Vaulta

Vaulta (A) is the native token of the Vaulta blockchain, replacing the EOS token following a 1:1 migration that began on 14 May 2025. The A token is used across both Vaulta Native and Vaulta EVM environments and serves as the central utility for transaction processing, governance participation, and resource management within the network.

Functions of Vaulta (A)

1. Transaction Fees A tokens are required to execute smart contracts, perform transfers, and interact with decentralised applications. Fees may be abstracted or subsidised by developers in some cases, particularly on the Vaulta Native layer.

2. Staking and Governance Vaulta uses a DPoS system where token holders can stake A tokens and vote for Block Producers. These producers validate transactions and maintain network security. Staked tokens earn a portion of network rewards, which are distributed through the REX 2.0 system. - Staking requires a lock-up period (recently extended to 21 days). - Voters can allocate their stake to up to 30 Block Producer candidates. - Governance decisions include protocol upgrades and funding proposals.

3. Access to Network Resources The Vaulta network uses a resource model based on staking:

• CPU/NET bandwidth is used to process transactions.
• RAM is required for data storage and smart contract deployment. Users stake A tokens to access these resources or participate in the secondary RAM market.

4. Cross-Chain Interoperability Vaulta tokens can be wrapped and bridged to other blockchains like Ethereum. This allows participation in applications outside the Vaulta network and supports cross-chain liquidity and utility.

5. Ecosystem Incentives and Development A portion of the fixed supply is allocated to network growth and infrastructure. These include:

• Middleware development: To improve the app-building experience.
• RAM liquidity support: For stable operation of decentralised storage.
• Vaulta Foundation and Vaulta Labs: To support grants, innovation, and public infrastructure.
• Block Producer rewards: To compensate validators according to their uptime and vote share.

The token operates under a fixed supply cap of 2.1 billion A tokens, replacing the former inflationary model used by EOS. Rewards for staking and block production are distributed from existing allocations, with no ongoing inflation. Token emissions follow a halving cycle every four years to gradually reduce reward rates over time.

Vaulta was initiated by the Vaulta Foundation, which emerged from the EOS community and ecosystem. The foundation coordinates core protocol development, resource allocation, ecosystem funding, and community governance.

While Vaulta reuses the technical base of the EOSIO software, its leadership and roadmap diverged from EOS following the token migration. The rebrand was accompanied by structural updates to governance, consensus (Savanna), and economic policy (fixed supply model). The Vaulta Foundation collaborates with Vaulta Labs and other independent stakeholders to maintain network services, infrastructure, and community tools.

Technical decision-making is decentralised, with token holders determining key network changes via on-chain governance. Network upgrades and funding proposals are voted on by the community through the DPoS mechanism.
