Vanar makes me think of a theme park wristband: you don’t admire the wristband—you just want it to unlock rides, photos, merch, and VIP access without fumbling for tickets.
That’s the practical bet here: if the next wave is coming from gamers, entertainment, and brands, the chain has to feel like invisible plumbing while still keeping ownership and provenance intact (Virtua and VGN are the kind of “already-normal” surfaces where that expectation exists).
What’s changed lately is the emphasis on usable AI infrastructure rather than “AI as a buzzword”—Vanar’s stack is positioning data as something apps can actually work with on-chain, not just point to with a hash.
And on the product side, myNeutron v1.1 going live with monetization (including card + crypto upgrade paths) reads like a push toward repeatable, consumer-style behavior instead of one-off hype cycles.
Here’s the part with teeth: Neutron claims it can compress 25MB into 50KB, which is the difference between “too bulky to be useful” and “small enough to travel with real apps.”
At the same time, VANRY is sitting at about 2.29B circulating out of a 2.4B max (as of Feb 20, 2026), so if paid usage ramps through products like myNeutron, the story has a clearer line from demand to impact without leaning on endless new supply.
Takeaway: Vanar’s adoption case gets strongest when you view it as consumer-grade access + AI-ready data compression—because that’s how “Web3 underneath” becomes something people use daily without thinking about it.
