Imagine a blockchain that doesn't just process transactions... it thinks, adapts, and automates real-world logic on-chain. That's Vanar Chain โ the world's first purpose-built AI-native Layer 1.
Background & Evolution
Born from the innovative world of Virtua (Terra Virtua Kolect - TVK), a pioneer in NFTs, gaming, metaverse experiences, and digital collectibles. Founded in 2023 in Dubai, the project rebranded and pivoted hard to become the modular, EVM-compatible L1 for the AI era.
From entertainment & creator tools โ to full-stack AI infrastructure powering intelligent agents, PayFi, and tokenized RWAs. Vanar is carbon-neutral, leverages Google's renewable energy, and delivers sub-cent fees with blazing speed. It's no longer about hypeโit's about utility in a world where AI meets blockchain.
Core Utility & What Makes It Stand Out
Vanar isn't another L1 copy-paste. It's a 5-layer AI-native stack:
Vanar Chain โ Scalable base layer for high-throughput EVM dApps.
Neutron โ Semantic memory layer that compresses real-world data (deeds, invoices, compliance docs) into on-chain "Seeds" AI can query & understandโno IPFS or off-chain hacks.
Kayon โ Decentralized on-chain reasoning engine for natural language queries, real-time validation, and automated decisions. No oracles needed.
Upcoming: Axon (intelligent automations) + Flows (industry apps).
Use cases exploding:
PayFi โ Agentic payments with built-in compliance.
RWAs โ Tokenized assets that carry provable logic & AI-driven rules.
Autonomous AI agents that learn, adapt, and execute on-chain.
The native token $VANRY powers it all: gas fees, staking, ecosystem incentives, and AI workload execution.
The Team Behind the Vision
Led by battle-tested founders:
Jawad Ashraf โ CEO & Co-Founder. 30+ years as a technical specialist, entrepreneur, and blockchain innovator. From Virtua's metaverse roots to steering Vanar into AI-native territory.
Gary Bracey โ Co-Founder & President. Gaming industry veteran with 35+ years. Built iconic experiences and brings deep expertise in entertainment โ Web3 transition.
Recent powerhouse hire: Saiprasad Raut โ Head of Payments Infrastructure. Brings traditional finance + crypto + AI expertise to lead agentic payments.
This isn't a anon teamโit's experienced builders bridging TradFi, gaming, and AI.
Growth & Momentum in 2026
Market Cap: ~$16M | Price: ~$0.007 | Circulating Supply: 2.25B VANRY
Recent wins: Partnership with Worldpay for agentic payments, Kraken listing, strategic ties with NVIDIA, and appearances at major events (Step Conference Dubai Feb 2026, Blockchain Life, etc.).
From ATH of $1.22 (2021 era) to current levelsโclassic accumulation zone for a project shifting from entertainment to mission-critical AI infra.
As AI-blockchain convergence accelerates in 2026, Vanar is positioned to capture real adoption in payments, RWAs, and intelligent finance. Not just another chainโthe intelligence layer Web3 needs.
What do you think? Bullish on AI-native chains? ๐
