In the afternoon, I was arguing with China Unicom about relocating my broadband, and after hanging up the phone, I felt a bit dazed - it's already 2026, why does getting a basic service still feel like a challenge? Reporting the address, checking resources, waiting for the technician, changing equipment... This whole process immediately reminded me of the daily hassle we go through with Web3: wallets, mnemonic phrases, Gas, cross-chain, isn't each of these ten times more troublesome than getting broadband installed?
But this phone call suddenly woke me up: the problem has never been 'Do we need to be online?', but rather 'Why does being online have to be so difficult?'. The crux of Web3 is the same - it's not that people don't want to own their data assets, it's that they simply can't stand those inhumane operational barriers. If this issue isn't resolved, how can we talk about large-scale adoption?
So when I studied VANRY, my first reaction was: they are really hitting the nail on the head. The Vanar chain is not playing around; it directly treats 'friction' as its number one enemy. Through native account abstraction and a 0 Gas structure, they make the chain hidden behind the walls like electricity—just flip the switch to use it, without needing to know where the power plant is or how electricity is transmitted. VANRY here is not simply a 'fuel coin'; it is the value anchor of the entire network: node staking, ecological governance, fee deduction... all aspects are anchored on this, but what users feel is only 'directly usable.'
What makes me feel even more optimistic is VANRY's compliance framework. They have not avoided regulation but have made compliance a part of the infrastructure. This is akin to having built the elevated bridge in advance, so when mainstream traffic comes, it can run—unlike many chains, where once there are too many cars, they find out there are no road signs. There is data support behind this design: during the testnet phase, the retention rate of compliance-friendly applications deployed on Vanar was three times higher than traditional chain games because users are not interrupted by KYC and Gas issues.
But the most ruthless move of VANRY might be the 'invisible chain' thinking. It does not force users to know which chain they are using; assets and data can automatically adapt in different environments—just like you connect to WiFi without caring whether it is 5G or fiber optic. This kind of experiential reconstruction is what Web3 should truly look like: what you want is not a key but a door that opens with a push.
Looking back, the Unicom technician was still asking me 'Are you home from 3 PM to 5 PM?' while in the world that VANRY wants to build, there is no such thing as 'appointment installation.' If the value internet struggles with 'connection,' what value can there be? Vanar might really pull us from the 'broadband era' into the 'connected by breathing' era. By then, the VANRY in hand will no longer be a chip waiting for price fluctuations but rather a pass to a frictionless world—this is much more interesting than simply doubling.
