Honestly, I've been catching myself thinking more and more lately, maybe Web3 has just burned out for most people? They promised complete freedom, "you are your own bank," no intermediaries, control everything yourself. But in practice, it turned out that being your own bank is very tiring. In the short term, the effect is one thing; in the long term, I think it can be completely different.
You have to remember the seed phrase, check each transaction, be afraid that someone will hack your wallet, pay gas, switch between networks, wait for something to be confirmed… And this is if you somewhat understand. If not — then it's total chaos. Many are simply tired. Not from crypto as such, but from the fact that freedom turned out to be so responsible that it is no longer freedom, but constant stress. It only works under certain conditions that are rarely mentioned.
This is where the 'fatigue from freedom' appears. People no longer want to be 24/7 in a chat with their wallet. They want it to just work. To be beautiful, fast, without nerves. And at this moment, projects like Vanar Chain start to look very relevant.
Vanar is not just another 'we will make decentralization even more decentralized'. From the very beginning, they say: we understand that people are tired of suffering. Therefore, we are creating Layer 1, which is user-friendly out of the box. Fast blocks, fixed (or very predictable) fees, AI that helps interfaces not be as dumb as most dApps are now. Plus, they are immediately geared towards real things: PayFi, tokenization of real assets, gaming, entertainment — that is, where people are really ready to spend time.
I like that they are not trying to convince everyone that 'decentralization is sacred'. They simply say: okay, if you need convenience and security at the same time — we will try to provide that. And that sounds much more honest than another hype about 'revolution', after which you sit and think about where to put your tokens because using them is inconvenient.
Because the reality is that most people do not want to be rebels against the system. They want the system to work for them, not against them. And if Web3 does not learn to provide this — people will simply go back to Web2. There, although there is censorship and everything is under wraps, you just click — and it works. Without 15 tabs, without Metamask, without 'oh, I chose the wrong network'.
In my subjective opinion, Vanar is one of those projects that try to bridge the gap between 'idea' and 'convenience'. I don't know if they will succeed in becoming mainstream, but at least they are asking the right question: what if freedom doesn’t have to be so exhausting?
Maybe that's exactly why they are attracting attention now. Because fatigue is no longer just popping up in individual chats — it is becoming mainstream in Web3. And whoever learns to make decentralization comfortable first will probably take the people. And I don't quite understand if users are ready for such changes.
What do you think, is there still strength to endure 'being your own bank', or do you really want someone normal to take all this and do it in a way that is human?
