Vanar the way I look at any L1 that says it’s built for “real adoption” — not with blind hype, but by asking myself if the token setup actually matches the story they’re selling. Because if the supply side is messy, price gets punished no matter how good the narrative sounds. And with Vanar, I can see what they’re trying to do: they want a chain that makes sense for mainstream lanes like games, entertainment, brands, and consumer products, and they talk like they’re aiming for the next billions of users, not just the same small crypto crowd. It feels like they’re trying to build something that doesn’t look weird to normal people, and I respect that direction, but I’m also watching the part that really hurts traders when they ignore it: supply, emissions, unlock behavior, and who’s likely to sell.
Here’s what I’m seeing, in the simplest way. The VANRY token is designed with a hard cap idea, and the project’s own whitepaper makes that clear. Quotation: “maximum supply capped at 2.4 billion tokens” : that’s their stated ceiling, and it matters because a clear ceiling is better than endless inflation. The whitepaper also explains the big split in a way that’s supposed to feel clean: 1.2 billion minted at genesis and tied to the earlier token swap logic, and then another 1.2 billion that comes out over time as block rewards across a long time horizon. Quotation: “1.2 billion tokens will be minted at the genesis” : and Quotation: “each new block produced over a span of 20 years” : so the long-term pressure isn’t meant to be one giant cliff, it’s meant to be a controlled drip.
The emotional part for me is this line they include about the ongoing issuance bucket. Quotation: “83%… validator rewards — 13%… development rewards — 4%… community incentives — No team tokens will be allocated.” : that is a very intentional message. They’re basically saying, “We’re not building a structure where the team has a constant guaranteed faucet from the new issuance pool.” If you’ve been in this market long enough, you know why that matters. A lot of projects say “community” and then the chart bleeds because insiders keep getting fed. When I read “no team tokens” in the emissions allocation context, it feels like they’re trying to avoid the worst version of that story.
But I’m not going to fake clarity where it doesn’t exist. If you’re trading this, you must know something important: different big trackers show different circulating supply pictures, and that makes people nervous, and nervous markets dump faster. Some places show circulating supply close to the max cap, while other places show a much smaller circulating figure. This doesn’t automatically mean anyone is lying, but it does mean the supply story is not “one number that everybody agrees on,” and when the market senses uncertainty, it prices that uncertainty in a brutal way. This is why I keep saying supply is not a boring side topic. Supply is the pressure.
Now let’s talk about “unlocks” in the way that actually matters. A lot of people hear “unlock” and they imagine one dramatic date where millions of tokens hit the market and everything collapses. That can happen with some projects, but with VANRY the deeper pressure looks more like steady emissions. If block rewards are minting regularly, that is a daily unlock in slow motion. Validators earn tokens. Stakers earn tokens. Programs distribute tokens. And then the real question becomes simple: do they hold, or do they sell. Most participants sell at least some rewards because rewards feel like “extra money,” and people take profits or cover costs. That’s normal. So the sell pressure doesn’t need a scary calendar date to exist — it can exist every day.
So what causes dumps here, in the most real-world way. Dumps happen when sellers become forced sellers and buyers aren’t motivated enough to catch the supply. If rewards emissions are flowing and most recipients sell quickly, rallies start to feel capped and every pump gets slapped down. If liquidity is thin, even normal selling looks like a crash. If incentive distributions go to people who don’t care about the long-term story, they treat it like free cash and dump it fast. And if the wider market is risk-off, smaller tokens get hit harder because buyers disappear first. It’s not dramatic, it’s just mechanics.
And what absorbs sells, the part that actually changes the life of a token. Buyers absorb sells when the token becomes needed, not just hoped for. If real usage grows, fees and activity can create natural demand that helps digest emissions. If staking participation becomes sticky, less supply floats around ready to panic sell. If products keep shipping in a way that brings users who don’t live inside charts, selling pressure becomes less violent because the market isn’t only made of short-term traders fighting each other. That’s why I pay attention to whether the ecosystem is creating real reasons to use the chain, not just reasons to talk about it.
In the last 24 hours, the token itself has moved up modestly — not a screaming mania move, more like a cautious lift where buyers are present and sellers didn’t overpower them today. That kind of move can feel small, but it tells you something: when a token can move up without crazy volume, it often means supply isn’t being aggressively dumped at that exact moment. Still, I don’t fall in love with one day. One day is a mood. Supply pressure is a lifestyle.
If I’m being completely honest, the main thing I want from Vanar going forward is not a louder story, it’s a clearer supply perception and more visible, steady demand. Because when people trust the supply picture and they can see adoption building, they stop selling every little pump, and they start treating dips like entries instead of escape routes. And that’s when a token starts acting like it belongs to something growing, instead of acting like a chart that’s constantly under attack.
I’m not here to promise you anything. I’m here to tell you what it feels like from the outside looking in. It feels like they’re trying to build for normal users and mainstream lanes, and it feels like the token design is aiming to avoid the ugliest insider-drip model, and that’s a good start. But the market doesn’t reward good starts forever. The market rewards results. If they keep shipping and usage becomes real, sellers get absorbed and the token story gets stronger. If they don’t, emissions and distribution will keep weighing on price, even if the branding looks perfect. And that’s the truth I’d rather say now, instead of pretending later that price pressure came out of nowhere.
