When I first heard about Vanar, I didn’t think much of it. Another Layer1 showing up in an already crowded market doesn’t really move the needle anymore. Most people I know don’t care what chain they’re on they care whether the product works, whether it’s easy to use, and whether it actually adds something new to their day.
That’s why consumer focused ecosystems like Vanar feel more relevant to me than another DeFi native chain chasing TVL. The center of gravity is shifting. Gaming, AI, metaverse experiences, tokenized real world assets these are the surfaces where real users interact. And those users don’t want to think about wallets, bridges, or gas. They want seamless UX and products that feel like Web2, but with Web3 ownership under the hood.
What I find interesting is the focus on on chain AI and transparent reward systems. If AI agents, content, or digital worlds are actually generating value, the infrastructure should make that flow verifiable and fair by default. That’s a stronger long term narrative than yield loops and synthetic liquidity.
At this point, I’m more skeptical of hype driven L1 launches and more curious about ecosystems quietly solving distribution, UX, and developer adoption. Infrastructure only matters if it disappears into the experience. Otherwise, it’s just another chain no one uses.
