I stopped reading Vanar's announcements.
Not because they were boring. Because they were finished.
Last chain I trusted announced "Neutron layer" six months early. I spent three weeks integrating. They rewrote the spec twice. My testnet code still has scars.
Vanar dropped Kayon inference after I could break it. Not before. I tried. Fed it a mangled RWA compliance payload — Portuguese solar farm, date mismatch, the kind that used to cost me four hours with the gray-shirt compliance guy. It parsed intent, not hash. "You meant March 14."
I didn't celebrate. I checked my backups.
Same reflex from the Fogo slot. Same twitch. When chains finish before announcing, I wait for the other shoe. Vanar hasn't dropped one.
Twelve energy projects. I only verified three. Not because I trust them. Because I stopped trusting my own skepticism.
That's the actual metric. Not speed. Not "knowledge units." How long before I stop refreshing the status page.
With Vanar, I already stopped.
That worries me more than any narrative ever could.
