The fact is that most of the population perceives the concept of blockchaionrs as they do sports cars: speed, acceleration, numbers, and so on. However, the chains that continue to operate in the real world are more of payment networks and airports. They do not succeed because they are flaunt. They prevail as they remain dull and hard as cement.
The most unlike concept Vanar has at this moment is not AI or metaverse or low prices. It is more like an underling and less discussed: built-in protocol reliability. In simple terms, Vanar is attempting to work with the chain as infrastructure that continues to operate despite the messiness of the network, failure of nodes, or even attempts by bad actors to impersonate being part of the network.
This is another form of ambition. And it is the kind that counts when you are seeking honest payments, games, and enterprise systems to have faith in your chain.
V23 is not about the features, it is the ability to transform the manner in which the network is in agreement in the real world.
Vanar V23 upgraded version is said to be a radical rebuild that draws inspiration of the SCP model of Stellar which is based on Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA).
This is important due to the fact that FBA transforms the mental model of consensus. Rather than about who has the largest stake, or even who has the largest power, FBA is about trusted sets of agreement, which nonetheless attain consensus despite some nodes failing or acting badly. Any network in the real world is always noisy: servers are misconfigured, connections are unreliable, the network is down, and sometimes even malicious. The design of FBA should ensure that the system is in motion without having to be at the faultless level of the nodes.
It is because V23 should be thought of in terms of reliability upgrade rather than headline upgrade. It is attempting to do this by making the chain stiff such that the user does not need to think about it.
The most practical: open-port verification and the fake node war
To make a blockchain serious, you need to do a problem that is dull to hear but hideous to do: quality of nodes.
Attackers and opportunists can spin low-quality nodes in most networks, conceal themselves under misconfigurations or just pretend to have a node in order to position themselves to gain rewards or cause mayhemloss. The V23 debate by Vanar stresses on an open port verification strategy, which verifies that the node is reachable at the network layer by satisfying IP/port requirements and reward eligibility.
It is a highly infrastructure oriented step. It is simply saying that in order to be rewarded, you have to demonstrate that you are in fact reachable and contributing, and not just that you exist. That is not glamorous. But it is precisely what happens to guard a network against being noisy, slow, and unreliable as time goes by.
We refer to this observability and health checks in normal software systems. Vanar has been using its validator set as a production system not a theoretical one.
The significance of this more than people think: the actual scaling is reliability.
It is not just more transactions. Scaling is the scale of more transactions without failure that is weird.
A chain may appear quick in an ideal environment, yet fail miserably when real customer traffic is presented. And real users are not polite. They come in batches, they give surging demand, they introduce edge cases, they push the system to its limits in a manner that testnets never does.
That is why the attention of Vanar to the dynamic control of state and maintaining the block cadence is significant as a story. When the chain itself asserts that it can maintain a consistent beat as the network expands and the activity peaks to a certain degree, it does not qualify as a marketing assertion, but rather it is trying to gain the sort of trust payment systems need to possess.
And one shall have earned trust during ugly times: when something fails and the network works.
Unless an upgrade does not break the world, programmability is useful only then.
Upgrade chaos is another silent issue of crypto infrastructure. Most ecosystems have an upgrade process that is more event-based: downtime, manual processes, version incompatibility, node operators scrambling to keep up. Mainstream systems do not operate that way. Mainstream systems upgrade work such as airlines reschedule: scheduled, coordinated, little disruption.
The V23 framing by Vanar focuses on providing faster and more smoother ledger updates and faster validator confirmation and helps to upgrade upgrades to something that seems to be a normal process.
That may sound insignificant, yet it alters the behavior of builders. In rare cases when developers are scared of upgrades, they construct less. In case validators are afraid of upgrades, the network will be weak. Users lose confidence in the event they are upgraded. There are invisible upgrades which belong to infrastructural maturity.
It is among the strongest indicators that Vanar is interested in the transition of the term crypto product to the term network service.
Borrowing from stellar is not copying, it is a selection of payments-grade philosophy
The consensus model of Stellar was developed with a highly pragmatic concept: networks must have a mechanism to establish an agreement without necessarily being perfectly decentralized in the first place. SCP is also defined as a method based on FBA but basing on consensus between trusted nodes.
Some may accept such a philosophy or not, but it is definitely much more in line with the real scaling of real systems: controlled trust growing over time, not instant permissionless chaos.
When Vanar decides to incorporate ideas in that world, this is an indication that it aims to be paid a certain degree of reliability, not merely to be cryptolike. And in case Vanar is serious of micro-payments, finance rails, and 24-hour agent presence, payments -grade design is the path to take.
The actual concealed product is network confidence.
This is my thesis statement that I continue to revisit: the ideal blockchains are not necessarily engine-execution blockchains. They are machines of confidence.
A builder ships in the case it is sure that the system will not come as a surprise. A flow of payment becomes real when a business is not sure that a transaction is going to cease at the most inappropriate moment. Once players are sure that the backend will not malfunction in the high traffic, then the game is mainstream.
The network hygiene moves of vanar (including filtering, reachability, hardening, etc.) are confidence-building moves. They make the chain interesting in the most suitable manner.
and drab infrastructure is what the world embraces.
What success looks like
Viral tweet will not be the best indicator that Vanar is performing well. It will be quieter.
It is going to be a developer who will say, we released it and nothing went wrong.
It will be a certifier saying, "Upgrades were hassle-free.
It will be a user who says, It just worked.
That is what the most effective networks do. They don't feel like "crypto." They feel like software.
The reason I believe this angle is worth writing about at this point in time.
Crypto adores sparkling stories. Ecosystems are constructed out of things not sparkly good habits, good security, good upgrades, and good consensus that does not melt away when one is under pressure.
In the V23 era created by Vanar, a chain of competition is seen to compete on the boring layer, which is the layer in which real world systems exist. Its application of a SCP/FBA-inspired framework as well as the emphasis on node checks are indicators of an upwards growing network.
When Vanar continues down this "reliability-first" road it will no longer be a chain with cool features. It will be a chain of a substance type, one that serious builders will want to use since it minimizes the risk.
Ultimately, the next round of adoption is triggered by decreased risk.
