I’ve been quietly looking into Vanar Chain for a few weeks now and actually trying parts of it for myself. The more time I spend with it, the more I feel the market might be overlooking something but I’m not ready to jump to conclusions.
Vanar used to be Terra Virtua before the 2023 rebrand. Since then, it’s rebuilt itself as an AI-focused Layer-1 made up of five components: Vanar Chain, Neutron, Kayon, Axon and Flows.
What caught my attention isn’t just the AI angle. Most chains simply execute instructions without context. After exploring the docs and tooling, it seems Vanar is trying to approach things differently through compression and on-chain reasoning, mainly in Neutron and Kayon. Whether that approach proves practical at scale is still uncertain, but it doesn’t feel superficial.
I’m also looking closely at the token model. The 2026 roadmap suggests that access to their AI tools and services will require VANRY. If that structure is implemented properly and people actually use the tools, the token would have a functional role instead of being purely speculative.
The Worldpay partnership also stands out. It suggests they’re at least thinking about real payment infrastructure rather than staying inside the usual crypto cycle.
With a market cap around $14 million, the risk is obvious. Small caps require real execution.
For now, I’m watching usage, GitHub activity, whether the subscription model works, and whether serious companies begin integrating it.
I’m not convinced yet. I’m just paying attention.
