Vanar Chain is a specialized Layer 1 (L1) blockchain designed specifically for high-speed AI, entertainment, and gaming. It brands itself as an "AI-native" infrastructure, meaning it integrates AI logic directly into the blockchain protocol rather than just acting as a host for dApps.
Here is a breakdown of what makes Vanar Chain unique:
1. The "AI-Native" Stack
Unlike general-purpose blockchains (like Ethereum), Vanar is built with a 5-layer architecture designed to handle AI workloads:
Vanar Chain: The base modular L1 layer that is EVM-compatible (meaning it works with Ethereum tools like MetaMask).
**Neutron (Semantic Memory): A storage layer that organizes data so AI agents can "understand" and query it easily.
**Kayon (AI Reasoning): An on-chain engine that provides real-time AI logic and compliance checks.
Axon & Flows: Layers dedicated to automation and industry-specific applications (like PayFi and tokenized Real World Assets).
2. Key Features & Ecosystem
Efficiency: It boasts ultra-low transaction fees (roughly $0.0005) and high throughput, making it suitable for micro-transactions in gaming.
Sustainability: The chain markets itself as "green" and carbon-neutral, targeting brands and studios that are sensitive to environmental impact.
Major Partners: The ecosystem includes notable names like NVIDIA (providing infrastructure tools) and various gaming studios like Viva Games.
3. Tokenomics ($VANRY)
$VANRY is the native utility token used for gas fees, staking, and governance.
Market Status (as of early 2026): The token is widely listed on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Kraken.
Supply: It has a maximum supply of 2.4 billion tokens, with most of that supply already in circulation.
Rebranding: You might remember it as Virtua ($TVK); the project underwent a significant rebrand to $VANRY to pivot from a metaverse-centric focus to a broader AI/L1 infrastructure play
