AML check on EOS (Vaulta)

EOS, renamed Vaulta in 2025 (token A), uses short human-readable account names instead of long addresses, and exchanges often require a memo with deposits.

Address formatAccount names of up to 12 characters: a–z, digits 1–5 and dotsu41m41jucf4qExample for illustration, not a real address.
Note

An account name doesn't tell you who controls it today, because the keys behind it can be replaced, so check the name again each time instead of relying on an old result. When you send to an exchange, include the memo it gives you; Kraken, for example, uses one shared account for every customer's deposits.

EOS (Vaulta) specifics

  • EOS is now called Vaulta: the swap from the EOS token to the new A token opened on 14 May 2025 at a 1:1 ratio, and Vaulta says the network continued with no fork, migration or reset.[1]
  • Every account has two built-in permissions, owner and active, each controlled by a public key or another account, and a permission can change what controls it - so the same account name can end up controlled by different keys or a different person.[2]
  • Blocks are produced by 21 active block producers, who are chosen by token-holder votes.[3]
  • Using the network takes three resources: CPU (processing time), NET (space for transaction data) and RAM (storage for keys, balances and app data), and RAM is scarce, which is why creating an account costs something.[4]
  • Exchanges may use one shared account for all customers: Kraken receives all Vaulta deposits at the account krakenkraken and needs a unique numeric memo to credit you, warning that missing it can delay or permanently lose a deposit.[5]
  • In September 2019 the US SEC ordered Block.one, the company that created the EOS software, to pay a $24 million civil penalty for an unregistered ICO that ran from June 2017 to June 2018.[6]
  • Tether stopped issuing and redeeming USDT on EOS from 1 September 2025; it said it would not freeze the existing tokens, but it no longer supports them directly.[7]

FAQ

Is EOS the same network as Vaulta?

Yes. Vaulta announced the rebrand on 18 March 2025 and opened a 1:1 swap from EOS to the new A token on 14 May 2025. Vaulta says the chain carried on with no fork, migration or reset.

Why does an exchange ask me for a memo?

Some exchanges receive every customer's deposits at one shared account and use the memo to tell them apart. Kraken, for example, uses the account krakenkraken and warns that a missing memo can delay a deposit or make it impossible to recover.

Can an EOS account name change hands?

Yes. Each account's owner and active permissions are controlled by keys (or other accounts), and those can be changed, so the same name may later belong to someone else. A clean check from the past doesn't guarantee who controls the name now.

How do I check a EOS (Vaulta) address for AML risk?

Copy the public address, open one of the services listed above that supports EOS (Vaulta), and run the check. You never need a seed phrase or private key.

What does “Not verified” mean?

The service claims support somewhere — in marketing copy or a third-party page — but its own docs, pricing or FAQ do not list the network. Treat it as unknown.
