Vaulta Price

What Is Vaulta?

Vaulta is the new name for EOS, a layer 1 blockchain that has run since June 2018. In May 2025, the network rebranded and holders began swapping EOS tokens for the new A token at a 1-to-1 rate, so readers searching for EOS today are looking at Vaulta. The chain, accounts and apps carried over unchanged.

Block.one, a company led by CEO Brendan Blumer with Dan Larimer as chief technology officer, built the EOS software. It sold tokens in a year-long sale from June 2017 to June 2018 that raised about $4.1 billion, according to CoinDesk. In 2021, token holders and block producers formed the EOS Network Foundation, led by Yves La Rose, to take over development from Block.one.

That group now operates as the Vaulta Foundation. Vaulta describes itself as an operating system for "Web3 banking," meaning blockchain tools for payments, wealth management and tokenized assets.

How Vaulta Works

Vaulta uses delegated proof of stake. Holders who stake A vote for block producers, the operators who confirm transactions, and the top 21 vote-getters take turns producing blocks. A September 2024 upgrade called Spring 1.0 brought a new consensus method, Savanna, which cut finality to about one second, the point at which a transaction can't be reversed.

Vaulta doesn't charge a simple per-transaction fee the way most chains do. Accounts need RAM to store data, bought on an on-chain market, plus CPU time and bandwidth, which users rent with A.

Supply is capped at 2.1 billion A. In May 2024, at least 15 of the 21 block producers approved a proposal that cut the ceiling from 10 billion. Token data on the chain shows the full 2.1 billion already issued, with tokens not yet circulating held in reserve. According to Vaulta's tokenomics page, staking rewards come from a set pool that halves every four years instead of from new inflation, and staked A has a 21-day unstaking period.

What People Use It For

Vaulta's main uses today:

• Staking A for rewards paid from the network's staking pool, with a 21-day lockup when you unstake
• Voting for the 21 block producers that run the chain
• Buying RAM and renting CPU and bandwidth to run accounts and apps
• Using exSat, a Bitcoin-focused network that Vaulta counts as part of its banking plan
• Swapping leftover EOS for A through Vaulta's official portal

Vaulta announced its banking strategy in March 2025 alongside an advisory council and outside partners, CoinDesk reported. Many of those banking products depend on partner firms, so confirm a product is live before you rely on it.

Risks To Know

EOS has a regulatory record. Block.one paid a $24 million penalty in September 2019 to settle SEC charges that its token sale was an unregistered securities offering, without admitting or denying the findings. Our crypto fines and penalties tracker lists the case.

Governance has been turbulent. In December 2021, block producers halted 67 million EOS in vesting payments to Block.one. La Rose announced in November 2025 that he was stepping down as Vaulta Foundation CEO, starting an on-chain election for a successor. As of Nov. 8, 2026, we found no announcement on Vaulta's website naming a new CEO, so check Vaulta's own channels for who leads the foundation now.

Only 21 producers run the chain, and large stakers carry the most voting weight. Coinbase delisted EOS and doesn't list A. World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture linked to President Trump's family, bought $6 million of A in May 2025 under a partnership, tying part of Vaulta's plans to a politically connected project.

How To Buy Vaulta

A has limited US availability. Kraken lists an A/USD pair, though it doesn't serve New York or Maine. Binance.US offers an A/USDT pair only, and the Crypto.com Exchange lists A/USD. Coinbase, Gemini and Bitstamp don't list A. OKX lists A on its global exchange, but check whether OKX's US platform offers it. International buyers can also use KuCoin, MEXC and Gate.

Vaulta And Your Taxes

The IRS treats A as property, so selling or trading it creates a capital gain or loss. Staking rewards count as ordinary income at their fair market value when you gain control of them, under Revenue Ruling 2023-14. The IRS hasn't issued guidance specific to a rebrand swap like EOS to A, so keep records of what you paid for your original EOS. Our breakdown of crypto tax rates covers the rules. No US spot Vaulta ETF exists.

FAQ

Is Vaulta A Good Investment?

That depends on your goals and risk tolerance. Vaulta has a fixed 2.1 billion supply, fast finality and staking rewards that don't rely on new inflation. Against that, the project's founding company settled SEC charges, its foundation's longtime CEO resigned in late 2025, Coinbase delisted the token and US exchange options are limited. Weigh those points and size any position to what you can afford to lose.

What Happened To EOS?

EOS rebranded as Vaulta in 2025, and holders began swapping EOS for the new A token at a 1-to-1 rate in May 2025. Exchanges that supported the change converted balances automatically. Kraken credited A after closing its EOS markets in July 2025. People holding EOS in their own wallets can still swap through Vaulta's official portal.

What Is The Max Supply Of Vaulta?

Vaulta's max supply is 2.1 billion A. Block producers approved that cap in May 2024, down from a 10 billion ceiling, and the token's on-chain records show the full 2.1 billion already issued. Unreleased tokens sit in reserves, and staking rewards come from a pool that halves every four years.

Who Created Vaulta?

Block.one created EOS, with Brendan Blumer as CEO and Dan Larimer as chief technology officer, and launched the mainnet in June 2018. Token holders and block producers formed the EOS Network Foundation in 2021 to take over from Block.one. That foundation, led by Yves La Rose until late 2025, rebranded the network as Vaulta.

Can I Buy Vaulta In An IRA?

Not in a standard brokerage IRA, because no US spot Vaulta or EOS ETF exists. Some self-directed crypto IRA providers let you hold individual coins, so check whether A is on a provider's list before you open an account, and compare fees. Our list of crypto IRA providers covers the options.

Where Can I Buy Vaulta In The US?

Kraken, Binance.US and the Crypto.com Exchange list A for US customers. Kraken offers an A/USD pair but doesn't serve New York or Maine, and Binance.US offers an A/USDT pair only. Coinbase delisted EOS and doesn't list A. Compare costs in the table on this page and our ranking of the best crypto exchanges.
