Q2 Burn & Vision Community Q&A - ENG
Products, revenue, utility and what comes next
Over the past weeks, the main theme from the community has been clear: what is being built, how does it connect back to VSN, and when do we move from announcements to measurable usage?
Vision is not meant to be judged only by what we say we are building, it needs to be judged by product usage, revenue, utility, user growth and how strongly all of that connects back into the VSN economy.
This Q&A covers Vision Chain, Predictions, Wallet roadmap, token utility, governance, exchange listings and what comes next for the first VSN anniversary.
1. Vision Chain infrastructure and institutional pipeline
Question: Vision Chain was announced as an OP Stack L2 for regulated RWAs. What is the current status and expected timeline for the fully permissionless public mainnet with open explorer and broad developer access? Developer documentation was also announced, but there are still no public in-depth resources available. When can developers expect concrete docs, details and a public explorer?
Are there already pilot token issuances or live settlements with institutional partners, for example specific assets, stablecoin deployments or institutional volumes under MiCA?
And what does the 2026 institutional onboarding pipeline look like?
Answer: Vision Chain is still planned for 2026.
The technical direction remains the same: Vision Chain is being built as an OP Stack Layer 2, with strong compatibility to the broader OP ecosystem. For developers, that matters because the goal is not to create a completely unfamiliar environment. The chain should stay close to a vanilla OP Stack setup where possible, so builders can work with familiar tools, standards, and infrastructure.
Developer documentation is expected to land in Q3. That will include more concrete technical details and give developers a clearer starting point for building and exploring the chain.
On the institutional side, we are actively working on projects with multiple major financial institutions. These will be revealed closer to launch and after launch, once the respective partners, products, and timelines are ready to be communicated properly.
It is important to be realistic here. Institutional projects are not launched like crypto-native products. They involve legal structuring, internal approvals, compliance work, technical integration, product design, distribution planning and partner timelines. Working with traditional financial institutions also means working with their processes and schedules.
That makes the work slower from the outside, but it is also exactly why this matters. Vision Chain is not supposed to launch as an empty network. It is being built to support real institutional use cases, real assets and real activity.
2. Predictions and the Polymarket integration
Question:What is the deal with Polymarket? An explanation would certainly be helpful.
Answer:We partnered with Polymarket to bring the full breadth of their prediction markets platform into Vision Wallet.
That means users can access Polymarket directly through the Wallet, instead of moving funds to an external platform and managing the experience somewhere else.
Prediction markets allow users to turn their opinions and knowledge into tradable positions. Finance, politics, sports, culture, weather, tech, global events. If there is a market for it, users can take a position on what they believe will happen.
Before prediction markets, people often had to express their view on world events indirectly. For example, if you had an opinion about an election, a product release, a sports result or a macro event, you often had to guess how that might affect financial markets. With prediction markets, you can trade the event itself.
That is why this category is becoming one of the most interesting areas in DeFi right now. It takes something people already do every day, forming opinions about the world, and turns it into a direct market.
With the Vision Wallet integration, access becomes much simpler.
This is also just the start. We are already working on improvements such as Engage missions, better charts, better categorisation, better browsing and easier onboarding. The goal is to make prediction markets easier to discover, easier to understand and easier to use.
3. How VSN benefits from Predictions
Question: How does VSN currently benefit from the new Predictions feature? Without Vision Chain, there is no automated buyback yet. Right now, you might even still be paying fees. How and when does this flow into VSN?
Answer: Predictions and Vision Chain are separate.
Vision Chain will have its own automated economic mechanism once it is live. Predictions works differently.
When users access Predictions through Vision Wallet, fees are generated through that activity. A share of those revenues is intended to be reinvested into VSN. In simple terms: every prediction can strengthen the token.
However, this is not yet the same automated process that we plan to have with Vision Chain. For Predictions, revenues will be collected first. Once a sufficient amount has been reached, we intend to announce a buyback event.
We understand that this is not the most satisfying answer for people who want exact timing and numbers. But buybacks are a highly regulated topic. We cannot make guarantees, give assumptions on size or timing, or communicate this as if it were a fixed schedule.
When the time comes, we will follow the proper process, notify the relevant parties and communicate clearly to holders.
The important point is this: Predictions is a product that can create real usage and real revenues. A share of that revenue will flow back into VSN.
4. Vision Wallet roadmap and market focus
Question: Did the priority roadmap for Vision Wallet shift? At the start of Engage, it looked like the team was trying to conquer the Asian market. Now with Predict, it looks like the plans have changed. If so, where do we see the Wallet in the next three to six months?
Answer: The focus did not completely change, but the context is different.
Asia was especially relevant for our listing efforts and for building broader token awareness. That remains important, especially from a long-term market and distribution perspective.
For Predictions, the focus is different because access depends heavily on where the feature is allowed. Here, our current focus is clearly on European markets where the product can be made available, including Austria, most of the Nordics, and large parts of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.
Over the next three to six months, the priority for the Wallet is clear: improve the Predictions experience, increase product usage, connect more activity to Engage and VSN, and continue building features that can generate repeat usage and revenue.
The Wallet is not moving away from its broader vision. It is becoming more concrete.
5. Broker integrations
Question: Once again: any chance to get an official statement regarding Broker integrations? Why only Wallet and not the combination of both worlds?
Answer: The direction is clear: stronger connections between Bitpanda, the Broker and Vision make sense.
But the Web3 and Vision team cannot give detailed information about the Broker roadmap before those topics are ready to be communicated officially.
What we can say is this: the goal is not to keep Vision isolated. Vision Wallet and Bitpanda serve different roles, but they should become more connected where it makes sense for users, for the product and for the ecosystem.
The Wallet is the place where we can move faster with self-custody, DeFi-native products and more experimental Web3 use cases. The Broker is the mainstream investment platform with a different regulatory setup, different product requirements and different user expectations.
Bringing those worlds closer together is important, but it has to be done properly.
6. Direct token utility
Question: Is there even a direct use case planned for the token?
Answer: Yes. We just added another direct use case in the Wallet through the referral programme.
The referral programme is intentionally designed to be strong. The reason is simple: targeted advertising for DeFi features is heavily limited by the regulatory landscape. So referrals become an important part of distribution, especially around Predictions.
KOLs and partners can use the referral programme to onboard their communities into Vision Wallet. That creates a more organic growth loop around the product.
VSN is included in this through the staking multiplier. The more the programme is used, the more relevant that multiplier becomes. That should create additional utility and demand for staking VSN inside the Wallet.
This is the direction we want to keep building toward: VSN utility that is connected to real product usage, not just passive holding.
7. MiCA, exchange listings and delisting risk
Question: The token listings already aged like fine wine and since then the “fruit” itself is turning more and more red. Is there a chance to lose listings on some exchanges because of the token price, market situation or MiCA regulations? If so, what can you do to prevent it?
Answer: The current market environment is difficult. Trading volumes are lower across many assets, appetite for crypto trading is weaker, and that creates pressure across the entire market.
There has been some pressure from exchanges, but we are currently not at risk of being delisted anywhere.
What we can do is support trading activity through campaigns on specific platforms and in specific regions. But this also needs to be handled carefully.
Airdrops and aggressive incentive campaigns can increase attention, but they can also create sell pressure, especially outside of our own user base. So it is always a balance between increasing activity and avoiding mechanics that hurt the token more than they help.
The better long-term solution is not artificial volume. It is more product usage, stronger utility and more reasons for users to hold and stake VSN.
8. Governance, burns and the next proposal
Question: Governance already had its early start and soon we get the first burn with the new emission rate. When can we expect the next proposal and the new governance website that is being worked on with Lukas Kurzmann?
Answer: Governance is actively being worked on.
Together with Lukas Kurzmann and the Web3 Committee, we are working on a broader governance framework that can make the process clearer, more structured and more useful over time.
We cannot give a fixed date for the next proposal right now.
At the latest, the next proposal will come when the first revenue-funded buyback happens. That is an important moment because the community should have a say in how VSN acquired through ecosystem revenues is used.
This is where governance becomes more meaningful: not just voting for the sake of voting, but making decisions around real economic flows inside the ecosystem.
9. Restoring trust, attractiveness and demand
Question: How do you envision restoring trust, attractiveness and demand for VSN, given the current situation? Is there a specific timeframe, such as three months or six months, or is it still open-ended as usual? We would appreciate clear solutions.
Answer: Demand has to come from utility and from investment into the ecosystem that is funded by product revenue.
That is the core of the strategy.
Our biggest focus remains shipping products that attract new and existing users, create usage, generate revenue and make VSN more relevant inside the ecosystem. That is what gets the flywheel moving.
We understand why people ask for a clear timeline. But trust, attractiveness and demand are not things you can restore by picking a random date. They are qualitative and subjective, and they depend on product delivery, market conditions, user adoption, revenue and execution.
Anyone who gives you a specific date for when the token price will be back at a certain level is either lying or trying to sell you something.
What we can do is continue to ship, continue to deliver the roadmap, manage the token as responsibly as we can in a difficult market, and build more direct links between usage, revenue and VSN.
That is the honest answer.
10. One-year anniversary and launch incentives
Question: We are soon approaching the first VSN anniversary, which also concludes the end of the Launch Incentives. Are there any plans to mark the first full year and celebrate with lasting and new community members or investors?
Answer: Yes, we have plans to mark the first VSN anniversary.
We are not ready to share the details yet, but it is not far away.
What we can already say is that the Launch Incentives will not be extended. They were designed for the launch phase, and that phase is coming to an end.
The next phase needs to be different. Less about launch incentives, more about product usage, revenue, token utility and governance.
The anniversary is a good moment to look back at what has been built, but more importantly, to show what comes next.
Closing thought
This Q&A is really about one thing: Vision is moving from setup into usage.
Vision Chain is still planned for 2026.Predictions is live in the Wallet.VSN is being connected to more product activity.Governance is becoming more structured.Revenue-funded buybacks are part of the next phase.And the Wallet is starting to become a more active product layer, not just a place to hold assets.
The market is difficult. We know that. The token is under pressure. We know that too.
But the way forward is not to promise a price target or invent artificial hype.
The way forward is to build products people use, generate revenue from that usage, and connect that revenue back into the VSN economy.
That is the work now.
