Official Whitepaper
🌋 Volcano Token (VLN) | Edition: June 2025 | Project made in Costa Rica
What is Volcano Token?
Volcano Token (VLN) is a utility token created on the Avalanche network, a blockchain known for its high scalability and low transaction fees, making it a solid foundation for innovative projects.
It was born in Costa Rica, a land rich in natural beauty and spirit of progress, with the fundamental purpose of driving social, technological, and educational innovation through the implementation of simple digital tools, the organization of programming hackathons that foster creativity and problem-solving, and the development of real projects with tangible impact on the community.
From its conception, VLN has been designed to have practical and valuable use from day one. Its utility focuses especially on strengthening communities, facilitating educational processes that promote new skills and knowledge, and advancing technological initiatives that generate positive and significant impact. We seek to empower individuals and organizations to build a more connected and innovative future, using the token as a catalyst for development and collaboration in these key pillars.
Origin and Philosophy
The token is deeply inspired by the majestic Arenal Volcano of Costa Rica, a natural wonder that encapsulates the essence of energy, constant transformation, and resilient life. Just as a volcano, with its internal force, can generate fertile landscapes and give rise to new life, we firmly believe that technology, when well-directed and used with purpose, has the power to be a deeply regenerative force for communities and society.
VLN was born with the clear mission of igniting new ideas, connecting diverse talents, and rewarding tangible action and real impact. Beyond being a simple digital tool, it seeks to be a catalyst for sustainable development, promoting collaboration and innovation in an ecosystem where creativity and problem-solving are valued and encouraged.
Technology and Wallets
Volcano Token (VLN) sits on a robust and efficient technological infrastructure, designed to ensure fast, secure, and economical transactions. We have carefully selected the network and wallet tools to ensure maximum usability and accessibility for all our users.
Network
VLN operates on the Avalanche C-Chain, a high-performance blockchain that stands out for its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This strategic choice allows VLN to benefit from incredible scalability, near-instant transactions, and significantly low gas fees, making it a very efficient and eco-friendly option for our ecosystem. Its robustness ensures the reliability of all operations.
Supported Wallets
For managing VLN, users can easily use their known and trusted wallets. We provide full support for MetaMask, the most popular and widely adopted wallet in the blockchain ecosystem, as well as Core Wallet, Avalanche's native solution. Additionally, VLN is compatible with any other wallet that supports the Avalanche C-Chain, offering flexibility and convenience to the community.
Development
In line with our philosophy of usability and efficiency, we have made the strategic decision not to develop our own wallet for Volcano Token. Instead, we focus on seamlessly integrating VLN with existing and proven wallets in the market. This prioritizes immediate usability for users, eliminating the need to learn a new interface and allowing them to manage their tokens with tools they are already familiar with, thus fostering faster and easier adoption.

🪙 Token allocation for sale
Amount allocated: 100,000,000 VLN
Percentage of total supply: 10%
📅 Estimated date
To be determined.
It will be officially announced on our networks and website once the minimum infrastructure development is completed (contract, site, documentation, and internal audit).
💳 Participation method
AVAX (Avalanche's native token) will be accepted as a means of exchange.
Minimum and maximum participation still to be determined, to allow broad access but avoid excessive concentration.
🔐 Security and transparency
