EOS to Complete Rebrand to Vaulta with Token Swap on May 14

In a move that marks the culmination of a multi-year transition, EOS will officially rebrand to Vaulta on May 14, 2025. The rebrand includes the launch of a 1:1 token swap, replacing $EOS with $A as the network’s native utility token. Vaulta Foundation announced that the swap will be accessible via the Vaulta Swap Portal, hosted on Unicove, with no fees or slippage involved.

From EOS to Vaulta

Vaulta Foundation CEO Yves La Rose shared insights into the strategic shift during the Blockworks Digital Asset Summit 2025. He emphasized that the rebrand reflects Vaulta’s ambition to pioneer Web3 banking. “This transformation represents more than just a name change; it’s a decisive step forward in our mission to deliver open, accessible financial access for everyone,” La Rose stated.

The rebrand, first announced in March 2025, aims to evolve EOS’s decentralized infrastructure into a robust Web3 banking platform. Vaulta’s mission focuses on integrating decentralized finance with traditional financial systems to create a secure, scalable, and inclusive ecosystem.

Key Milestones Leading to the Rebrand

The rebrand will officially activate on May 14 through a block producer multi-signature (MSIG) proposal. This proposal sets the Vaulta token contract live and establishes $A as the network’s official ticker.

Timeline Overview:

• May 7 — MSIG proposed: Vaulta token contract and $A ticker revealed
• May 14 — MSIG execution: Vaulta Swap Portal goes live
• Mid–Late May — Exchanges begin listing $A and delisting $EOS
• May 29 — Vaulta Foundation CEO Yves La Rose to speak at Bitcoin 2025

The swap process allows $EOS holders to convert their tokens 1:1 into $A through the Vaulta Swap Portal. The swap is bi-directional for the first four months, enabling users to switch back and forth between $EOS and $A. After this period, only $EOS to $A swaps will be supported.

How the Token Swap Works

The Vaulta Swap Portal, the only official platform recommended by the Vaulta Foundation, will facilitate the swap. The process is designed to be straightforward:

• 1:1 exchange rate: One $EOS equals one $A
• No fees or slippage: The swap is cost-free
• Direct interaction available: Advanced users can use core.vaulta for direct on-chain swaps

For security, users are urged to avoid unofficial platforms and phishing attempts. Vaulta Foundation has confirmed that there are no airdrops or incentives tied to the swap. Any claims suggesting otherwise are scams.

What Changes and What Stays the Same

The rebrand to Vaulta introduces several changes while retaining core functionalities:

What’s New:

• Network identity: Vaulta
• Token symbol: $A
• Token contract: core.vaulta

What Remains the Same:

• Wallets, accounts, and contracts: Unchanged and fully functional
• Tokenomics: Supply, allocation, and vesting schedules remain intact
• Infrastructure and developer tools: Fully supported
• Network structure: The existing EOS mainnet will become the Vaulta mainnet, with all state history preserved

Vaulta is a brand evolution, not a hard fork or reset. All existing smart contracts and decentralized applications will continue to function seamlessly.

Strategic Vision: Web3 Banking and Beyond

The rebrand marks Vaulta’s push toward becoming a leader in Web3 banking. Vaulta will leverage strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance Inc. These collaborations will drive Vaulta’s “Four Pillars”: Wealth Management, Consumer Payments, Portfolio Management, and Insurance.

Vaulta’s architecture will continue to support exSat, a Bitcoin digital banking solution. This integration will transform Bitcoin into the backbone of Vaulta’s decentralized financial ecosystem.

Yves La Rose will further outline this vision at Bitcoin 2025, where he is scheduled to present on May 29.

What It Means for You [NFA]

For $EOS holders, the upcoming Vaulta rebrand is an opportunity to seamlessly transition to $A without losing value or paying fees. With no technical changes or migration, your existing assets will carry over to Vaulta. If you wish to access Vaulta’s expanding ecosystem, the swap ensures you remain integrated.

As always, perform your due diligence and swap only through the official Vaulta Swap Portal. Not financial advice.

Community Reaction

Apart from a few questions that the community members pushed in the comments (what was good to see was that Vaulta had already answered them on their website), the community seemed decently pleased with the news and looked forward to the swap.

• Alonzo.eth: “I love me some $A“
• TMC: “We are in advanced tech age, just make the exchanges make the update.”
• Jeremy Robinson: “Overall, I like it. Guessing it will show up first in lists which, would be good for brand recognition! Keep Building Everyone”
