The partnership leverages existing technological compatibility between the two organizations. Ultra was originally built on the EOS SDK, the same foundation from which Vaulta has evolved. Vaulta itself represents a rebranding of the EOS blockchain, now focused on delivering banking and financial applications through blockchain infrastructure. This shared technical foundation allows the companies to align their capabilities while exploring new joint opportunities.
Beyond technical integration, the partnership includes financial components, though specific terms remain undisclosed. The agreement positions Ultra as Vaulta's official gaming arm, establishing a clear division of focus between the two platforms.

Vaulta Infrastructure and Interoperability
The partnership grants Ultra access to the Vaulta Spring framework. This integration is designed to enhance the security and scalability of Ultra's blockchain operations. Vaulta's Banking OS will introduce faster transaction processing and more efficient digital asset management. A central component of this upgrade is the IBC multichain interoperability standard, which enables seamless interactions between different blockchain networks.
These technical improvements support Ultra's goal of creating a platform that enables the tokenization, trading, and monetization of digital assets within gaming environments. The partnership will also facilitate decentralized marketplaces and further development of metaverse banking applications.
