The India AI Impact Summit in Delhi has officially taken center stage, positioning India as a burgeoning global hub for artificial intelligence. While the event has been marked by significant investment pledges and visionary speeches, it also faced a major shake-up with the last-minute withdrawal of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. 📉

🚫 Bill Gates Withdraws from Keynote
Hours before his scheduled address, the Gates Foundation announced that Bill Gates would no longer deliver his keynote. This decision follows renewed scrutiny and controversy surrounding files released by the US Department of Justice regarding his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. While Gates has not been accused of any wrongdoing, his foundation stated the move was made to "ensure the focus remains on the summit's key priorities." 🏛️

🤝 A Global Call for AI Democratization
Despite the absence of Gates, the summit featured powerhouse contributions from the world’s tech elite and political leaders:

Sam Altman (OpenAI): Urged for immediate global regulation, warning that centralizing AI power in a single company or country "could lead to ruin." ⚖️

PM Narendra Modi: Emphasized that AI must be a medium for inclusion and empowerment, particularly for the Global South, ensuring humans remain more than just "data points." 🇮🇳

Emmanuel Macron: Called for a shift from "doing more" to "doing better together," advocating for shared innovation. 🇫🇷

Sundar Pichai (Google): Announced plans for a new AI hub in Vishakhapatnam, aimed at bringing cutting-edge jobs to India. 📍

💰 Massive Investments & Future Outlook
The summit saw a staggering commitment from Mukesh Ambani, who pledged $110 billion over the next seven years to bolster India’s AI ecosystem. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei expressed a keen interest in collaborating with India on safety and security testing for AI models. 🛡️💻

As delegates from over 100 countries continue discussions on governance and infrastructure, the message remains clear: the future of AI belongs to the many, not the few. 🌎✨

$VANRY just performed open-heart surgery on a running marathon runner, and nobody is talking about the scars.
​Look, I’ve been in this space for over a decade. I’ve seen revolutionary upgrades that were nothing more than a font change and a marketing budget. Usually, when a project announces a V-whatever protocol, I roll my eyes and check the commit logs. But the V23 Protocol implementation isn't a fresh coat of paint. It’s a structural transplant.
Vanar didn’t just patch their code. They fundamentally ripped out the old engine and dropped in something that scares the traditionalists.

​Frankenstein Architecture That Actually Works
The V23 upgrade is essentially Vanar admitting that the standard EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) consensus wasn't enough for the heavy lifting they promised.
​In a move that genuinely confused me at first, V23 integrates the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) framework while trying to keep the EVM compatibility layers intact. It’s like trying to put a Ferrari engine inside a pickup truck so you can still haul lumber but do it at 200 mph.
​Why does this matter? Because SCP doesn’t rely on the traditional mining or staking wars we’re used to. It uses lfederated byzantine agreement a fancy way of saying a group of trusted nodes agree on the truth without needing to burn a forest’s worth of energy. By shifting to this via V23, Vanar cut their latency effectively to zero. But here is the catch and where the Merge comparison comes in they had to do this while the network was live.
​
Why This Is Vanar Chain (VANRY) Merge Moment
​Remember when Ethereum switched from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake? That was The Merge. It was terrifying because if they messed up, billions of dollars would vanish.
​Vanar’s V23 is the same scale of risk.
​They aren't just tweaking block sizes. They are changing how the blockchain agrees on reality. Before 2026, Vanar was just another fast L1. Now? It’s a hybrid monster. The integration of Soroban smart contract functionality alongside their existing stack is the smoking gun.
​Soroban is Rust-based. It’s designed for speed and safety, not for the copy-paste Solidity developers who plague this industry. This upgrade forces the ecosystem to mature. It pushes out the lazy cash-grab devs and invites the serious engineers who want to build complex, high-frequency applications the kind that actually need the AI-native infrastructure Vanar has been screaming about for two years.
​I’ll be honest when I first read the V23 documentation, I thought it was a typo.
​I sat there with my Tea, staring at the screen, thinking, Why would you introduce Soroban into an EVM chain? You’re going to fragment your own developer base.
​It felt disjointed. It felt like they were trying to do too much. I even messaged a colleague of mine, a dev who works on core infrastructure, and asked if this was suicide. He laughed and said, It’s not suicide; it’s evolution. But it’s going to hurt.
​And he was right. The migration wasn't seamless. We saw the friction. We saw the moments where dApps stuttered, where the documentation lagged behind the code, and where the community got frustrated because their favorite meme coin wallet didn't sync perfectly for six hours.
​That confusion? That’s the sound of progress. If an upgrade is too smooth, it probably didn't change anything important. The fact that things broke and then were fixed tells me they actually touched the metal.

Personal Opinion
​I don’t buy the hype. I don’t care about the partnerships with brands unless those brands are actually pushing transactions on-chain.
​But I respect bold engineering.
​Vanar Chain (VANRY) V23 is a massive gamble. They are betting that the future isn't just EVM equivalence but a hybrid efficiency that borrows the best from Stellar’s speed and Ethereum’s liquidity.
​Is it going to work perfectly in the long run? I don’t know. The complexity risk is high. When you mix two different consensus philosophies, you create new attack vectors.
​However, from a pure analyst perspective, this separates VANRY from the zombie chains walking around with zero users. They are building for a future where the blockchain is invisible, instant, and practically free.
​If they pull this off and the early metrics suggest the transplant was successful they aren't just competing with other L1s anymore. They are competing with centralized cloud servers. And that is a fight worth watching. Not Financial Advice.
