The vocabulary is shifting. Today we say "digital assets." Soon, we'll just say assets. Funds. Derivatives. RWAs. New financial products. The transformation of finance is already here. Vision Chain is the infrastructure powering this shift across Europe. $VSN is the economic layer. That's the direction. More from the team soon. 👇 🔗 vision.now

We’re preparing an app update that will log users out. That means one thing matters before June 1: make sure your wallet is backed up. Vision Wallet is self-custodial, so only you can recover access. Save your seed phrase safely or enable Bitpanda Backup in the app. Bitpanda Backup can be activated under: Profile > Bitpanda Integration You can find your seed phrase under: Profile > Security > Recovery Phrase Your keys, your coins, your responsibility.

Sorry this took a bit longer than usual, very busy times: 1. Revenue drivers Yes. The upcoming feature is designed to create paid user activity, regardless of whether the crypto market is moving up or down. We are not ready to reveal the mechanic yet, but the goal is clear: users interact with the product, that activity generates fees, and those fees can later flow into the VSN economy. This is the direction we need to move in: features that generate revenue, not just attention. 2. Lessons learned One key lesson is that utility has to meet users where they are. Many VSN holders are long-term users, not DeFi-native power users. They want clear, understandable benefits, and that is fair. At the same time, rewards for holding alone do not build a healthier token economy unless they are connected to real usage, fees, or product activity. So our filter for upcoming releases is stricter: create usage, generate fees, make VSN staking more valuable inside the product, or improve retention. The goal is to bridge both sides: give holders benefits they understand, while building mechanics that actually strengthen the ecosystem. 3. Mathematical impact No feature can guarantee price impact. Anyone claiming that would not be serious. What we can build are mechanisms with measurable effects: more fees generated, more VSN staked, more tokens bought back or burned, and more users actively using the Wallet. The flywheel can create price impact, but it will not spin without usage. That is the focus now: less narrative, more measurable impact. 4. Utility multiplier The VSN staking multiplier is intended to become the core Wallet mechanic. The idea is simple: the more VSN you stake in the Wallet, the more you get out of future features. There is an upcoming feature where this is integrated from launch, though it may not be the one you are referring to. Once the features are revealed, we can also talk more openly about the decision-making behind them. 5. The sandbox As mentioned several times, we are keeping the next larger Wallet feature close to the chest for now. So I will not speculate on whether it could be a specific type of product before we are ready to talk about it properly. 6. External burns External burns from partner revenues start when Vision Chain is live and partners begin generating sequencer revenue. Until then, the first revenue-linked mechanisms are more likely to come from Wallet-side activity. 7. Supply issue Many successful tokens do not have a hard cap. Confidence will come from actions, not promises. The first step was reducing emissions. The next step is offsetting supply through burns. After that, revenue-based buybacks need to become part of the system. If revenue takes longer to scale, we still need to keep dilution low and make disciplined decisions.

Hey @FkleinwieGross , I’ve been staying in the background lately to get some distance, but the "Community Dom Ask" series was such a hit (and seemed like fun for you too), that I couldn’t resist starting a new round. We’ve analyzed Blog #7 and the latest Q&A. It’s time to dig deeper into the "Real Impact" phase. Here are 7 questions for the team: Revenue Drivers: You mentioned a new feature being a "revenue driver." Is this a product based on real-time events where users actively interact, generating continuous protocol fees for the VSN burn? Lessons Learned: Which feature did you internally view as a major highlight for the price that ended up having little impact and what did you learn for upcoming releases? Mathematical Impact: Do you have more features in the pipeline that deliver a real, mathematical impact on the price (not just narrative)? Why are you confident this time? Utility Multiplier: Will the new Staking Multiplier be integrated into the upcoming lead feature to turn VSN from a passive "holding token" into an active tool for better conditions? The Sandbox: If the wallet is a "sandbox" for Web3 products: Will we soon see markets there that monetize collective intelligence and predictions? External Burns: When will we see the first burn generated by actual external partner revenues (RWAs/Banks)? The Supply Issue: How do you build long-term confidence despite the lack of a hard cap, especially if revenues don't scale immediately? The market is tired of announcements; it’s waiting for the "Reality of Now." Looking forward to your insights! #VisionChain #VSN #Bitpanda #CommunityDomAsk #CryptoRealism @vsntoken @VisionWallet

Apologies for the delayed response, busy times! From Narrative to Reality Appreciate it. We do measure output, but not just in terms of reach or impressions. What matters more is the quality of what follows: inbound from partners, stronger conversations, builders reaching out, and whether people already have context when we engage with them. What we’re doing right now is very much the first half of a classic AIDA (Attention-Interest-Desire-Action) flow. We’re building attention and interest. That’s what the podcasts, content, and overall presence are for. Not because that alone creates value, but because without it, the next steps become much harder. When the chain and the products & applications on it are live, the goal is that desire and action are not starting from zero. People already understand what Vision is, what it stands for, and why it matters. The transition from here is straightforward in theory: - turn awareness into integrations - turn integrations into usage - turn usage into recurring activity and fees That’s where it becomes real. So yes, the current phase is still narrative-heavy, we’re laying the groundwork so that when real products are live, we’re not trying to explain everything from scratch. At the end of the day, though, none of this replaces execution. If the products don’t deliver, attention doesn’t convert. The Heart of Vision You’re right, building in this space isn’t just technical. It’s emotional as well. On team size, across the core Web3 setup, we’re roughly around 50 people at this point. On top of that, we have a lot of supporting functions at Bitpanda like legal, compliance, regulatory, finance, tax and others that we can rely on when needed. They’re not exclusively working on Web3, but they’re an integral part of our mission to make DeFi actually work for regulated players. What matters more than the number is how the team operates. At this pace, it’s easy to lose focus or burn people out. So we put a lot of emphasis on clarity. What matters right now, what doesn’t, and why. Not everything can be priority one at the same time. We also try to stay honest internally. Things don’t always go as planned, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help. A strong team comes from people feeling they’re building something real, not just chasing a narrative. On visibility, fair point. We’ve started introducing more people, and we’ll continue doing that. At the same time, not everyone is comfortable putting themselves out there publicly, especially in crypto. It takes a certain level of… let’s call it commitment to be the face of a project here ;) Some people prefer to focus on building rather than tweeting, and that’s completely fine. We’ll keep finding the right balance between showing the team and respecting that. The Global Ecosystem I’d look at it the same way you do. It’s not really about competition in the traditional sense. It’s a sign that the space is maturing. When major players move in this direction, it validates the idea that onchain finance, especially around RWAs, is becoming real infrastructure. From the conversations we’re having, the tone is actually quite constructive. It’s less “who wins” and more “how do we make this work in a way that is scalable and compliant.” Our partners are thinking long-term. They care about things like regulatory clarity, distribution, and whether there is actual user demand, not just short-term narratives. That’s also how we approach it. Vision is not trying to be the loudest or fastest entrant. The goal is to enter with something that actually works in a European context, connects to real users, and can scale over time. If we get that right, we’re not competing against the global DeFi ecosystem. We’re part of building it.

Absolute game-changer news! Bitpanda Enterprise on Vision Chain is the ultimate proof of concept for institutional adoption in Europe. ​However, it seems Marketing was so excited they forgot to mention the heart of this entire infrastructure—the $VSN token. 😉 You can’t build the engine and ignore the economic glue that holds it all together! ​If I were the one announcing this, it would’ve sounded like this: 'We are bringing the banking world on-chain! Bitpanda Enterprise is now officially powered by Vision. The result? Massive institutional volume flowing directly into our flywheel, cementing $VSN as the core economic asset of the ecosystem.' ​Regardless—the direction is 100% right. The tracks are laid, now let’s let the train roll!

Vision Chain will be the infrastructure behind Bitpanda Enterprise Tokenize. Together, we will bring scalable, compliance-ready tokenisation to institutions in Europe and beyond, built for regulated finance from day one. With Bitpanda Enterprise as our partner, Vision Chain moves directly into the hands of banks, corporates and asset issuers, becoming the infrastructure layer for regulated digital assets.

You asked, we answered. The first Vision Chain Q&A is now live! Governance, Nodes, Use-cases & more.

Thanks for the questions, here come my answers ;) The Essential Role of $VSN for Bitpanda This is a fair and important question. The short answer is: VSN is not a marketing layer or a side experiment. It’s the mechanism that connects usage across products into one shared system. Bitpanda operates multiple business lines: brokerage, custody, B2B solutions, wallet infrastructure. What VSN does is create a native layer that can align incentives across those verticals, especially as more activity moves onchain. Could Bitpanda operate without a token? Yes, technically. But the moment you build open infrastructure, serve external builders, and create programmable value flows, a token becomes more than optional. It becomes the coordination layer. It enables fee capture, governance logic, incentive design, and ecosystem alignment in a way that centralised reward systems simply cannot. In that sense, VSN is not interchangeable. It’s the economic glue for an open Web3 stack that sits alongside a regulated fintech company. On leadership visibility: I understand the desire for stronger, more visible signals. Bridging the perception gap between Vision and the broader Bitpanda brand is something we’re aware of. You’ll likely see more integration in communication over time. Whether that takes the form of a joint launch event or another format is secondary. What matters more is that alignment is visible through action, not just announcements. Strategic Leverage & Asset Focus If you zoom out, the most sustainable volume will come from assets that generate recurring activity, not one-off hype cycles. Tokenised traditional financial products and RWAs are strategically important because they bring structured volume, institutional participation, and regulatory clarity. That type of flow is far more stable than purely speculative assets. That said, early validation of the fee model does not need to wait for full-scale RWA adoption. There are shorter-term use cases that can drive meaningful activity: structured yield products, onchain settlement flows, integrations with Bitpanda’s existing user base and tools for builders who want regulation-ready infrastructure. The real objective is not to pick one asset class, but to create an environment where different asset types generate complementary activity. The stronger the overlap between user, institutional, and builder activity, the healthier the fee model becomes. Buybacks, if and when they are driven by ecosystem profits, are the byproduct of that activity. The focus is therefore volume with substance, not volume with volatility. Technological Architecture & Compliance Integration MiCA is not something we work around. It’s something we design for. The chain infrastructure is being built with regulatory requirements in mind from the start. That includes identity layers, compliance tooling, and the ability to separate permissioned from open environments where necessary. The challenge is balance. If you over-optimise for compliance, you lose developer interest. If you ignore compliance, you lose institutional adoption. The goal is to create a layered architecture where institutions can operate in a compliance-ready environment while independent builders still have space to innovate. That’s not easy, but it’s also the opportunity. Europe is unlikely to win by copying unregulated DeFi models. It can win by building infrastructure where compliance and openness coexist. If we get that balance right, Vision does not just become another chain. It becomes a bridge between regulated finance and open Web3. At the core of all three questions is the same theme: long-term alignment. The strategy is not to create short-term excitement. It’s to build infrastructure where usage, compliance, and token economics reinforce each other. If that works, the rest follows.

DROPS E30: @FkleinwieGross from @BitpandaWallet: Europe Finally Gets Its Own Blockchain! Bitpanda has 7.5 million users and 11 years of regulatory track record.
