I’ve seen endless blockchain accelerator programs that are just marketing fluff.
Vanar launched Kickstart with over twenty partners. I was skeptical.
I Asked a Developer Actually Using It
I reached out to a friend building on Vanar through Kickstart.
Asked him straight up. Is the partner support real or just logos on a website?
“They Negotiated My Security Audit”
He told me Kickstart actually negotiated his security audit deal.
Saved him fifteen thousand dollars and three weeks of scheduling headaches.
The audit happened. Code got reviewed. Launch went smoother.
That’s real value not vaporware.
Environmental Validator Requirements
Vanar requires validators run on green infrastructure.
Must score well on Google Cloud’s clean energy index or they can’t validate.
Sounds like ESG marketing but it’s strategic. Major brands care about environmental impact. It’s in their procurement requirements now.
The Infrastructure Stack
Staking locks VANRY for twenty-one days with daily rewards.
Supply capped at 2.4 billion. No new mints except staking rewards.
AuriSwap DEX is live right now. Trade without leaving ecosystem.
Thirdweb partnership makes building way easier.
Immunefi partnership provides bug bounties and security protection.
Quiet Infrastructure Loud Fundamentals
Vanar isn’t hyping every partnership.
They’re just methodically building infrastructure that makes the ecosystem work.
Security. Development tools. Environmental standards. DEX functionality.
All the boring stuff that actually matters.
My Takeaway
Kickstart isn’t just marketing. Developers are getting real operational support.
The infrastructure is being built piece by piece without constant announcements.
If they keep executing quietly while others make noise, that’s how you build something lasting.
Not convinced it all works yet. But the fundamentals are stacking up.
