Vanar Chain emerged as a rebrand and evolution of the original Terra Virtua Kolect project (formerly known by the token TVK).
In early 2024:
The project announced a 1:1 token swap from TVK to $VANRY .
The rebrand signaled a shift from an NFT/metaverse focus toward a broader AI-oriented blockchain ecosystem.
This transition was more than cosmetic — it marked the transformation from a collectibles ecosystem into a cognitive Layer 1 blockchain that aims to compete technologically with other AI-native networks.
