Network Resources

In order to begin engaging with Vaulta Native, it helps to have an understanding of how transactions are powered on the network. Vaulta utilizes a resource-based model, which is more efficient and cost effective than gas fees used by other networks.

CPU (Processing Power)

CPU is used when your account runs a transaction (like sending tokens or using an app). CPU is rented alongside NET using the PowerUp model.

NET (Network Bandwidth)

NET is used to send data across the network when you interact with apps or other users. NET is rented alongside CPU using the PowerUp model.

RAM (Storage, Decentralized State Data)

RAM is used to store persistent blockchain data including account information and smart contract data. Unlike CPU and NET, RAM is not rented but bought and sold on a free market.

How do I get more Resources?

The following guides will walk you through managing resources in the Vaulta portal:

• Managing Resources (CPU/ NET)

• Buy/ Sell RAM

Benefits of a Resource-Based Model

Unlike Ethereum where every transaction has a gas fee, Vaulta uses a resource-based model — which keeps things cheaper and more flexible.

Our resource-based model offers:

💸No surprise fees 🚫 No bidding wars to get your transaction confirmed 🌱 A solution that is more efficient for developers and users

Takeaway

Vaulta's resource model is designed to maximize efficiency, scalability, and user control.

Resource	Access Method	Used For	Notes
CPU	Rented via PowerUp	Executing transactions	Fee-based, 24-hour rental
NET	Rented via PowerUp	Transmitting data	Typically bundled with CPU
RAM	Purchased on market	Storing data, creating accounts	Price fluctuates with market demand
