FAQ

The token is inspired by the majestic Arenal Volcano of Costa Rica, a natural wonder that represents energy, constant transformation, and resilient life. Just as a volcano can generate fertile landscapes and new life, we believe that well-directed technology can be a regenerative force for communities.

Volcano Token (VLN) is a utility token, not a financial asset. It is designed to have practical use within the Volcano ecosystem, facilitating participation in hackathons, access to training, and support for impact projects. It does not promise financial returns and is not designed as an investment instrument.

VLN operates on the Avalanche C-Chain, a high-performance blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This choice allows benefiting from scalability, near-instant transactions, and significantly low gas fees, making it an efficient and eco-friendly option.

You can use any wallet compatible with the Avalanche C-Chain network. The most recommended ones are:

• MetaMask (configured for Avalanche network)
• Core Wallet (Avalanche's native solution)
• Any other EVM-compatible wallet that supports Avalanche

To set up your wallet and add Volcano Token, follow these steps:

1. Configure your wallet for the Avalanche C-Chain network
2. Add a custom token using the VLN contract address
3. Use the following details:
   • Name: Volcano Token
   • Symbol: VLN
   • Decimals: 18

We will soon publish a detailed guide with images to facilitate this process.

The Arenal Volcano Hackathons are intensive programming events where developers, designers, and entrepreneurs come together to create technological solutions with social and environmental impact. They are 100% focused on programming and address social, environmental, or educational themes, with prizes and recognition managed through VLN.

To participate in our hackathons:

1. Follow our social networks to stay updated on upcoming events
2. Register through the form we will publish before each event
3. Form a team or join an existing one during the event
4. Develop your solution during the established time and present your project!

No previous blockchain experience is required to participate, just a desire to learn and create.

In our hackathons, projects are developed focusing on:

• Technology-based educational solutions
• Applications for environmental monitoring and protection
• Tools for vulnerable communities
• Platforms that promote transparency and citizen participation
• Web3-based educational games

All projects must have a technological component and seek to generate a positive impact.
