart Contract Architecture: Ensuring secure, automated transactions.
- Bitcoin Gateway via exSat Network: Strengthening Bitcoin’s role as the foundation of decentralized finance.
- Inter-Blockchain Connectivity: Facilitating seamless asset transfers across networks.
A Real-World Use Case
Picture a small business owner in Nigeria using Vaulta’s Consumer Payments pillar to instantly and directly receive payment from a client in the U.S., eliminating banks and their traditional fees and delays. At the same time, they could leverage Vaulta’s Wealth Management components to grow the earnings from their business with decentralized investment. This is the world Vaulta is building—a world where finance is borderless, inclusive, and efficient.
Strategic Partnerships and Token Swap
Last but not least, Vaulta has forged partnerships with top industry names, including Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance Inc., to grow and innovate its Web3 banking ecosystem. A token swap is also planned for late May 2025 to facilitate the transfer of EOS tokens to Vaulta tokens. This change will enhance the platform’s functioning and align its economy with its very new vision.
Conclusion
The new brand name of EOS is Vaulta which operates as a bold step toward the future of finance. The combination of the safety of established banking with the innovation of blockchain technology will pave the way for Vaulta to lead the Web3 banking ecosystem.
Vaulta’s vision of finance being open, accessible, and decentralized could change expectations regarding money interactions.
