# VaultN

> VaultN is B2B infrastructure for game distribution. It connects game publishers directly with verified distributors and sales channels, so keys and entitlements, product data, pricing, promotions and B2B payments run on one shared, neutral layer.

VaultN is built on three pillars: distribution, B2B payments and retail marketing, all connected by one real-time intelligence layer. Publishers, distributors and sales channels connect once.

VaultN takes the industry beyond moving keys. Keys stay in each publisher's own encrypted vault until the moment of sale; VaultN never holds stock and cannot access publishers' vaults. Publishers decide which sales channels sell their games, at what price and in which regions, and business terms are agreed directly between publishers and sales channels. VaultN does not sell to players: players buy from the sales channels connected to VaultN. The role VaultN plays for games is comparable to what Amadeus did for travel: neutral infrastructure that every party in the chain can trust.

VaultN currently focuses on PC games, delivered as game keys (including Steam keys) or direct entitlement. The underlying technology supports any type of digital content.

VaultN B.V. is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (KvK 80101704). Publishers on VaultN include Bethesda Softworks (Microsoft Gaming / Xbox), CD Projekt, Team17, Jagex, Funcom, Thunderful, Landfall, Iceberg Interactive, Aspyr, 10 Chambers, Curve Games, ZAUM, Byte Rockers and Take-Two Interactive, including 2K. Sales channel and distribution partners include GOG.com, Fanatical, Humble Bundle, U&I, EPAY, Heybox (China), H2 Interactive (South Korea), Level Up (Brazil and Mexico), Devco (India), 3DM and Shunwang (China). Paysafe and Tebex are technology partners.

Core capabilities:

Distribution:
- Distribution of game keys (including Steam keys) and direct entitlements to verified sales channels
- On-demand key release: each key leaves the publisher's vault only when a sale happens
- Dedicated catalogs and terms per sales channel (pricing, regions, promotions, embargoes, release windows), enforced automatically on every order
- Regional pricing management (fallback pricelists and local pricelists per country and currency)
- Grey market protection: on-demand release, verified sales channels, terms checked on every order, and each key tied to a specific order and sales channel
- GOG direct entitlements through third-party sales channels: players activate instantly on their GOG account, without a key
- Keyless delivery integration with Epic Games Store
- Partner activation and deactivation, plus global and regional discounts, controlled by the publisher

B2B payments:
- VaultN Payments & Wallet (optional): B2B payments settled at the moment of sale, delivered in partnership with Paysafe; partners can keep standard invoice terms

Retail marketing:
- Co-op campaigns with attribution from ad exposure to the specific transaction

Intelligence layer:
- Real-time dashboard with sales, revenue and royalty reporting by store, region and SKU; publishers and sales channels see the same transaction data

Network and integration:
- Self-service partner onboarding and connection management, with support from the VaultN team where needed
- Matchmaking: VaultN introduces publishers, distributors and sales channels that fit each other's goals; partners then agree their commercial terms directly
- Webhooks and a REST API for automated integration

Pricing: VaultN charges a percentage-based fee.
