Vaulta glossary

Vaulta is the blockchain formerly branded EOS. You use it through an account, a short on-chain name controlled by keys you hold. Each transaction spends CPU and NET, and account data lives in RAM. The token is A. This page defines those terms and the Blocksfinity features built on them, in the order you will meet them.

Vaulta. An Antelope blockchain, formerly branded EOS. Accounts, history, and keys carried over from EOS.

A (token). The Vaulta token, issued by the `core.vaulta` contract with 4 decimal places. The older EOS token (`eosio.token`) swaps 1:1 with A through `core.vaulta`, in either direction.

Account. An on-chain name that holds balances and resources. Standard names are 12 characters using a to z and 1 to 5. Shorter names are premium and are won through a name bid. Account guide.

Permission. A named authority on an account, made of one or more keys or accounts and a threshold. Every account starts with two: owner and active.

Owner permission. The top authority. It can replace every other key, including active. Keep the owner key offline as your recovery root.

Active permission. The everyday authority for transfers, staking, RAM, REX, and votes. It cannot change the owner key.

Public and private key. The public key is written on chain and is safe to share. The private key signs transactions and must never be shared. Blocksfinity never asks for it.

Non-custodial. You hold the keys. Blocksfinity cannot move your funds, reset your keys, or restore access you lose. Recover access guide.

CPU. Processing time your transactions use. If you have too little, transactions fail until you add more.

NET. Network bandwidth, counted in bytes per transaction. It works like CPU and is usually needed in smaller amounts.

PowerUp. Renting CPU and NET from the system for a set period, currently 1 day on mainnet. You pay a fee in A and set the most you are willing to pay. PowerUp and RAM guide.

RAM. Storage for account data such as token balances and contract tables. You buy and sell it on an on-chain market. Each buy and each sell pays a 0.5% fee. Wallet RAM.

Stake. Locking A to CPU or NET for your own account or another. Unstaked tokens come back after a 3 day refund delay. Allocate stake.

REX. The Resource Exchange, a shared pool where you lend A and others rent resources. Returns follow pool growth. They are not a fixed rate. REX guide.

Block producer. A node operator elected by stake weighted votes. The top 21 produce blocks.

Vote and proxy. An account with staked A can vote for up to 30 producers, or hand its vote to a proxy account that votes for it. You cannot do both at once. Vote.

Multisig (msig). A proposed transaction that waits for the approvals its permission requires. Creating a proposal does not run it. Someone executes it after the threshold is met. Multisig.

Name bid. An auction for a premium name shorter than 12 characters. A new bid must beat the current one by more than 10%. Only the highest open bid can close, and only after 24 hours with no new bid. Name bids.

Authenticator. The Blocksfinity signing vault. It keeps keys encrypted under a master password you choose. There is no password reset. Authenticator guide.

Passkey. A WebAuthn credential, such as Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello, backed by a key on chain. It is for day-to-day sign-in where enabled. It does not replace the offline owner key.

Alerts. Free notifications about your account, delivered to the in-app inbox with optional email, Telegram, Slack, or WhatsApp. Alerts guide.

Safe Mode. A waiting period before the active key can finish anything that moves value. Owner turns it on and can still act right away. Security.

Private mode. Hides an account in Blocksfinity search, leaderboards, and public profile details. It needs Identity Inc. verification first. The chain itself stays public.

Identity Inc. The identity verification partner behind the free account path and private mode. Identity.

Recover. The page where you prove an authority you already prepared and rebuild day-to-day access. It is not a reset. Recover.
