In early 2026, Vanar began to advance the implementation of key technologies. On one hand, they upgraded the protocol to version V23, optimizing the cross-layer event bus and dynamic contract execution, enhancing proxy scheduling efficiency; on the other hand, they launched a subscription-based charging model, allowing users to access customized services through payment—this seems unconventional, but against the backdrop of increasingly expensive AI services and the unpredictability of costs becoming a bottleneck, Vanar aims to reduce on-chain complexity through 'packaging + subscription', providing developers with clear resource boundaries and incentive returns.
It is worth mentioning their Kickstart program, which is not just about funding projects, but also promotes Vanar's exploration in 'data compliance' and 'real financial scenarios' by introducing players from the RWA (real-world assets) field, such as asset tokenization platforms and AI wallet technology teams. This approach makes Vanar appear no longer just a 'technical idealism project', but rather gradually transforming into a 'blockchain infrastructure service provider'—it no longer emphasizes 'what cool products can be made', but rather 'who can build AI systems securely and controllably on my chain'.
Of course, Vanar also faces numerous challenges. Currently, the ecosystem's activity level needs improvement; the number of real users on-chain, developer retention rates, and external dependencies of the protocol have not yet shown explosive growth like Solana. Additionally, the narrative of the 'AI reasoning chain' it focuses on has a very high threshold, and the majority of users find the understanding cost large, making it difficult to cold start through simple airdrops, games, and other means.
However, from a longer-term perspective, Vanar is building the prototype of a future blockchain operating system with an 'engineer mindset'. It resembles an 'embedded AI platform' in Web3, not meant to attract attention, but to support truly complex intelligent systems. From compressed data structures and reasoning modules to event bus design, every step is prepared for 'enabling AI to run on the chain'.
In summary: Vanar is not the most popular project, nor is it necessarily the fastest-growing token, but it might be the closest path to the goal of an 'AI-native blockchain' at present. It does not chase trends, but instead is paving the way for them.@Vanarchain #vanar $VANRY
