Bro I’m typing this fast because I just came off another Twitter Space and my head hurts... same cycle again in 2026. New token, new promises, new “this fixes Web3”, and two months later liquidity dries up and everyone pretends they never shilled it.
I’m tired. Actually tired.
Most chains still feel like they were designed for other developers, not humans. You open a wallet, sign three approvals, bridge twice, pray you didn’t click a scam link, then pay a fee just to move your own money. Normal people won’t do that. They just won’t.
This is where Vanar kinda caught my attention. Not hype attention. More like... suspicious curiosity.
Because they’re not yelling about finance first. They’re pushing games, virtual spaces, brand stuff. Sounds boring right? Yeah. But boring might actually work. People don’t wake up wanting decentralization, they wake up wanting entertainment.
I’ve watched my younger cousin spend real cash on a character outfit in a mobile game and he was genuinely happy about it. Meanwhile crypto projects kept telling him to manage private keys like he’s guarding nuclear codes. Of course he never joined.
Vanar seems to be trying to hide the crypto part. You log in, do your thing, collect items, decorate a space, play a game... and only later you realize you actually own the item. If they pull that off, that’s actually big. Not loud big. Quiet big.
Simple as that.
But yeah I’m not blindly impressed either. Adoption is slow. Painfully slow. You still need actual players and communities, and gamers hate anything that smells like NFTs. They hear blockchain and immediately think “cash grab”. Honestly I don’t blame them, half the early crypto games were spreadsheets pretending to be games.
Most of the market right now is still garbage. Meme coins with dog logos pumping harder than actual working products, influencers recycling the same bullish threads, and people chasing 10x instead of asking “would I even use this app?” Nobody cares about usability until the bull market dies.
Vanar at least feels like they’re aiming at real users instead of traders. Whether they succeed... no clue. Execution is everything and crypto teams always underestimate how hard it is to keep people interested after the token launch.
Wait, I almost forgot to mention... the AI angle. That part is weirdly relevant now. Everyone’s generating avatars and art, and fights over ownership are already happening. Screenshots everywhere. If blockchain is useful anywhere, it’s probably there. A record of who owns what. Not perfect, but better than arguing in Discord chats for six hours.
Also the token — VANRY — yeah it trades like every other token, and yes speculators are still there because of course they are, but the idea seems to be using it inside apps rather than just flipping it on exchanges. If people actually spend it inside games and virtual spaces, that’s a different story.
Short answer? I don’t trust hype anymore. I watch behavior.
If people log in daily without caring that it’s blockchain, then it works. If the only activity is traders and airdrop hunters, then it’s just another 2026 ghost town project.
I’m not bullish. I’m not bearish. I’m cautious.
I’ve seen too many “next big things” already... and honestly the project that finally works probably won’t look impressive on day one, it’ll just quietly keep users around while everyone else keeps shouting on timelines.
Anyway yeah that’s where my head is right now.
