Vaulta x Ultra: Turning Digital Worlds Into Financial Frontiers
Vaulta’s mission to redefine global finance moves forward through a strategic partnership bringing Web3 Banking into one of the world’s most dynamic digital economies: gaming. This symbiotic partnership supports Ultra’s vision of building the “Netflix of Gaming,” and positions Ultra as Vaulta’s purpose-built gaming hub.
In collaboration with Ultra, a leading blockchain-powered platform for gamers and developers, Vaulta is integrating its Web3 Banking infrastructure into interactive digital economies, where digital ownership, asset liquidity, and payment innovation are already reshaping the way people engage with value.
“This partnership supports Vaulta’s mission to drive innovation in tokenization and real-world asset integration,” said Yves La Rose, founder and CEO of Vaulta Foundation. “Ultra's advanced gaming platform paired with Vaulta's financial and DeFi infrastructure will enable decentralized marketplaces, cross-game asset utilization, and metaverse banking solutions. Positioning Ultra as Vaulta's gaming hub provides a gateway to Gaming and GameFi opportunities to our community. At the heart of our collaboration is a shared ambition to elevate digital assets to the standards of traditional finance, empowering users with new financial opportunities powered by Web3.”
From Game Worlds to Financial Gateways
Together, Vaulta and Ultra will accelerate the creation of a full-service platform where digital assets can be tokenized, traded, and monetized across games, all powered by a fast, low-cost, and interoperable infrastructure. In addition to tokenized assets, this platform will also support decentralized marketplaces, cross-game integrations, and metaverse banking.
Areas of focus include:
Tokenization of in-game assets and NFTs – setting the stage for these items to function as real-world assets (RWAs)
Staking, lending, and yield-bearing financial mechanics – aligned with Vaulta’s wealth management pillar
Decentralized marketplaces and cross-game asset integration
On and off ramps – bridging fiat and crypto ecosystems
Embedded payment solutions and programmable wallets – tied to digital identity
As every industry begins to adopt purpose-built chains, with finance led by Vaulta and gaming by Ultra, this partnership represents a model for aligned and interoperable networks.
Ultra stands as a strategic extension of Vaulta’s mission to deliver open, programmable finance across industries, beginning with gaming, where digital assets already hold cultural and monetary value.
Gus van Rijckevorsel, CEO of Ultra, shared, “By 2030, the Web3 gaming market is expected to grow to $615 billion, outpacing both movies and TV exponentially and signaling a major shift in how consumers engage with their entertainment. To harness this potential, the gaming industry needs better infrastructure designed for publishers, developers, and gamers, and we’re here to deliver that. We’re laser-focused on creating the content and structural partnerships necessary to make Ultra THE gaming platform recognized by the gaming industry. Vaulta is a major brick on that path, and this partnership is a solid foundation on which we build the future of gaming and finance. And at the core of this lasting partnership is a mutual alignment on our long-term interests.”
Spring Technology: The Protocol Layer for Programmable Economies
At the heart of this partnership is Vaulta’s Spring 1.0 software, powered by the Savanna consensus algorithm. Spring delivers the performance, security, and modularity required to support the unique needs of gaming platforms and real-time financial activity.
Key capabilities include:
1-Second Finality – Confirms transactions instantly
Scalability – Over 10,000 transactions per second
Advanced Smart Contracts – Support for programmable finance and gaming logic
Multi-Signature Custody – Secure, compliant asset control
Cross-Chain Interoperability – Native bridges to external networks
These features allow digital assets to function more like real-world financial instruments, enabling games to operate as true economic engines with embedded tools for earning, trading, and managing value. These capabilities lay the groundwork for payment rails, connect on and off ramps between fiat and crypto, and wealth-building mechanisms that allow users to stake or lend assets to earn yield, unlocking deeper financial utility within digital environments.
Exchanging Capabilities, Building Foundations
As part of the agreement, Vaulta now has access to Ultra’s powerful developer stack, expanding the set of tools available to the Vaulta Foundation, which may inform future infrastructure development and collaborative integrations:
Ultratest: A next-generation smart contract testing framework, which allows developers to launch faster and more securely
MSIG Signing Tool: A breakthrough in secure gaming transactions and digital ownership
Predicate System: Reduces gas fees to make blockchain gaming more affordable and accessible
HSM Signing Code hardware: Secure hardware signing for private key management
These tools reflect a shared commitment to innovation, responsible collaboration, and mutual advancement. The partnership strengthens Vaulta’s position as a trusted infrastructure provider for builders and institutions alike.
The Architecture of Open Collaboration
Vaulta’s Business Source License (BSL) plays a pivotal role in enabling this partnership. Ultra is the first to formally adopt Vaulta’s Spring software under the BSL, benefiting from its performance, scalability, and security guarantees within a framework designed to protect long-term project integrity.
Like Vaulta, Ultra believes crypto must be treated with the same standards as traditional finance. Real utility demands real accountability, and this principle underpins the structure of this partnership.The license strikes a balance between openness and accountability. It allows aligned teams to build confidently on Vaulta’s innovations while upholding shared principles of trust, transparency, and fair use. In practice, the BSL provides the legal and technical scaffolding needed for this kind of cross-network collaboration to flourish.
This partnership sets a precedent for how cross-chain collaboration can thrive under the Business Source License model, enabling Antelope-based chains to openly share infrastructure and innovations without friction. At a time when others are still evaluating the implications of this model, Ultra is demonstrating that transparent, good-faith agreements grounded in mutual respect can unlock outsized potential for both the parties involved and the broader ecosystem.
A First Step Toward Embedded Web3 Finance
This partnership aligns with Vaulta’s broader goal to engage directly with innovative platforms to build the next iteration of global finance by seeking out novel use cases where Web3 Banking can provide real benefits. Additional collaborations are set to be announced in the coming weeks, designed to drive innovation and growth across every pillar of the financial ecosystem, including trading, payments, tokenized assets, and yield-based wealth strategies.
As part of Vaulta’s Four Pillars framework, this partnership sits firmly within both the Consumer Payments and Wealth Management verticals. It enables new ways to spend, stake, and grow value across game economies and the wider Web3 financial landscape.
This is just the beginning. As Vaulta continues to bridge traditional finance and digital innovation, partnerships like this one, alongside solutions like Virgo’s stablecoin payments platform, offer a glimpse into how Web3 Banking can be embedded into everyday experiences: securely, seamlessly, and at scale.
Whether it’s gaming, investment, payments, or tokenized assets, Vaulta is laying the foundation for financial systems that are interoperable, institution-ready, and built to serve the needs of tomorrow’s users today.
