Vultisig Launches Plugin Marketplace for OnChain Automation

Background and Context

Vultisig built the Plugin Marketplace as part of a broader push to make self-custody both safer and more functional for everyday crypto users. The team behind Vultisig includes builders associated with THORChain, and Vultisig gained traction after launching a seedless, multi-device wallet in 2025. That wallet uses threshold signature schemes (TSS), which removes the single point of failure that typically exists in seed phrase wallets.

In addition, Vultisig introduced the $VULT token in October 2025 at a low fully diluted valuation, while expanding integrations for cross-chain swaps and DeFi tools. These steps laid the groundwork for more advanced automation. Roadmaps published in late 2025 already highlighted the marketplace as a major milestone, especially because the goal was to solve a long-standing trade-off in crypto: automation usually requires either centralized trust or dangerous key exposure.

Until now, most recurring purchase tools and automation bots have come with security compromises. Centralized exchanges offer recurring buys but require custody. Meanwhile, automation bots often demand full key access or persistent approvals that can expose users to unnecessary risk. Therefore, Vultisig is targeting a gap in the market by offering automation that keeps users fully self-custodial.

How the Marketplace Works

The Plugin Marketplace uses threshold signatures to maintain security during automation. Users install plugins that operate under predefined conditions. At the same time, the system assigns signing authority across multiple parties so that no single component can execute transactions alone.

In practice, the marketplace distributes control through shared signing. A plugin holds one share of the signing process, while a dedicated verifier system holds another share. As a result, a transaction only executes if the proposal matches user-defined rules and the verifier confirms compliance. This structure supports a proposed and verified workflow, which aims to prevent unauthorized or out-of-scope execution.

At launch, Vultisig introduced automation options such as Recurring Swaps for DCA and Recurring Sends for payroll-style transfers. The marketplace supports major ecosystems alongside broader multi-chain coverage. 

Future Implications for Vultisig Plugin Marketplace

Vultisig designed the marketplace as an open builder platform, which allows developers to create automation plugins for a range of strategies. For example, builders can develop yield automation, limit order execution, treasury management tools, cross-chain strategies, and AI-assisted automation.

In parallel, Vultisig introduced a fee distribution model intended to grow participation and reward contribution. The system allocates 70% of fees to builders and directs 30% of fees to $VULT holders. Consequently, adoption could strengthen both the plugin ecosystem and the token’s utility narrative if activity scales over time.

From a broader DeFi standpoint, this launch supports the shift toward replacing custodial automation with cryptographically enforced self-custodial automation. If the marketplace proves reliable at scale, it could reduce dependence on centralized execution services and lower the attack surface created by risky permissions and compromised keys.
