- AI Marketplace News
- Security Spotlight
- $VULT Token Hype
This recap is a whopper. Let’s get to it.
Dev Updates
The most important updates and releases coming from Vultisig’s back dev room
1. Browser Extension Update Confirms Rujira Support on Vultisig
Big one here, folks! Very big! Long awaited this has been, and it’s here. That Vultisig’s Browser Extension can now connect to Rujira Network, it’s time for this match made in heaven to finally be let out into the wild.
If you’re in this ecosystem and an active user of either or both platforms, we encourage you to block off at least an hour or two to play around with the connections to see what is possible here. Then, be sure to let us know… is this possibly the DeFi self-custody nut’s dream?
side note: just a bit ago, this writer (yours truly), briefly connected a vault to Rujira to test it out. Worked like a charm, and boy, I’ll tell ya… did that feel good. I have to finish writing this article STAT so I can get back to playing around in my new sandbox.
This Rujira support comes auto-updated with the fresh v0.2.4 extension upgrade 👇
And as if this news wasn’t enough… Check out what Hippocampus, the dev specifically dedicated to this integration, says about what sees coming with the harmony of these two platforms… 😳 (click the caption link for his full reflection)
2. Partnership Announcement: GFGI 🥳
Another big one! This partnership with CFGI, perhaps the perfectors of the Crypto Fear & Greed Index in terms of accuracy, is brimming over with potential developmental avenues to explore with Vultisig. CFGI is an ingenious group of builders and thinkers, and what they’ll be able to do in partnership with Vultisig devs, especially when it comes to the AI Plugin Marketplace, has, quite frankly, very few limitations holding it back from making unprecedented user-forward technologies.
We cannot wait to see what comes of this!
3. Coming Soon: Wallet Imports
While not yet live, this will remove one of the most massive barriers to entry for users of Vultisig. Many (including, for a time early on, the writer of this article) had or have held out in so many ways against creating a Vultisig vault because we simply didn’t or don’t want to have another wallet address. This means we’d have to, at least in some country’s cases, track and file another address — big headache add.
While the technical jargon that comes along with MPC-based security is even over our head at times, and while it has yet to be revealed exactly how the mechanism of importing a legacy key into an MPC wallet will work or function, with JP, where there’s a will there’s a way — and it seems he’s just about cracked the code to letting intent users import private keys (that were previously made and belong to legacy, seedphrase-based wallets) into Vultisig.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted on progress of this feature.

Community Updates
Community events, ecosystem project updates, & other fun things
1. Community Speedrun Challenge
Vultisig announced the first challenge of its kind: who can create a fast vault the fastest? The winner would earn a spot on the $VULT whitelist — a true gem of a reward!
Check out just below the video of the winner of the challenge, @ClassmateFang, who accomplished the task in a mere 21 seconds 👀 🤯👇
2. Delphi Ventures Tips the Cap to Vultisig
With this post, Vultisig announced the dropping of a new X article series, “A Note from a Vultisig Investor”. In these, they plan to capture the voices of some of the larger-playing, bag-holding believers within and around the Vultisig community.
The first starts off strong, having been written by Delphi Digital, a level-headed, technical-forward crypto research firm. Delphi Digital wouldn’t be throwing accolades at Vultisig if they did not truly believe in the promise of the project, so it’s with this in mind that it’s a high honor to receive such optimistic words about the project.
Thank you, Delphi Digital 🤝

Metrics
Analytical review of recent & all-time performance
XScanner’s interface leaderboard and Vultisig dashboard is providing great insights into the platform’s state of affairs while Vultisig gets their own back up and running. Great work, XScanner — the information below is all pulled from its pages.
This Week
- Swap Volume: $242.09k
- Swap Transactions: 134
- Unique Swappers: 81
- Fees Generated: $1.2k
30-Day Metrics
Key metrics tallied over the total duration of Vultisig’s lifespan 👇
- Swap Volume: $3.59m (+28.32%)
- Total Swap Transactions: 1.02k (+51.48%)
- Total Unique Swappers: 290 (+53.44%)
- Total Fees Earned: $17.5k (+25.74%)
- Average Fees Earned/Swap: $17.03 (-16.99%)
Interface Leaderboard Rankings
- Overall (30-day): 13th
- User Stickiness: 7th @ 1.65 swaps/user
- Health Score: 12th @ 323.29
Metrics Commentary
Reviewing the numbers, the past weeks shows a clear evolution in user demographic, and a new and very positive one at that. In early July and before, we saw a few number of users impacting the majority of swap volume. While that’s still generally the case on a broad scale, the number of swappers, and the number of swaps, have each increased by over 50% — Vultisig is seeing a tremendous wave of new user activity 🥳👏 This is also likely the cause of Vultisig’s “User Stickiness” ranking dropping from a steady third place to 7th —these new Vultisig users are making fewer swaps, spreading out an increased number over a larger pool of participants.
This is all awesome to see. As this wave of new users becomes more familiar with Vultisig’s UI, you can bet that sticky ranking will ramp back up heavily.
I guess here we should say, Welcome, new Vultisig swappers! We hope you are enjoying your experience — stay a while, your funds are safu 🙂
AI Marketplace News
Contextualizing Vultisig’s coming marketplace in the context of macro outlooks
1. Vultisig’s Plugin Marketplace is Coming…
Near Term Roadmap…
Just have a look yourself 👇
“Soon, you’ll be able to…” 👇
Want some more? 👇
maybe a bit more? (you might recall keyser’s sentiment from above) 👇
2. A Sneak Peak
Interested in what this plugin marketplace will actually look like?
Well, look no further 👇
Look familiar? It should. Vultisig’s AI Marketplace is going to resemble just the type of app stores we use everyday. No UI learning curve required.
3. Smart Money says: AI Agents 🤝 Blockchain ( 🤝 Vultisig)
Below is the sentiment not isolated to crypto — it’s the thought of major legal firms, for the biotech industry, for military, for almost every industry you can think of. Why would the finance industry be any different? We’ve been halfway there already for years now.
And, remind us again, who is building the most intuitive open-source AI Plugin Marketplace the likes of which the world has never seen?
Just ask paaao.
Security Spotlight
Highlighting security priorities via recent security exploit anecdotes
It’s 2025, y’all…getchaself some safety & security.
Read through the woes of many.. and the blatant, smack-you-in-the-face resolution that could and would (and will) fix the rampant phishing problem facing the self-custody industry.
You might think rr is exaggerating a misplaced pity for single-key self-custody users. If you think so, just take a glance at the stories below…👇
$3.05m lost due to a phishing attack
then…
2. ~$1m worth of $BTC saved over years… poof 💨
A hard saving family fell victim to a scam app and lost everything they’ve worked several years towards.
These are just two of the many stories we do hear about — there are so many more that we don’t. And this is exactly why JP commands users to get Vultisig 👇 It’s a command that comes from care.
Don’t lose your hard earned money. Download Vultisig and use it.
So… if you’re not using Vultisig yet — why not?
$VULT Token Hype
Who doesn’t love some pre-TGE hype?
Check out the following posts specifically geared towards the $VULT token.
We’ll let the posts speak for themselves so as to not inspire anymore impatience. All we’ll say is… if these don’t get you hype, then, well, Lord help ya.
So… “Wen $VULT?”
Ewentually. 👇
Final Thoughts
Clearly, Vultisig continues to fire on all cylinders. It’s making the right partnerships, prioritizing the right updates and its order of operations couldn’t be more thoughtful and logical. And now we’re seeing glimpses of what’s to come with the AI Marketplace, and that’s not to mention the far more chatter of the $VULT token than has previously been let out.
We’re mere community devs, and we don’t know what happens behind the backdoors. But there’s no doubt of a feeling we’ve got about Vultisig, the excitement piling up like it’s in a pressure cooker— and, pretty soon here.. it’s gonna ‘splode. We’re more than confident you’re going to want to be there when it does — this is especially true of those on the whitelist (so reconfirm your addresses if you haven’t!!).
While we wait for the unleashing of all that Vultisig is about to unlock and unleash upon the finance and self-custody industries, all we can say for now is..
Have a Vultisig day, y’all.
