Ultra, a blockchain-based gaming platform, has confirmed a new strategic partnership with web3 banking provider Vaulta. The announcement is part of Ultra’s broader 2025 reboot strategy, which has included new funding and recent appointments at the executive level. The collaboration signals a deeper integration between gaming and decentralized finance, as both companies work to expand their roles within the web3 ecosystem.

The partnership builds on existing technological compatibility between the two organizations. Ultra is originally built on the EOS SDK, the same foundation from which Vaulta has evolved. Vaulta itself is a rebranding of the EOS blockchain, now focused on delivering banking and financial applications through blockchain infrastructure. This shared foundation enables the companies to align technically while also exploring new joint capabilities.
In addition to technical integration, the partnership includes financial components. However, the companies have not disclosed the specific terms or structure of these financial elements. The agreement establishes Ultra as Vaulta’s official gaming arm, creating a clear division of focus between the two platforms.

Through the partnership, Ultra gains access to the Vaulta Spring framework. This integration is expected to enhance the security and scalability of Ultra’s blockchain operations. The use of Vaulta’s Banking OS will also introduce faster transaction processing and more efficient digital asset management. A key element of this upgrade is the use of the IBC multichain interoperability standard, which allows seamless interactions between different blockchain networks.
These enhancements support Ultra’s ambition to create a platform that enables the tokenization, trading, and monetization of digital assets within gaming environments. The partnership will also support decentralized marketplaces and further development of metaverse banking applications.

Ultra CEO Gus van Rijckevorsel highlighted the significance of the collaboration in strengthening Ultra’s long-term strategy. He noted that establishing strong structural partnerships, such as the one with Vaulta, is essential for Ultra’s goal of becoming a recognized leader in the gaming industry. According to van Rijckevorsel, Vaulta provides an essential building block for the future intersection of gaming and finance.
The partnership between Ultra and Vaulta reflects a growing trend in the integration of gaming platforms with financial infrastructure in the web3 space. By combining their respective strengths, the companies aim to create a more unified ecosystem where digital assets can be used across different games and financial applications.
