I started to understand this not because of hype, but because I had doubts. Web3 is such a thing where everything revolves around decentralization, transparency, and where users are their own masters. After all, when crowds start pouring in, that side effect appears – "late entries". Generally, these are people who come not because they believe in blockchain as a religion, but simply for conveniences: to play, to pay quickly, or something else. And here I have a question: will this destroy the entire system? Will it become a strength or, on the contrary, a weakness? I will take Vanar Chain as an example, because this platform is trying to let the masses in while not losing its essence. So let's start with the fact that we could figure all this out.
First, about Vanar Chain. And I will tell you that it does not just look like another blockchain, but a Layer 1 focused on AI. Imagine, artificial intelligence built right into the foundation. There is Neutron's semantic memory, a decentralized engine for inference Kayon. It is compatible with EVM, transactions fly quickly, fees are minimal, and they also use green energy from Google – ecology at a level. Previously called Virtua, and now the focus is on entertainment, gaming, and AI applications. The goal is to make Web3 accessible for ordinary people, without unnecessary hassle. That’s why Vanar is suitable for discussing the "lates": they attract gamers and brands from Web2, offering an easy entry where there is no need to delve into decentralization deeply. At this current stage, it looks quite logical.
And now about ideology. Web3 started with big dreams: networks without bosses, where you control your data, money, everything. Early fans believed in it as a salvation from censorship and injustice. But mass adoption is like a tsunami. Research says that fragmentation in Web3 is both a plus for innovation and a minus for newcomers due to complexity. When millions arrive without that "faith", doesn’t it blur everything? It’s like in markets: late players often follow speculation, not the idea, remember the ICO boom in 2017-2018? In Web3, they chase NFTs for fun, DeFi for money, or just play games without thinking deeper. Unlike approaches where everything boils down to speed, here is a different logic.
So, mass adoption is not only a joy for us. On one hand, the "lates" can give a boost. More people means more money, transactions, ideas. In Vanar, for example, gaming becomes a bridge: Web2 brands easily enter, AI makes everything simple, just like in a regular app. This accelerates real things, like tokenized assets or AI for payments. Plus, they bring freshness – not fixated on principles, so commerce thrives. Experts say that emotions and creativity are more important than tech for the masses.
But there is also a dark side. Without faith in decentralization, people want convenience, not freedom – and here comes centralization back. Big companies, like Big Tech or Wall Street, can take everything over, turning Web3 into something like "Web2.5", where ideals are thrown in the trash. In Vanar with AI, this is risky: if AI becomes a black box, then where is the transparency? Another problem is that people are leaving quickly. Complexity with wallets, fees – and there you have it, in 2024 volumes fell by 19%. Without motivation from the idea, the "lates" disappear if they do not see quick benefits.
Vanar tries to balance. A platform for real people: EVM, social wallets, user-friendly interface – you don’t have to be a genius. In games, Web2 players transition unnoticed, receiving bonuses from tokens or AI. It’s cool: the masses through fun, while decentralization hides in the background. But if AI takes over, then authenticity will go. Therefore, Vanar makes everything modular, open – developers build smart dApps that learn by themselves.
In summary, the "late entry" can be said to be a challenge, not the end of the world. In Web3, like in Vanar, you can let everyone in if decentralization is made invisible but functional. The weakness, well probably if the principles disappear. Education is needed, design that combines convenience and values. By 2026, with AI and RWA on the rise, Vanar shows us there is room for fans and for those who just came. The main thing is not to lose what it all started for.@Vanarchain #vanar $VANRY
