Vaulta’s transition from the EOS network reached a major milestone when the official token swap occurred on May 14, marking the introduction of $A as the network’s new native token. EOS holders were invited to swap their tokens via the Vaulta Swap Portal, hosted on Unicove.
Background and Onboarding Process
A multisignature proposal submitted on May 7 initiated the deployment of the Vaulta token contract and established $A as the official ticker. This multisig was executed on May 14, making the Swap Portal live. In the days that followed, exchanges began listing $A and delisting $EOS, though timelines varied.
Vaulta’s CEO, Yves La Rose, also formally introduced the rebranded network during a presentation at Bitcoin 2025, which took place in late May.
How the Vaulta Swap Works
The swap allowed a 1:1 exchange of EOS for $A, with no fees or slippage.
Token holders could perform exchanges through the Swap Portal or participating exchanges.
Advanced users had the option to swap directly on-chain by sending EOS to the core.vaulta account.
Emphasis was placed on using only the official Vaulta Swap Portal to avoid phishing threats. The Vaulta Foundation clarified that no incentives or airdrops were being offered in connection with the swap.
Vaulta: What Changed—and What Didn’t
New elements introduced:
- Network name: Vaulta
- Token ticker: $A
- Token contract account: core.vaulta
What remained intact:
- Wallets, accounts, and existing smart contracts continued functioning without disruption.
- Tokenomics—including total supply, allocation, and vesting schedule—remained unchanged.
- The underlying infrastructure and developer tools required no upgrades.
- The network maintained its original Antelope core technology and complete state history.
- Vaulta was emphasized as an evolution rather than a fork or reset, ensuring seamless continuity for users and developers.
FAQs (Summary)
- The swap began on May 14 and was paired with a four-month dual-swap period allowing conversions in both directions.
- After this phase, the Swap Portal would only support EOS-to-A conversions.
- Users were not required to swap immediately, but early action was encouraged to maintain full access across apps and exchanges.
- Staked EOS remained staked, with the resulting unstaked assets converting to $A when unstaked.
- The Vaulta Foundation underscored that no swap fees applied and no direct tokenomics changes accompanied the transition.
- All audits for the new contracts had been completed by Certik and Sentnl, ensuring network integrity.
In Summary
Vaulta’s transition represents a strategic rebranding of the EOS network, introducing $A as its native token. The shift preserved token economic structure, infrastructure, and network continuity while aligning with Vaulta’s renewed identity in programmable finance. As the swap period concluded and $A gained traction, the platform remained poised for continued innovation and long-term growth.
