When a project asks us to imagine a new way for billions to use the web, the right question is not how fast or clever the code is but how people will actually behave inside the system. How does this system change human behavior—and who does that change benefit? That is the lens to hold up to Vanar. The technology can be neat on paper, and the product names can sound friendly — think of a metaverse called Virtua Metaverse or a gaming cluster like VGN games network — but the hard fact is that systems live inside people, and people do not behave like the ideal user in a whitepaper.
Ask a simple question: what new habits does this system ask of ordinary people? If the answer is “more attention, more care, better judgement,” then you should pause. Most of us choose convenience over carefulness when the cost looks small or the benefit is immediate. People will click the easy button. They will trust the bright logo and the friendly interface. They will assume that if something is on their phone or inside a popular game, it must be safe. That is not malice — it is human economy: save time, avoid friction, follow the path of least resistance. When a system shifts responsibility to the user — asking them to manage keys, to understand token permissions, to police identities — the real test is whether millions will accept that burden. Many will try for a while; most will tire.
This is where the difference between design and outcome becomes clear. Design assumes a set of behaviors. Outcome records what people actually do. Designers imagine careful users who read warnings and check addresses. Outcomes show shortcuts, copied addresses, reused passwords, hurried clicks. Even when laws exist, people look for shortcuts; even with traffic lights, some people still cut the line. The issue isn’t the law—the issue is human habit. If a system requires ideal behavior — honest vigilance, slow thinking, constant skepticism — it will break in the messy, hurried flow of real life.
Greed, fear, and impatience are not bugs; they are engines. If a system can be monetized, people will try to monetize it. If speed can be turned into advantage, some will build automation that wins at the expense of slower participants. If privacy looks like a cost, users will trade it for convenience. The question is not whether the system can prevent misuse in theory, but whether misuse becomes in practice “likely” or even “inevitable.” When incentives align with capture — when institutions, exchanges, or large brands can route attention and liquidity — the original promise of empowerment can bend toward concentration of power.
Who benefits when behavior shifts? Often the answer is the actor who already has an edge: bigger firms, better-funded players, those who can automate attention and risk. A game company or a brand that partners closely with an infrastructure provider will learn how to shape default choices. Users who are used as marketing channels will pick the path the platform lays out. Ordinary users will find themselves with more responsibility — they must understand permissions, tax rules, or token mechanics — but less control, because the defaults will favor convenience and monetization.
Regulators and institutions will not stand aside. When something goes wrong — a hack, an exploit, a bad financial outcome — the public looks for a place to point blame. That pressure shapes rules and authority. Regulators will push to protect the many, and they will often reach for the most visible targets: exchanges, custodians, and the platforms that touch people’s screens. If the system’s model assumes self-custody and user responsibility, the political reality may nudge it back toward intermediaries that promise safety, even if those intermediaries reintroduce the very trade-offs the system sought to remove.
When people lose money or get harmed, who will they blame—and where will authority drift afterward? The likely path is toward visible institutions. Users blame the service they used, regulators legislate protection, and the system's decentralizing promise loses practical force. The result is not necessarily a failure of technology; it is a failure to account for how societies actually respond to harm.
There is also a mismatch between empowerment and responsibility. Telling a user “you are empowered” while also asking them to carry complex, error-prone duties is not fair. Empowerment that requires constant expertise becomes a brittle form of power: a few mistakes and the cost is huge. The net effect is that empowerment can sometimes act as a cover for shifting risk onto those least able to manage it.
This is why the simple example matters. In traffic, rules exist but habits persist. Similarly, a system that asks people to behave ideally ignores human habit. If the platform requires “ideal users,” where does it break in real life? The same places every social system breaks: under stress, when money is at stake, when attention is thin. When convenience and profit tug in different directions, systems tend to drift toward profit and convenience. Designers promise that the technology will change people. Often the reverse happens: people change the technology, bending defaults and governance to their advantage.
What can be learned from this mirror? First, evaluate systems not only by what they allow but by what they make easy. Second, look where power and convenience concentrate: that is where behavior will flow. Third, accept that misuse is not a distant possibility but a near-term test. The right questions are not about code correctness but about human incentives: who gains, who risks, and what habits are being assumed.
This article does not give a verdict on Vanar or its products. It simply asks the reader to hold the mirror up to any system that promises empowerment and mass adoption. When a system claims to change humans, remember that humans change systems back. Even if the system is correct, will humans stay correct inside it?
