The Vanar Chain (VANRY) is a next-generation, AI-native Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for the entertainment, gaming, and mainstream consumer industries. Formerly known as Terra Virtua (TVK), the project rebranded to Vanar to transition from a simple NFT ecosystem into a high-performance infrastructure for intelligent Web3 applications.
As of early 2026, here is the essential breakdown of what makes Vanry significant:
1. Core Technology: "The AI-Native Stack"
Unlike traditional blockchains that only store data, Vanar aims to be an "intelligent" system. It uses a unique architecture:
Neutron (Semantic Memory): A layer that uses AI-driven compression to store complete files (documents, videos) directly on-chain at a 500:1 ratio, removing the need for external storage like AWS or IPFS.
**Kayon (Reasoning Engine): An on-chain AI engine that allows smart contracts to "reason" and interact with data in real-time, enabling features like automated compliance and AI-driven gaming agents.
Carbon Neutrality: Vanar is built on a high-speed, low-cost (fees as low as $0.0005) and eco-friendly Proof-of-Stake (PoS) framework.
2. Market Status (February 2026)
While the ecosystem has seen technical growth, the price has faced significant volatility over the past year.
Current Price: Approximately $0.0066 – $0.0070 (down from its 2024/2025 highs).
Market Cap: Roughly $14.2 million with a circulating supply of 2.16B VANRY.
Availability: Widely traded on major exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and Bybit.
3. Key Partnerships & Use Cases
Vanar focuses on "Real World Utility" rather than just speculation:
Gaming: Partnered with giants like Viva Games Studios (700M+ downloads) to bring mainstream titles on-chain.
Enterprise: Collaborations with Google Cloud and NVIDIA provide developers with AI and graphics infrastructure.
Finance (PayFi): Integration with Worldpay and Nexera focuses on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) and secure, compliant payments.
