Vaulta is a scalable operating system that provides fast, low-cost transactions and seamless blockchain connectivity for Web3 Banking. Today, it announced a strategic partnership with Ultra, a one-stop destination for gamers, publishers, and developers.
This financial and technical alliance positions Ultra as the gaming division of Vaulta and marks the next phase of Ultra's ambition to lead in the gaming domain.
Vaulta and Ultra will join forces to accelerate the creation of a comprehensive service platform that allows digital assets to be tokenized, traded, and monetized across games, all supported by a fast, low-cost, and interoperable infrastructure. In addition to tokenized assets, the platform will also support decentralized markets, cross-game integrations, and metaverse banking.
Ultra's CEO, Gus van Rijckevorsel, shared: "By 2030, the Web3 gaming market is expected to grow to $615 billion, outpacing both the movie and television industries, signifying a major shift in consumer entertainment. To harness this potential, the gaming industry needs better infrastructure for publishers, developers, and players, and we are committed to achieving this. We are focused on creating the necessary content and structural partnerships to make Ultra a recognized gaming platform. Vaulta is a crucial cornerstone on this path, and this collaboration is a solid foundation for building our future in gaming and finance. The core of this enduring partnership is a mutual recognition of long-term benefits."
Yves La Rose, founder and CEO of the Vaulta Foundation, stated: "This collaboration will help Vaulta fulfill its mission to drive innovation in tokenization and integration of real-world assets. Ultra's advanced gaming platform combined with Vaulta's financial and DeFi infrastructure will enable decentralized markets, cross-game asset utilization, and metaverse banking solutions. Positioning Ultra as Vaulta's gaming hub opens the door to gaming and GameFi opportunities for our community. The core of our cooperation is a shared vision to elevate digital assets to the standards of traditional finance, providing users with new financial opportunities driven by Web3."
The new definition of a modern gamer
The era of 'gamer' simply meaning someone holding a controller is long gone. Ultra recognizes three types of gamers: players, spectators, and content creators, each with their unique behaviors, needs, and expectations. Ultra, in collaboration with Vaulta, is building the critical infrastructure to adapt to this new reality and serve these three gamer groups.
Every industry has its own supply chain
The financial domain has Vaulta, and the gaming domain has Ultra. Both chains are specially built and interoperable, closely matching the needs of their respective audiences. Ultra is not just retrofitting generic technology but building from scratch the pillars of the gaming industry.
UOS will become the currency of gaming
Ultra is committed to establishing $UOS as the default currency for in-game transactions, rewards, and monetization across games, platforms, and services. Just as the dollar dominates oil, $UOS will define the value in gaming.
Access to and consumption of games will change
Just as Netflix revolutionized movies and Spotify changed music, Ultra foresees a transformation in how people access and engage with games. Gamers deserve immersive platforms. Developers crave tools and reach. Publishers need data and performance. Ultra is building a complete ecosystem that puts all these first.
Cryptocurrencies must adopt the same standards as traditional finance
This is why Ultra only collaborates with blockchains like Vaulta, which hold cryptocurrencies to the same expectations as fiat money: prioritizing trust, utility, and transparency. True utility requires real accountability.
Artificial Intelligence will open a new chapter in personalized gaming
AI is not just a feature but a fundamental shift in how players experience games. That's why Ultra deeply embeds AI into its ecosystem to achieve three major goals: high personalization, real-time game guidance, and intelligent ecosystem interaction. Players can not only play but also receive guidance, support, and understanding.
Building the infrastructure for a new era
As co-leaders in blockchain innovation, this collaboration fundamentally guides the common goal of serving the future of gaming, combining Vaulta's financial tracks with Ultra's user-first infrastructure.
This collaboration aims to thoroughly upgrade the outdated pillars of the gaming industry, providing developers and publishers with ultra-fast transactions, scalable gaming experiences, higher security, and new tools.
Ultra serves three core customers—gamers, developers, and publishers—and everything it builds is designed to meet their needs. Ultra is constructing a complete ecosystem that puts them first. This collaboration will further enhance this mission through more powerful tools, smarter systems, and better outcomes.
Details of the technical exchange
This collaboration will provide Ultra with the following services:
Vaulta Spring Framework: Enhances the platform's scalability and security while providing a smoother user experience
Vaulta Banking OS Framework: Offers enhanced transaction speeds and asset management while allowing Ultra's gaming ecosystem to access a multi-chain interoperability (IBC) environment
In exchange, Ultra will provide Vaulta with:
Ultratest: A next-generation smart contract testing framework that allows developers to launch faster and more securely
MSIG Signing Tools: A breakthrough for secure gaming transactions and digital ownership
Predicate System: Reduces fuel costs, making blockchain gaming cheaper and easier to start
HSM Signing Code Hardware: Secure hardware signing for private key management
This collaboration not only reflects a technical exchange but also represents a broader alignment of values between two industry-leading platforms. As blockchain technology deepens its application across various industries, Vaulta and Ultra are pioneering the construction of professional infrastructure needed by large-scale real users. This collaboration will bring new opportunities and standards to the digital entertainment field.
Meanwhile, it supports Vaulta's broader goal of building the next iteration of global finance through real use cases, real infrastructure, and real collaboration, directly working with industry leaders. More partnerships are expected to be established in the coming weeks, aimed at unlocking new use cases, driving innovation, and accelerating its application in the digital economy.
This collaboration follows Vaulta's recent rebranding (previously known as the EOS network) and strategic realignment with Web3 Banking, and closely follows key milestones in Ultra's 2025 roadmap, including a $12 million funding round led by NOIA Capital and the appointment of Maxime van Steenberghe as Ultra's new COO.
