V23 Soroban integration gives Vanar Chain a strong edge among AI focused blockchains because of its Rust based performance and tight alignment with Stellar SCP consensus. It feels purpose built for intelligent apps rather than retrofitted for them, especially when compared to older execution models.
When I compare it to Ethereum, the difference is clear. Ethereum still struggles with high fees and slower blocks, and most AI logic depends on oracles. Vanar runs three second blocks at $0.0005 while Kayon reasoning happens fully on chain, which makes apps faster and simpler to design.
Against Solana, Vanar trades raw speed for reliability. Solana can be fast but outages remain a concern. V23 adds FBA style resilience plus Neutron Seeds for AI data, holding 99.98 percent uptime even at millions of daily transactions.
Compared with Sui or Aptos, Soroban really shines for real workflows. Instead of isolated objects, it supports persistent AI driven logic for PayFi and RWAs. I am seeing nodes jump 35 percent after the upgrade, with developers embedding Kayon insights and Axon automation directly into contracts for VGN games and Shelby assets, all cheaper and more predictable than typical EVM setups.
