I want to start with a statement that may attract criticism:
As Web3 has developed to this point, the biggest bottleneck has never been technology, but rather that we have been speaking to the same group of people.
DeFi is very strong, really strong. The models are becoming increasingly complex, the mechanisms more sophisticated, and the profit structures more 'advanced'. But if you think calmly about it, where are the new users that have been added over the years? Aren't we still just the same small group of people who understand wallets, understand Gas, and understand risks, constantly trading back and forth?
This is not the fault of DeFi, but rather a long-ignored fact:
Finance is not something that ordinary people actively engage with every day.
Ordinary people spend real time in only three places each day:
Content, games, entertainment.
It's not a trading interface, not a K-line, and definitely not a clearing line.
This is also why I recently started to refocus on Vanar Chain ($VANRY). Not because it has 'many concepts,' but precisely the opposite; it directly lays out a reality that many public chains dare not acknowledge—if the entry to Web3 has always been DeFi, then it may forever be just an internal circulation system.
What Vanar is doing is essentially not 'creating a chain with higher performance,' but changing an underlying assumption. It assumes that users don't want to understand blockchain at all and don’t need to. Users just want to play games, watch content, and interact with AI characters; the existence of the chain should be invisible.
This point is extremely important in entertainment and gaming scenarios. You can't expect a player to understand gas fee changes while playing a game, nor can you expect an ordinary user to learn how to sign a transaction just to watch an AI-generated plot. If the experience is interrupted even once, the user will leave forever.
So Vanar's choices are very clear: experience first, not finance first. Low latency, high-frequency interaction, invisible wallets, in-app assets—these things that seem 'less important' in the DeFi world are actually lifelines in the entertainment and content world.
Let's talk about AI again. There are many AI projects now, but most of them fall into a misconception: they still serve 'people who understand AI.' The AI that will truly be consumed by hundreds of millions of users must exist in the form of content—AI characters, AI plots, AI worlds, AI interactive experiences.
Vanar is not just cramming AI into the blockchain as a gimmick; rather, it’s about adapting the blockchain to generate, distribute, and settle the value of AI content. Users don't even need to know 'I'm using AI'; they're simply consuming a more immersive and personalized experience, while the value is naturally realized and distributed on the blockchain.
This path is certainly slow and not easy. The landing cycle for games and entertainment is much longer than that of DeFi; short-term data won’t look good, and the market can easily lose patience. But once true leading applications emerge, user stickiness and retention will far surpass that of most DeFi protocols.
So I don't see $VANRY as a short-term story; it feels more like a directional choice.
If you believe that the next round of truly bringing Web3 out of its small circle is not more financial tools, but more ordinary users, then the infrastructure prepared for content, games, and the AI world might be the most worthwhile category to observe in advance.
What Web3 needs may not be more complexity, but a real turn towards the user. Vanar has at least not hesitated on this issue.#vanar @Vanarchain $VANRY
