EOS Rebrands to Vaulta, Pivoting to Web3 Banking

The shift involves a token exchange and the establishment of a banking advisory committee.

Key points:

• EOS Network is transitioning to Vaulta to focus on Web3 banking.
• A new banking advisory group, including financial and blockchain specialists, will be introduced.
• A token exchange is expected by late May 2025, subject to final approval.

EOS Network, recognized for its scalable blockchain technology, is rebranding as Vaulta to shift its focus toward Web3 banking. The transition includes a token swap, tentatively set for late May.

As part of the move, Vaulta is launching a Banking Advisory Council, bringing together financial and blockchain experts to connect traditional banking with decentralized finance. The council features executives from Systemic Trust, Tetra, and ATB Financial, according to a press release.

"Vaulta's shift toward Web3 banking marks a major milestone for the industry," said Alexander Nelson, senior director of digital finance at ATB Financial. "This transition not only facilitates traditional funds entering decentralized finance via Bitcoin but also fosters broader institutional adoption."

Vaulta will retain the EOS Network’s technical foundation, including its smart contract framework, decentralized database, and cross-chain connectivity. As part of its Web3 banking push, it will integrate with exSat, a Bitcoin-centric digital banking platform.

According to the announcement, Vaulta is expanding its Web3 banking ecosystem through partnerships with Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance, with more strategic alliances expected in the coming months.

“This transformation is more than a rebrand—it’s a bold step toward providing open and accessible financial services for all,” said Yves La Rose, founder and CEO of the Vaulta Foundation. “Vaulta is the result of years of planning, strategic growth, and deliberate design, culminating in a comprehensive Web3 banking solution.”

Vaulta’s Web3 banking strategy has two main components: blockchain-powered services tailored for banks and neobanks, and a broader financial ecosystem encompassing exSat’s Bitcoin banking solutions, blockchain insurance, and tokenized real-world assets.

The network has operated without interruption for nearly seven years, highlighting its stability, La Rose added. Improvements in speed, security, and interoperability position Vaulta for mainstream adoption.

The rebrand comes as global regulatory frameworks, such as the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), bring more clarity to digital asset regulations. La Rose noted that these developments make now the “right moment” to align Vaulta’s identity with its Web3 banking ambitions.
