# From Versus to Vigilan

Versus began with a specific problem: making hedging more accessible to DeFi participants. That work highlighted a wider need. Investors across financial markets face the same gap between taking a position, understanding its risks, and finding a practical response.

We are becoming **Vigilan** to reflect that broader purpose.

This is a necessary step in building for users of financial products beyond Web3 and DeFi. The brand needs to represent both the intelligence that helps people understand exposure and the market infrastructure that helps them act on it.

#### Our product names

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="250.42578125"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Role</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Vigilan</strong></td><td>The overall brand and product ecosystem</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Vigilan Market</strong></td><td>The event-based hedging marketplace, formerly Versus</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Vigilan AI</strong></td><td>The Chrome extension for risk analysis and hedge discovery</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### What this means for the product

We are expanding from a DeFi-focused marketplace toward a broader risk-management experience. That includes understanding the context in which people invest, surfacing relevant risks, and making potential hedges easier to evaluate.

DeFi remains part of Vigilan. Its users, risk scenarios, and on-chain settlement infrastructure remain important to the product. The broader direction gives us room to serve additional types of investors and financial exposure over time.

#### What existing users should know

Use the official Vigilan links in this documentation to access the products. During the transition, older materials and some third-party listings may still display Versus branding.

A brand change is separate from any account, contract, or asset migration. Any required user action will be described in a dedicated official notice. Do not infer a need to transfer funds or create a new account from the name change alone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
