Vision wallet

What is Vision (VSN)?

Vision (VSN) is the token that Bitpanda built its Web3 arm around: it replaced the earlier Bitpanda Ecosystem Token (BEST) and Pantos (PAN), which were swapped into VSN when the new token went live. Inside that ecosystem VSN is used for fee discounts, staking, governance and access to launchpad sales, and a share of the fees generated by those products is routed into buybacks and burns of the token. Most of that utility lives inside Bitpanda's own products; in an external wallet VSN is a plain token that you hold and transfer.

What a holder deals with

VSN is a standard ERC-20 on Ethereum and also exists on Arbitrum One. There is no rebase, no wrapped version and no token account to open: the balance is simply what the contract records for your address. On both networks the gas is paid in ETH, so a small ETH balance is needed on whichever network you send from. Since the address format is identical on Ethereum and Arbitrum, the network of a transfer is the detail to check before sending, because tokens delivered on the wrong network land in the same address but do not show up where the recipient is looking.

The name Vision is not unique on token trackers: several unrelated tokens have used it or a similar ticker, so confirm the contract you add is the Bitpanda one, and if you still hold BEST, keep in mind it is a separate token from VSN and is not exchanged automatically in an external wallet.

Supported networks in Tangem (2): Arbitrum One, Ethereum. The Tangem app keeps a separate VSN balance for each network and displays which one an outgoing transfer uses, so you can confirm it against what the receiving side expects before tapping the card to sign. For a token that sits on two chains, that per-network view is the practical reason to hold it there.
