# Wrapped RAM

**Wrapped RAM (WRAM)** is a tokenized version of the system RAM on the Vaulta (EOS) blockchain. It allows users to convert their RAM into a tradable token, enhancing liquidity and flexibility in managing this vital resource.​

## Benefits of WRAM

| Benefit                     | Description                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Enhanced Liquidity**      | Trade WRAM tokens on various exchanges, making RAM more accessible and liquid.                                                             |
| **Off-Chain Trading**       | Facilitates off-chain trading of RAM resources, expanding market reach.                                                                    |
| **Transparent Valuation**   | Track WRAM on platforms like CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko for accurate market capitalization and valuation.                                 |
| **Interoperability**        | Bridge WRAM to other blockchains like Ethereum and BNB Chain, enabling trading on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap. |
| **Security and Management** | Managed directly by EOS Block Producers, ensuring enhanced security and regulatory compliance.                                             |

## How WRAM Works

WRAM operates through a smart contract (`eosio.wram`) on the EOS Native chain. Users can **wrap** and **unwrap** RAM as follows:​

* **Wrap**: Convert system RAM bytes into WRAM tokens, which are credited to your account.
* **Unwrap**: Convert WRAM tokens back into system RAM bytes, retiring the WRAM tokens.​

This process is facilitated by the EOS system contract v3.3.0 upgrade, which introduced enhanced RAM management capabilities.

## Fees and Transactions

* **Wrapping Fees**: A nominal 0.5% fee is applied when using `buyram` and `buyrambytes` actions to issue WRAM tokens.
* **Transfers**: No fees are applied when using the `ramtransfer` action for WRAM issuance, promoting efficient RAM management.​
