With the official release of the V23 protocol in early 2026, Vanar Chain ($VANRY) has completed a qualitative transformation from a traditional public chain to 'smart infrastructure.' This article will strip away market sentiment and deconstruct its substantive content from three core technical dimensions.
1. V23 Protocol: A Dual Evolution of Consensus Layer and Security
The V23 protocol is not just an update in version numbers; it introduces FBA (Federated Byzantine Agreement) optimization based on the SCP architecture. The core advantage of this consensus mechanism lies in its ability to achieve automatic verification and trust collaboration between nodes, compressing the ledger update time to 5-10 seconds while ensuring extremely high network resilience. More importantly, V23 introduces an 'open port verification' system, mandating dual identity authentication of IP and port for nodes, which eliminates witch attacks and performance losses from invalid nodes at the physical layer.
II. AI native stack: Full-chain integration from storage to reasoning
Unlike other public chains that awkwardly access AI through bridges, Vanar has built a five-layer AI stack. The core components are Neutron (semantic storage layer) and Kayon (logical reasoning layer).
• Semantic storage: Neutron converts complex legal documents, invoices, or code into "AI-readable seeds" through data compression technology, storing them directly on-chain instead of relying on easily lost IPFS.
• Native reasoning: The Kayon engine supports direct execution of AI logic verification at the protocol layer. This means AI agents can call memory and complete compliance judgments without leaving the blockchain environment, achieving 100% on-chain context retention.
III. Cross-chain accessibility and deep integration with PayFi
Another technological breakthrough for Vanar is its cross-chain compatibility with the Base chain and other mainstream ecosystems. Through the modular interface of V23, Vanar's AI agents can allocate liquidity across chains and complete compliance settlements. With the support of Worldpay's payment gateway, Vanar is transforming blockchain from a mere "transaction ledger" into an "intelligent digital bank" capable of independent thought, storage, and execution of global compliant payments.
Summary: Vanar's V23 protocol proves that L1 competition has entered the era of "integration." It no longer merely pursues the number of TPS but provides a truly commercially viable physical foundation for the AI economy that will explode in 2026 through native memory, semantic understanding, and automated execution.
