Most chains start with infrastructure and pray usage shows up later. Vanar did the opposite and I didn’t appreciate how smart that was until recently.
They came from gaming and entertainment. Actual products with actual users. Then they built a Layer 1 to support what was already working instead of building a chain and hoping developers would care.
The AI Angle That Isn’t Empty Marketing
I’m exhausted by blockchain projects slapping “AI” into their pitch deck. Vanar’s approach felt different when I dug into it.
They’re using Neutron for data infrastructure and Kayon for onchain AI reasoning. Not hypothetical future features. Tools that are being used now for actual applications.
That distinction matters. AI integration that serves existing use cases versus AI buzzwords trying to attract speculative capital.
$VANRY Has a Job, Not Just a Narrative
The token handles gas, staking, and validator rewards. Standard utility model. Nothing revolutionary, which I’ve learned to appreciate after watching complex tokenomics implode.
Supply allocation supports community growth and network security. The goal isn’t to pump token price through artificial scarcity. It’s to align incentives for long-term ecosystem development.
Connecting Web2 Brands Was Always the Hard Part
Vanar’s roadmap focuses on bringing traditional brands, users, and revenue into Web3. That’s the challenge most chains completely ignore while chasing crypto-native adoption.
Real demand comes from outside crypto. From brands that have existing audiences. From users who don’t know or care what blockchain they’re using. From revenue that doesn’t depend on token speculation.
I’ve watched too many chains optimize for Twitter engagement instead of actual usage. Vanar’s bet on real adoption through real applications might take longer to play out, but it’s the only path that doesn’t rely on the next hype cycle saving you.
