Today, let’s take a step back from the technical jargon and dive into something that’s been on my mind lately. I’ve had plenty of chats with executives from traditional companies, and when I ask them why they haven’t ventured into Web3, the answer is almost always the same: “Costs are unpredictable, and this just doesn’t seem feasible.”
Now, let’s pause and think about it. In Web2, when businesses build apps, they deal with fixed server costs. The more users they have, the more money they make. It’s a pretty straightforward business model. But when it comes to the public blockchain world, it’s a whole different ball game. Each transaction requires Gas fees, and if the chain gets clogged up, the costs can explode, driving users away. This “pay-per-use” model, combined with price swings, is a nightmare for publicly traded companies that need stable, predictable finances.
That’s where Vanar comes in and does things differently. Instead of focusing solely on transactions per second (TPS)—something that mainly appeals to short-term speculators—they took a step back and focused on building a solid, sustainable business model. The kind that businesses know and understand: one that offers the same predictability and simplicity as Web2 cloud services.
What makes Vanar stand out is its unique billing structure. It allows businesses to lock in their costs while offering users a Gas-free experience. To put it simply: Public blockchains are like “coin-operated phones” where you have to keep feeding them coins for every minute of usage. You’re constantly worrying about running out of coins. But Vanar? It’s like an “unlimited data plan”—you pay a fixed monthly fee and get to use as much as you want. Your costs are predictable, and there’s no stress about unexpected charges.
This predictability is why major players like Google Cloud and NVIDIA have started to take notice. Large companies aren’t afraid to pay a premium, but they do care deeply about stability. They can’t afford to be caught off guard by fluctuating costs.
So, while it’s tempting to focus on short-term market movements, we really need to pay attention to the “business moat” Vanar has built. If Web3 is ever going to scale to millions of users, it’ll be companies like Vanar—who focus on building solid, scalable business models—that will be the ones leading the charge. The “coin-operated phones” of today? They’ll eventually be left behind.
