been watching VAnRY expand to Base and honestly? can't decide if this is smart growth or the beginning of a problem 🙄
here's what makes this tricky:
most chains go cross-chain when they're desperate. native chain failed, spread everywhere, hope something sticks somewhere.VANrY's doing it differently - expanding while the native chain actually works. myNeutron live. Kayon functioning. Flows automating. products exist, not vaporware.going to Base from strength, not weakness. that's actually unusual.
the logic makes sense too. AI agents can't stay isolated on one chain. if you're building infrastructure for autonomus systems, they need to work where users already are. Base has liquidity. Base has users. Base has Coinbase backing.can't build agent infrastructure and lock it to one ecosystem. defeats the purpose.
the
#Tokenomics angle nobody discusses:
here's where it gets complicated. if VANRY's AI features work on Base, where does value actually flow?agent uses myNeutron memory on Base - does that transaction touch Vanar or stay on Base? Kayon reasoning call from Base - who captures that? Flows automation executing on Base - value to token holders or value to Base?cross-chain can mean two compltely different outcomes:option one: more chains = more usage touchpoints = more Vanry demand. expansion multiplies value.option two: features work without requiring VanRy Token = value fragments across chains = token becomes optional. expanssion dilutes value.
the mechanics aren't clear yet. and that's a massive question.
my concern though:
we've seen this pattern destroy projects before. Polygon spent years as "Ethereum's sidechain" and eventually realized being everywhere meant being essential nowhere.if VaNRY works just as well on Base as on Vanar chain, why would developers deploy on Vanar? why would users bridge over? what's the moat?maybe Base is just discovery layer and serious usage stays native. maybe it's genuine multi-chain architecture that captures value everywhere. maybe it fragments liquidity and attention.also: 66% token allocation to team and foundation. even with vesting, that's concentrated. if cross-chain expansion doesn't drive clear VAnry, that's a lot of sell pressure waiting when insiders vest.
what they get right:
AI infrastructure probably does need to be chain-agnostic to succeed. agents won't have "chain loyalty" - they'll work wherever the task requires.being on Base could unlock Coinbase's massive user base. retail users already there. don't need to bridge. don't need new wallets. just works.timing matters too. expanding after products work shows discipline. not pivoting in panic. not chasing narratives. methodical execution.
and if
$VANRY is genuinely required for AI features across all chains - meaning agents MUST hold and spend Regardless of which chain they operate on - then cross-chain becomes a strength not a weakness.
that's the bet. that's what needs to be true.
what worries me:
most cross-chain strategies dilute rather than amplify. easier to say "we're everywhere" than to actually capture value everywhere.token utility on one chain is hard enough to enforce. maintaining it across multiple chains with different economics, different user bases, different validator sets? even harder.if Base integration succeeds but Vanry become optional rather than required,
@Vanarchain just built free infrastructure for Base's ecosystem. value accrues to Base, not to token holders.also: if the native chain becomes less important, what's the point of Vanar existing? "we're on Base now" could eventually mean "native chain doesn't matter anymore."honestly don't know if this maximizes reach or starts value capture problems. expanding where users are makes total sense. question is whether VANry moves whith that expansion or gets left behind.watching to see if cross-chain brings mechanical token demand or just spreads brand awareness. one builds value. other burns it.
what's your take - does going cross-chain multiply VANRy's value or dilute it? because the tokenomics only work if utility follows the technology 🤔
