# Vaulta RAM

RAM on Vaulta is essentially decentralized state data.  It is one of three resources that users and developers can leverage to interface with the Vaulta network. A finite real world asset, it represents the physical hardware that Vaulta node operators are running in their servers. WRAM is a wrapped version of RAM which can be acquired through exchanges and DeFi protocols.
