When I first looked at Vanar, something felt off in a good way. Everyone was chasing builders, but Vanar was quietly tuning for users who never read docs.
Daily transactions crossed 120k last month, with median fees under $0.001, which tells you the surface layer is about friction removal while underneath they are optimizing state compression and fee abstraction so apps feel like normal web flows. That foundation enables wallets that hide gas and games that onboard in under 30 seconds, though it concentrates trust in relayers and middleware, which remains to be tested under stress.
Early signs suggest this normie-first texture is spreading across L2s as retail liquidity returns. Quietly, usability is becoming the real battleground.
