How does Vanar Chain handle on-chain / off-chain data?
Today is the start of the week, so I tried to see how an application on @Vanarchain Vanar processes user data.
The first thing I noticed was not the speed, but the feeling... light. There aren't too many things pushed onto the on-chain in a forced manner.
Vanar seems to accept a rather straightforward reality: blockchain shouldn't store everything. On-chain only keeps what is necessary for integrity – state, ownership, contract logic, and reference hashes. This part acts as the final ledger, where trust in others is unnecessary.
Heavier data like media, large metadata, or user behavior is processed off-chain.
This helps reduce costs and provides faster responses, especially for entertainment applications. In return, the system must manage the connection between these two layers well.
This division is not perfect, but at least it acknowledges the limitations of blockchain, rather than pretending that everything should be on-chain.
