Plasma's new optimizations from real testing, daily updates on our watch, all genuine talk
First, let me share my overall feelings during this period. I am becoming more laid-back and more certain. Having been involved with Plasma for so long, I have never felt anxious; instead, I have small expectations every day. After many years in the crypto space, I have seen too many projects either rushing to pump and dump or slacking off without doing anything. In contrast, Plasma has maintained its own pace, calm and unhurried, quietly optimizing features, advancing collaborations, and testing new things. Even small adjustments in details show the team's dedication. They are not here to make quick money in the crypto world; they genuinely want to make the project succeed. Recently, a few friends who are also involved with me have settled down completely, no longer asking “when will it skyrocket,” but instead actively sharing their own real experiences with me. This grounded state of being in the crypto space is really rare.
Recently, Plasma has quietly made some small optimizations, making it more user-friendly than before. The cross-border payment feature has added a detailed export function for batch transfers, allowing users to directly export records after transferring currency. Friends involved in cross-border business say it's very practical, and reconciliation no longer requires manual tracking. The wealth management section has also added an export for earnings details, showing daily earnings and total accumulated earnings clearly. Reliable friends in the industry have told me that it is integrating with a localized Southeast Asian APP, which is already in testing. It is expected that it won't be long before an official announcement is made, and by then, retail users should increase. I glanced at the latest data, and institutional holdings remain stable at 53%, with no signs of selling. The TVL has also increased slightly, continuing its steady progress. I am still in my usual pattern, holding a small position, neither increasing nor decreasing my holdings, not greedy or impatient. Some have asked me if it’s worth waiting, and I still say that projects that work diligently are worth it. It doesn't matter if there's no explosive growth in the short term; as long as there's long-term potential and no exploitation of retail investors, that’s better than anything else. Its shortcomings remain the same: not well-known among retail investors, and there aren't many DApps, but this is normal for early-stage projects, and slow optimization is fine. I remind everyone that this does not constitute investment advice; there are risks in the cryptocurrency market, so protect your principal, hold rationally, and I will update whenever there are new developments. @Plasma $XPL #plasma
I started using 'failed cases' to deduce the significance of Vanar Chain
I only gradually understood Vanar Chain while repeatedly looking at failed projects. In recent years, I have encountered quite a few projects that claim to be about 'content on the chain' and 'game assetization'. Initially, they were very lively: beautiful white papers, a long list of partners, and high community enthusiasm. But as time went on, the problems were almost the same - users came but didn't stay; assets were issued but nobody used them; the chain was strong, but applications became fewer and fewer. Later, I realized a fact that had been overlooked for a long time: It's not that content is unsuitable for being on the chain, but that most chains are not designed for content at all.
Sometimes I intentionally pull myself away from the market to take a look at those projects that hardly make any noise on the timeline. Not because they are necessarily better, but because the lively places are often fully priced. PLASMA is such a subject that I keep revisiting. It rarely appears at the most euphoric moments, nor does it actively participate in narrative rotations. Most of the time, it simply exists quietly, occasionally releasing updates that may seem "not very exciting" from a short-term perspective. But the more it is like this, the harder it is for me to simply categorize it as an ordinary public chain project. Later I realized that my continued attention to PLASMA was not because it did anything stunning, but because it consistently avoids one thing: emotional dependency. It does not try to amplify the imagination space with complex stories, nor does it deliberately cater to retail preferences. On the contrary, all its designs almost point in one direction—making the movement of funds more certain, more worry-free, and more replicable. This is quite counterintuitive in the crypto space. Because the survival logic of most projects is to continuously create freshness, making people willing to participate repeatedly; whereas PLASMA seems to be reducing the presence of participation, making the use itself approach "unnoticeable". You won't be excited because of it, but you also find it hard to get hurt because of it. From a short-term perspective, this restraint almost feels like a loss. It is not conducive to creating volatility, nor does it help explain "why you should buy now". But if you extend the time frame, you will find that this restraint itself may be its moat. I started looking at it from a different question: if one day stablecoins really become the normal infrastructure for cross-border settlement, enterprise payments, and institutional scheduling, then what do these systems need the most? Not stories, not activity, but stability, certainty, and low friction. And these characteristics are precisely difficult to maintain in an emotionally driven environment. This is also why my attitude towards XPL has always been relatively conservative. I will not use short-term prices to validate its right or wrong, nor will I expect it to quickly provide positive feedback. @Plasma $XPL #plasma
Casual Chat | Plasma brings out more valuable insights, no fluff, all practical talk
Whenever I have some free time, I write a piece. It's been exactly three weeks since the official announcement of Plasma's collaboration with global crypto payment institutions. I haven't been idle during these three weeks; I've been actively conducting tests, analyzing data, and chatting with friends in the industry to gather a lot of thoughts and solid new discoveries. This is a record of my fragmented thoughts on practical testing, new breakthroughs in the ecosystem, and changes in on-chain data over the past three weeks. First, let me share my overall feelings over the past three weeks. It has become increasingly worry-free, and I am glad that I didn't give up halfway. After playing with cryptocurrencies for so many years, I've seen too many projects where 'official announcements peak', only to fall into neglect and exploit retail investors afterward. In contrast, Plasma has steadily progressed since the official announcement three weeks ago, taking one step at a time without being erratic or engaging in superficial hype. Instead, they have been quietly optimizing functions, expanding the ecosystem, and establishing new collaborations. There are small daily advancements, and even the unnoticeable adjustments show that the team is genuinely working hard, not just riding on the coattails of collaborations to gain attention or deceive retail investors. Over these three weeks, several friends who previously tried to get in have gradually stabilized their mindset, no longer anxiously asking 'when will it skyrocket', but rather joining me in checking daily small progress and occasionally testing new features. This kind of relaxed yet diligent state is truly rare in the crypto world.
Let me first share my practical experience with everyone. I have held VANRY for almost 3 months, during which I did not chase the price up or sell off during the downturn. I made small investments steadily and practically, which feels more reliable than any project I've participated in before. At first, I approached it with a trial mindset and initially purchased $100 worth of VANRY when the price was $0.0055, which allowed me to buy about 18181 units. Later, I added another $50, and now I hold a total of 27272 units. The current price is stable at $0.0058. It may not be a significant increase, but I haven't lost money, and I've also earned quite a bit from staking and metaverse tasks.
Recently, I was helping a friend who creates interactive content to look at blockchain selection, which is actually quite specific. They focus on lightweight content interaction, not DeFi or complex games, but rather a lot of clicks, unlocking, and item triggers. At first, their expectations were very simple: "As long as the TPS is a bit high and the Gas is a bit low, it should be fine, right?" But when it actually ran, problems came one after another. The most obvious issue was the fluctuation in fees. During peak times, clearly just some small interactions, but Gas suddenly skyrocketed, and users just wouldn't buy it. There was also the issue of unstable delays, sometimes hundreds of milliseconds, sometimes directly at the second level, resulting in a very fragmented experience. Later, they began to reconsider the underlying logic, rather than just the parameter rankings. This was also when I first seriously studied Vanar Chain. One point about Vanar Chain that impressed me was: It assumes that you are doing high-frequency, small, continuous interactions, rather than sporadic large operations. In public materials and community discussions, Vanar has always emphasized predictability. For example, maintaining confirmation times within a stable range, rather than pursuing extreme TPS; The design goal for transaction fees is also to keep it within a range that is sustainable for content-level interactions, rather than the "theoretical minimum." We later conducted a simple test, running the same interaction logic on different chains. On Vanar, the cost of a single interaction remains consistently at a very low level, without that situation of "suddenly ten times more expensive." This detail is actually a lifeline for content products. Because users won’t understand "congestion on the chain," they will only feel that your product is broken. Another point is state continuity. The biggest fear in content interaction is not slowness, but state loss. Vanar is clearly designed for "long-term operation," not just completing a single run. Later I realized that many of its choices are essentially in service of retention.
From an investment and observation standpoint, this type of chain is indeed not stimulating in the short term. VANRY's price and trading volume are not conspicuous at all in the market. But when you really look at it from a practical perspective, you'll find it addresses those "no one loves to talk about, but will definitely step into" pitfalls. Now when I look at Vanar Chain, it feels more like observing an underlying infrastructure that paves the way for content and interactive applications.
Everyone always says that Dusk is practical, stronger than projects that just exploit and make quick money, and I don't deny this. It truly hasn't given up, busy all day long, following trends to pilot projects and imitating similar projects to optimize technology. However, this practicality is essentially self-consumption, rooted in its inability to recognize itself, mistakenly believing that busy work is practical. In the end, the more it is busy, the more chaotic it becomes, and the more it consumes itself, the weaker it gets. Its self-awareness is seriously misaligned; it overestimates its own strength while underestimating the difficulties of the market. It always thinks that what others can do, it can do well, but forgets that it lacks core talent, resources, and operational capability. Seeing the popularity of green financial tokenization, it rushed to pilot without research or preparation, and within a month, it hastily ended; seeing others offer trading rebates, it rushed to launch activities, but due to insufficient funds, it was forced to suspend, leading to user dissatisfaction. This blind following has gradually turned into all-around internal consumption. The funds and manpower that should have been used to refine core business are all wasted on various hastily launched following projects. The core business has not made breakthroughs, and it has slowed down the development pace, even leading to the loss of core talents. Repeated failures in following trends have also damaged its reputation, and the trust of institutions and users in it has decreased. What is more helpless is that it hasn't realized the source of the problem at all, treating busyness as practicality and following trends and imitation as innovation. It has never recognized who it is and what it can do; it does not understand that true practicality is about deepening the field, not blindly following trends. In the end, through self-consumption, it has gradually exhausted its own advantages. Without clear self-awareness and deeply trapped in internal consumption from following trends, even if it tries harder, it is just in vain. Institutions are unwilling to cooperate, and users are unwilling to hold its tokens. It is slowly becoming a marginal project in the industry, gradually forgotten by the market. In summary, Dusk's predicament is entirely self-inflicted. Misalignment in cognition has led to internal consumption from following trends, and this internal consumption has exacerbated its development predicament. If it continues to be oblivious and fails to recognize itself, stopping self-consumption, even if it tries hard, it will be of no use, and in the end, it will only be completely eliminated by the waves of the industry. @Dusk $DUSK #Dusk
Casually Documenting Dusk: Trend-Following Internal Friction + Misalignment in Self-Awareness, Pragmatism Ultimately Fails to Resist Self-Consumption
Today, let's have a good chat about Dusk, without discussing goal fluctuations, core competitiveness deficiencies, vague positioning, ecological internal friction, or value disorientation and empty operations. Instead, we will focus on two more concealed and fatal new issues—trend-following internal friction and misalignment in self-awareness. When it comes to Dusk, people instinctively say it is a "pragmatic" type, after all, it hasn't just laid back and done nothing, nor has it relied on storytelling to make money and cut leeks. Instead, it seems to be busy all day long, sometimes following trends to try new pilot projects, sometimes mimicking similar projects to optimize technology, and at other times hurriedly adjusting its business direction, as if it never stops. However, the deeper you look, the more you realize that this kind of "pragmatism" is essentially a self-consuming trend-following internal friction. The root of all this lies in its severe misalignment in self-awareness—it has never truly recognized who it is, what it can do, and what it should do. It mistakenly believes that "doing things by following trends" is "pragmatism" and that "being busy" can earn recognition. In the end, through blind trend-following and a deviation in self-awareness, it gradually exhausts its technical accumulation and financial reserves, falling into a difficult predicament from which it is hard to extricate itself.
Many people say that Dusk is a practical type, stronger than those projects that are just about making money. I do not deny this point. It indeed did not lie flat, looking busy all day, improving technology, signing partnerships, and conducting pilot programs, but the more I look, the more I feel that all this practicality is just futile effort, like a person without opinions, following whatever others do, without their own ideas or expertise; no matter how hard they try, they can only follow behind others and will eventually be eliminated by the industry. Its goals have never been firm, like a headless fly bumping around. At first, it focused on traditional financial institutions, throwing money to adapt to EU regulations, conducting pilot programs for securities tokenization; seeing retail investors in the crypto space gaining popularity, it hurriedly optimized small transactions and offered benefits to please retail investors, resulting in dissatisfaction from both sides; noticing similar projects expanding into diverse scenarios, it blindly followed the trend to pilot real estate tokenization, announcing hastily without sufficient preparation, ultimately wrapping things up in a hurry, wasting money and damaging its reputation. What is even more fatal is that it has never had a core competitive advantage, only following trends and imitating. Others comply with regulations, so does it, but with poor adaptability and no authoritative endorsement, it is inferior to similar projects; others do asset tokenization, so does it, but with an immature plan and insufficient resources, it can only conduct small-scale pilots; others develop ecosystems, so does it, but with rigid incentives and few developers, the ecosystem is as quiet as a dead pond. Without irreplaceable advantages, there is no need for institutions or retail investors to choose it. Institutions have better choices, and retail investors have more promising projects; no one is willing to spend time and costs on a half-hearted project that 'does everything but excels at nothing.' Its token has therefore lost support, and its price has continued to decline. The most helpless part is that it itself has no awareness of the problem, still blindly following trends and busying itself, thinking that effort will yield rewards. But in the crypto industry, practicality has never been the only standard. Without a firm goal and core advantages, being busy is just in vain, and it will only gradually deplete its own advantages. In summary, Dusk's predicament is caused by its wavering goals and lack of core competitive strength. If it does not awaken, does not solidify its direction, and does not build exclusive advantages, no amount of practicality will help; it will ultimately become an unnoticed marginal project, completely abandoned by the industry waves. @Dusk $DUSK #Dusk
Recently, the cryptocurrency market remains volatile, with BTC fluctuating repeatedly and many tokens experiencing sudden rises and falls, leaving enthusiasts on edge. However, Vanar remains consistent and stable, providing reassurance. Currently, the price is still hovering between $0.0056 and $0.0061, with a fluctuation of less than 9%. There's no need to monitor the market daily; holding it is particularly worry-free. This resilience in a challenging market is truly stronger than anything else. I want to share two fresh updates that we haven't discussed before. The first is its Virtua Metaverse, which recently added a virtual social square. With simple operations, you can create a virtual avatar to enter, team up with other enthusiasts to complete tasks, and hold online gatherings. Completing tasks earns you VANRY rewards, making it much more interesting than merely trading coins, and the items inside can be traded for real value. The second one is even more promising, which is carbon credit RWA. This sector has become particularly hot recently, with listed companies in Hong Kong issuing compliant carbon coins. Vanar has been laying the groundwork in this area for a long time and is likely to collaborate with such compliant enterprises in the future to bring real-world carbon credits onto the blockchain. Ordinary people can also participate in small investments, with real underlying assets and regulation, which is much more reliable than those air coins, making it a hidden benefit. There's also a little surprise: Vanar's light node staking has been optimized, with lower thresholds. Even with a small amount of VANRY, you can participate and earn small daily rewards, which accumulate over time. Moreover, team staking allows you to earn an additional 10% reward. Several enthusiasts around me have already formed teams, and they can enjoy the benefits effortlessly. Vanar is currently making strides in the metaverse, gaming, carbon credits, and AI agency payments, with each area having solid implementations. Backed by giants like NVIDIA and Worldpay, compliance and technology are assured. The price is at a low point, and the circulation is reasonable, with no risk of team dumping, making it an ideal time for ordinary people to invest. In a chaotic cryptocurrency market, there are not many projects that can remain stable while quietly achieving real-world applications. Those air coins relying on speculative concepts will eventually be eliminated, while Vanar silently develops the metaverse and explores new tracks, providing ordinary people with opportunities to benefit. We don't need to be greedy; we can either occasionally play in the metaverse to earn some pocket money or engage in small staking and hold long-term, gradually growing with the ecosystem. This is the prudent approach for ordinary people in the cryptocurrency space. @Vanarchain $VANRY #Vanar
Specifically sharing some fresh insights I just dug up — the underlying technical architecture of Vanar, the upgrades and changes to the myNeutron product, as well as new AI agency collaborations and carbon credit related implementations, all are freshly produced valuable insights. As I share, it adds up to 1500 words, a purely genuine sharing with no fluff, and after reading, you will definitely discover many new highlights, making you feel more secure with VANRY. Let's have a real chat, recently a lot of friends have been asking me, what exactly makes Vanar different from other AI public chains, and why do we say it is truly AI native, not just a patchwork solution? Previously, I only mentioned that it is stable and has a lot of practical applications, but today I will share some underlying details that don't require professional knowledge to understand. Vanar has its own five-layer technical architecture called Vanar Stack, which is not just an AI interface added on top of an existing public chain, but is designed for AI from the ground up. This is also the key to its stable position among many AI public chains.
In the past few days, I've been pondering a question: If we remove all prices, emotions, and narratives, and only leave "whether it has been genuinely used," can PLASMA still hold its ground? The answer is actually clearer than I expected. The prosperity of many chains is built on one premise: someone is willing to pay for instability. As long as there are sufficient speculative returns, stuttering, rollbacks, and high transaction fees can be forgiven. But stablecoins do not operate on this logic. They are inherently anti-speculative products, meant to combat volatility, not amplify it. This also explains why the rhythm of PLASMA always appears restrained. It is not in a hurry to prove "what tricks I can perform," but rather repeatedly confirms "what problems I cannot cause." From system design to functional advancement, it revolves around one core principle: ensuring that when funds flow here, no additional mental preparation is needed. This experience is hard to quantify but easy to remember. Once a certain chain is recognized by funds as "worry-free," it will be written into a long-term path rather than a temporary solution. For large amounts of capital, the cost of migration far exceeds the fluctuations in returns; stability itself is a moat. I've also noticed that PLASMA rarely takes the initiative to compete for attention. It is more like quietly aligning with some real-world needs in the background, such as settlement, clearing, and compliance boundaries. These topics are not lively, but as time goes on, they become unavoidable. From this perspective, the value of XPL does not depend on how well the short-term story is told, but on whether one day in the future, when a certain system must choose a "path that will not go wrong," it is already there. I do not know when that day will come. But I know that once it arrives, those who are prepared are often not the loudest ones. @Plasma $XPL #plasma
Casual Chat | Plasma Partnership Announcement! After waiting so long, let’s discuss the new developments and genuine feelings.
Finally, I have some free time, so I hurriedly wrote a long piece about Plasma. There’s big news — the crypto payment institution I had been waiting for has officially announced their partnership! I’m documenting my real experiences after the announcement, the changes on-chain, and insights from within the community. This is a record for myself and a way to have an honest chat with friends who are also involved in projects and crypto. First of all, I want to share my initial feeling, which is grounded and even a little comforting. After so many years in the crypto space, I have been involved in numerous projects and have seen too many empty promises. Either there are long discussions about partnerships that end up going nowhere, or announcements are made only for the price to spike and then drop, cutting retail investors. In contrast, Plasma has taken a steady approach from the beginning, discussing partnerships, gradually optimizing details, and making steady progress, leading to this official announcement. Every step has been solid and without any superficial actions. This sense of grounding is truly rare in the crypto world, and it’s no wonder I have been able to stick around until now.

Casual Detailed Notes on Dusk: Following Trends and Wavering + No Core to Use, Is Pragmatism Ultimately in Vain?
Let’s talk about Dusk again today, focusing on its two most critical and confusing new issues—unstable goals and lack of core competitiveness. As always, I’m casually jotting down my thoughts, saying whatever comes to mind, avoiding technical jargon, neither praising nor criticizing, and not repeating half-phrases from before. Slowly writing enough to reach 1500 words, these are my genuine feelings that I’ve gathered during this time. It might be a bit verbose, but these are my true thoughts, not hiding anything or taking a half-hearted approach. All along, Dusk has been labeled as a "pragmatist", and friends have told me, "No matter what, Dusk is at least doing something, much better than those projects that are just lying flat, slacking off, and running away with money." It is undeniable that it indeed hasn’t slacked off, nor has it relied on storytelling to make money; instead, it seems busy, grinding on technology, signing partnerships, and running pilots. However, the deeper I focus, the more I realize that all its efforts are ultimately in vain, like a person without opinions who simply follows trends—doing what others do without having their own thoughts or skills. Even if they try hard, they can only follow behind others, eventually being left far behind by the industry's tide, and even completely forgotten.
If you break down the development pace of Vanar Chain, you will find that it is always deliberately avoiding one thing: Being led by the market. The paths of many public chains are often driven by trends. When DeFi is hot, they do DeFi; when AI is hot, they stick to AI. With a shift in narrative, the direction immediately adjusts. This approach is effective in the short term, but in the long run, the underlying structure often becomes more chaotic. Vanar Chain's choice seems more like an early acceptance of the fact that 'popularity is uncontrollable.' It does not expect every narrative to ride the wave; instead, it is more concerned with one question: When the wind stops, can the system still operate normally? This question is especially relevant in the content and entertainment ecosystem. Because these applications do not peak or ebb with market conditions. Users engage with them every day, and if the experience has a problem, there won't be a second chance. The design logic of Vanar Chain is clearly centered around this state of 'sustained use.' It does not pursue extreme performance but instead repeatedly compresses uncertainty. It’s not about making the system run the fastest, but about keeping it within a controllable range for the long term. This also explains why it rarely participates in parameter-level competition. In real applications, performance that exceeds demand does not bring additional value, but insufficient stability will definitely cause fatal problems. From the perspective of content assets, Vanar's approach is similarly pragmatic. Assets are not tools for creating price fluctuations but part of the experience structure. They are designed to be reusable, embedded in scenarios, and generate interactions. This design is crucial for creators. Because what creators need is a foundation that won’t 'break character' at any moment. Only when the infrastructure is stable enough can content have the opportunity to accumulate long-term value. If you extend the timeline a bit, you will find that Vanar Chain seems to be making a kind of screening. It is not suitable for projects chasing short-term emotions, but will naturally attract applications that require long-term operation and value user retention. So when Vanar Chain appears quiet, restrained, and even somewhat 'unobtrusive', it does not mean it lacks competitiveness. @Vanarchain $VANRY #Vanar
Continuing to casually chat about Vanar, specifically discussing the fresh insights recently discovered - the Kickstart multi-partner program, optimizations in the token mechanism, and new cross-chain partners along with the details of PayFi implementation. All of this is fresh and practical information, and as we chat on, it easily reaches 1500 words. It's a purely genuine sharing, with no fluff at all. After reading, you'll definitely find quite a few new highlights, making you feel more secure. First, let's talk about something very real. Recently, the crypto market has started to fluctuate again, and BTC has returned to a sideways trend. Many old friends around me are starting to panic, either rushing to cut losses and exit the market or blindly chasing highs and selling lows, ultimately losing a lot. In fact, I've said before, in the chaotic world of crypto, only projects that can remain stable are truly reliable. Vanar is one of those; no matter how the market shakes, its price remains steadily fixed between $0.18 and $0.21, with fluctuations of less than 8%. This is much more reliable than those tokens that rise 10% one day and fall 20% the next. Moreover, I've recently noticed that many smart investors are quietly positioning themselves in Vanar, transferring funds from more volatile tokens, because in this kind of market, stability is the top priority.
Casual Chat|Plasma Official Countdown, After Waiting So Long, It's All Genuine Rambling
Now that I have some free time, I'll casually write a long piece about Plasma, documenting my real testing experiences, fresh news from the industry, and answering several questions that people often ask me. I will avoid all the content I've mentioned before and take my time to write, aiming for around 1500 words. I want to focus on being real and genuine, leaving a record for myself, and also having a heart-to-heart with friends who are also following projects and dealing with cryptocurrencies. First, let's talk about the overall state lately. After playing with cryptocurrency for so many years, I have completely worn off my greed and avoided many pitfalls. Now I adhere to one principle: not chasing explosive growth, not touching air coins, finding a solid project that is genuinely working with real-world applications, holding a small position, and taking it slow is better than anything else. Plasma is the project I have been waiting for, and it is the most in line with this standard, bar none. Although it hasn't skyrocketed recently, there have been continuous small movements, with new optimizations and progress every day, making it more reassuring than those projects that fluctuate wildly.
