#Vanar Chain is currently executing a major transition into an AI-native Layer 1 blockchain, moving beyond its original focus on gaming and entertainment to support the "Intelligence Economy".
Recent Core Developments
Neutron Semantic Memory Integration: On 11 February 2026, Vanar announced a critical update integrating its Neutron memory layer into OpenClaw agents. This allows AI agents to have "persistent memory," meaning they can retain and expand upon historical context across different sessions and platforms rather than starting fresh each time.
Transition to Subscription Model: Starting in Q1 2026, Vanar's core AI tools—myNeutron (AI compression and storage) and Kayon (reasoning engine)—are shifting to a subscription-based model. Users must pay in $VANRY tokens to access these premium services, creating a direct "buy-side" demand.
Worldpay Partnership: Vanar has partnered with Worldpay to integrate AI into payments (PayFi). This involves using "data seeds" on-chain to resolve transaction disputes and reduce fraud for enterprise clients.
Tokenomics & Market Status (as of 11 February 2026)
Price Action: $VANRY is trading at approximately $0.006 – $0.009. The market cap is roughly $13 million, ranking it around #800–#1000 globally.
Deflationary Mechanism: A portion of the new AI subscription fees and gas costs is systematically burned, while another portion rewards stakers. This is intended to create a sustainable value loop as AI usage grows.
Strategic Partnerships: Beyond Worldpay, Vanar is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, which provides technical resources for its AI and gaming infrastructure.
