Vaulta Rebrands EOS Network for Web3 Banking Shift

EOS Network has announced a significant rebranding to Vaulta, marking a strategic shift towards web3 banking. This transition aims to integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional financial systems, leveraging the robust infrastructure of the EOS Network to offer fast transactions, blockchain connectivity, and decentralized data management. The rebranding includes a token swap scheduled for late May 2025, pending confirmation.

Vaulta's transformation is more than just a name change; it represents a decisive step forward in delivering open and accessible financial services to everyone. The new brand identity positions Vaulta as a scalable operating system for web3 banking, with a focus on four core areas: Wealth Management, Consumer Payments, Portfolio Management, and Insurance. These pillars will enable new financial applications such as blockchain-native yield generation, real-world asset (RWA) investments, and customized insurance solutions.

To bridge the gap between legacy banking and DeFi, Vaulta will establish a Banking Advisory Council comprising experts from both traditional finance and blockchain sectors. The council will provide strategic guidance to help traditional financial institutions integrate blockchain technology into their operations. Members of the council include Lawrence Truong, CEO of Systemic Trust; Didier Lavalle, CEO of Tetra; Alexander Nelson, senior director of digital finance at ATB Financial; and Jonathan Rizzo, senior business solution specialist at ATB Financial.

Vaulta will integrate with exSat, a Bitcoin digital banking solution, to reinforce Bitcoin’s role as the foundation of its decentralized financial ecosystem. The platform’s technological infrastructure, previously developed under EOS, includes C++ smart contract architecture, a decentralized on-chain RAM database, and multi-chain interoperability features. The firm has also announced strategic partnerships with Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance Inc., with additional partnerships expected in the coming months.

Vaulta's strategic shift towards web3 banking is a significant development for the industry. This move not only opens the door for traditional funds to enter DeFi through Bitcoin but also paves the way for greater institutional acceptance. By leveraging the high scalability and low transaction fees of the EOS Network, Vaulta aims to provide a platform that supports a wide range of DeFi applications, creating a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem. The token ticker and swap portal launch remains set for late May, subject to further updates.
