Look, I'm telling you the truth — so many moments come in the crypto space when you think "Ah, I won't do it now, let's see later." And then a few months later you see everyone celebrating their airdrop on Twitter, and you're just sitting there watching. Vanar Chain's Phase 1 is now standing exactly at that point where you have only a few days left — until February 4.
Now you might be thinking, "Oh, another testnet campaign, what's going to happen with this?" But in my opinion, Vanar Chain is a bit different. They've partnered with Google Cloud, building carbon-neutral infrastructure, and the way their ecosystem is developing — it seems like this isn't just another "try and see" project. And most importantly, looking at their Phase 1 rewards structure, it seems early participants will really get an advantage. If you pay attention, you'll see that in these types of programs, those who come at the last moment usually get crumbs, not the main course.
So let's go a bit deeper and understand why you should make your move right now.
Phase1 Ending Countdown Has Started, If You Don't Move Now You Might Miss the Opportunity
In my experience, the first phases of blockchain projects are always the most rewarding. Why? Because there are fewer participants then, the reward pool is relatively larger, and the project team wants the community to get a strong foundation.
The reward pool allocated in Vanar's Phase 1 will permanently close after February 4. Meaning, if you miss this deadline, you won't get anything from this specific allocation. Phase 2 will come, yes — but there you might have to compete more, fulfill tougher requirements.
Let me give you an example. When Arbitrum launched their testnet, a friend of mine joined early and did transactions regularly. Later when the airdrop was announced, he received about 1200+ ARB tokens, whose value was several thousand dollars at the time. Another person who was in our group, he thought "I'll do it later," and did some transactions in the last two weeks. Result? He wasn't even eligible. This is the power of timing.
Now three days are left. Three days. If you give focused effort in this time, maybe you can still secure a place in Top 100 or Top 200. But if you wait one more day, another day... then everything will be over. And then only regret will remain.
Think realistically — do you want to tell yourself six months or a year later, "Ah, I only needed three days, but I didn't do it?" I don't think so.
Last Chance Before February 4, Top 100 Rank Is Within Your Reach
Top 100 ranking might sound a bit intimidating, right? It seems like it's only for hardcore participants or those who are working on it day and night. But actually, if you move forward with a bit of strategy, it's much more achievable than it seems.
I've been observing Vanar's leaderboard for the past few days (yes, I'm a bit of a geek that way), and I'm seeing that to get into Top 100 now you need approximately 15,000 to 20,000 points. Now this might seem like a big number, but let me break it down a bit.
If you can make an average of 700-1000 points daily in these three days (which is possible if you do all daily tasks, bring some referrals, and stay active in community activities), then you can add 2100-3000 points. Now if you're already at 12,000 or 13,000 points, then you can easily move into Top 100.
Truthfully, it's not impossible at all. I've seen people in Discord gain 5000+ points last week just by giving concentrated effort.
And what does being in Top 100 mean? Look, it's not just bragging rights. When most projects do their final reward distribution, Top 100 participants get a significant bonus — sometimes 3x, sometimes 5x or even more. Plus, you'll get exclusive NFT badges, which can later be useful for whitelist access or future drops.
A friend of mine was in the Top 50 of Layer Zero's testnet. When the airdrop happened, he received 8000+ ZRO tokens, where the average participant received 500-1000. This difference is the value of Top ranking.
So the question is — can you give three days of serious effort to improve your position? I'd say, it's worth it. Absolutely.
Big Rewards for Early Contributors, Are You on the List?
Look, there's an unwritten rule in the blockchain industry — those who come early get disproportionately rewarded. This might seem a bit unfair, but actually it's a deliberate strategy that project teams take to incentivize their early believers.
Vanar Chain seems to be following this principle. Those who were active from the beginning of Phase 1 are now getting Early Bird Bonus (10-20% extra points on each task), Genesis NFT (which has future utility), and a loyalty multiplier that's giving them bonuses on all their subsequent activities.
Now if you're a new participant, you won't get these specific bonuses. But — and this is a big "but" — you'll still count as a Phase 1 contributor. And later when Vanar launches their full mainnet or does token distribution, "Phase 1 participants" might be a separate category.
Let me give you the example of Starknet. Those who joined in the first six months of testnet received significantly more tokens compared to later users — on average about 600 STRK more, whose value at launch price was several thousand dollars. This difference didn't come because they did more transactions, but because they were early.
If you're not on the list yet, it's still not all over. The last three days of Phase 1 can still give you an "early contributor" status, which Phase 2 or Phase 3 participants won't get. This is your window. Small, but still open.
I'm telling you the truth, if I were in your place, I would give maximum effort in these three days. Because doing a bit more work now is much better than regretting later.
Vanar Chain's First Phase Can Change Your Position
You know, one thing I've seen repeatedly in crypto space — first phase almost always matters the most. Many people think "Okay, so what if I missed this phase, I'll enter the next phase." But the reality is, in the next phases the entry barrier increases, competition grows, and relative rewards decrease.
Let me share one of my own experiences. In 2022, Aptos testnet launched. I was busy with work for the first two weeks, so I thought "I'll do it later." I did some transactions the day before Phase 1 ended, but I became properly active in Phase 2. Result? 80% of those who were Phase 1 participants received the mainnet airdrop, but since I was mainly a Phase 2 participant, I wasn't in that primary distribution. It was a costly mistake, both financially and psychologically.
In Vanar's case, those who are in Phase 1 are getting a foundation that will be useful later. Think of it like a building. If you start from the ground floor, you understand the entire structure. But if you come and join on the third floor, you might not get that depth.
And it's not just about rewards, it's also about position. Those who are there from Phase 1 develop credibility in the community. Later when there's governance voting, or when some exclusive opportunities come, these early participants get preference. This is the network effect — the earlier you come, the more influence you'll have.
So these three days — it's not just about earning points. It's a strategic positioning that will impact your entire Vanar journey. If you notice top crypto influencers, you'll see they were almost always early adopters of some project or another.
Those Who Entered Earlier Will Stay Ahead, Time Is Very Short
Alright, I'll be completely honest with you. At this moment if you look at the leaderboard, you'll see that the Top 10 positions are almost locked. These people have been consistently active since the beginning of January, maybe making 800-1200 points daily, and catching them is now virtually impossible in three days.
But — and this is important — Top 100 or even Top 50 is still reachable if you approach strategically.
I've done a bit of data crunching (yes, I'm that boring type who sits with Excel sheets). Currently those who are in the rank 80-120 range, their point difference is very small — sometimes just 500-1000 points. These positions are shuffling daily, because competition is tight here.
Let me do a simple calculation. Suppose you're now at rank 115. To get into Top 100 you'll need approximately 1500-2000 extra points in three days. This means 500-700 points daily. Now is this possible? Absolutely. How?
- If you properly complete daily tasks: 200-300 points
- Community activities (Discord, Twitter engagement): 100-150 points
- If you can bring 2-3 referrals in three days: 1000-1500 points
- Participate in bonus quests or special events: 200-500 points
See? It's tight, but definitely doable. But it requires focus and consistency.
An acquaintance of mine was at rank 200+ in the Layer Zero testnet last week. He did aggressive grinding in the final four days, completed all tasks, ran a mini referral campaign and moved to Top 80. It's possible, but only if you're serious.
Time is short, yes. But not impossible. However, you don't have the luxury to wait another day. Now or never.
Smart Players Are Taking Action Before Phase 1 Closes
I've been lurking in Vanar's Telegram and Discord groups for the past few days, and one thing is clear — experienced players have already shifted into high gear. They're not new to crypto space; they know how to maximize these opportunities.
What I'm observing is that smart players are now following three main strategies:
First, they've systematized point farming.I've seen some people create Google Sheets where they're tracking all tasks, their point values, and completion status. This might sound over-the-top, but honestly it's smart. When you have limited time, you can't afford to miss any high-value task.
Someone shared their spreadsheet on Discord (anonymously), and I saw they'd even set timers so they could claim tasks right at the daily reset. Extreme? Maybe. But effective? Definitely.
Second, they're strengthening their referral game. Vanar's referral program is pretty generous — each active referral can give 500-1000 points, plus you get a percentage of what your referrals do. Smart players are now actively promoting their referral links on their Twitter, Facebook groups, or crypto communities.
I spoke in DM with someone who said in the last two days he brought 7 active referrals just by posting in his college crypto club. That gave him about 4000+ points. Game changer, basically.
Third, they're increasing NFT minting and ecosystem participation.Some users have understood that minting NFTs in Vanar's ecosystem or interacting with their partner projects is giving extra points. Plus, these NFTs might have future utility.
My point is — the gap between casual participants and serious grinders is now widening. If you take a casual approach in these last three days, you might get some points, but there won't be meaningful position gain. But if you learn from these smart players and implement some strategies, you can still make a significant jump.
Truthfully, success here isn't just about luck. It's about strategy and execution. And these strategies aren't secret — they're available to everyone. The question is, will you implement them?
Top 100 Glory Isn't Just Luck, Timing Is the Real Deal
"Right place, right time" — I know this sounds like a cliché, but in crypto it's actually true. And the interesting thing is, most people think it's just about luck, but actually it's largely about deliberate positioning.
Let me tell you, most of those who are in the Top 100 aren't lucky — they were prepared and took timely action. They were probably following Vanar's announcements, joined from the first day, and were consistently active. This isn't luck, this is discipline.
But there's another aspect of timing that can still work in your favor. We're now at the very end of Phase 1. Many who were initially active might now have become a bit complacent, thinking their position is secure. And this is your opportunity.
In my experience, those who give an intensive push in the last few days of programs often get surprising results. Because many assume "there's no use doing anything now," so they slow down. But if you do the opposite — ramp up — then you'll stand out.
Analysis of Layer Zero and zkSync airdrop data shows that those who were highly active in the last two weeks of the program had a much higher eligibility rate — about 30%, where the overall average was 15-20%. This isn't coincidental. It's a combination of timing and effort.
So now you're in exactly that critical window. The next 72 hours can be make-or-break for you. Will you be the person who capitalizes on this timing, or will you be the person who later says "Ah, I had the chance"?
I think, you've read this far means you're already interested. Now just action is needed. And there's time, but not too much.
If You Miss This Phase, Entering the Next Step Might Be Difficult
Look, I won't mislead you by saying "this is the last chance, there's nothing after this." Phase 2 will come, surely. But what I can say with certainty — Phase 2 will be significantly different.
First, awareness will increase. When Phase 1 rewards are distributed and people flex about their gains on Twitter, thousands of new people will enter. What was a relatively quiet testnet program will become highly competitive.
Let me share the example of Celestia because it's very relevant. In Celestia's testnet Phase 1, anyone could participate — there were no requirements. But when Phase 2 was announced, suddenly only the Top 500 performers of Phase 1 were invited. Everyone else? Out of luck. Those who skipped Phase 1 or did it casually were excluded from the entire incentive program.
Now I'm not saying Vanar will do exactly the same, but see the pattern — projects want to reward their committed participants, and Phase 1 is the time to demonstrate that commitment.
Second, requirements might increase. In Phase 2 there might be minimum holdings required, or staking requirements, or more complex tasks that are much more time-consuming. What you can do now in 30 minutes, later that might take 3 hours.
And third — and this seems most important to me — there's a psychological and social advantage to being in Phase 1. When you can say "I was there from Phase 1," that's a badge of honor in the community. It shows you were an early believer, took risks when the project was still unproven.
My personal opinion is, missing Phase 1 would be a strategic mistake if you're interested in the Vanar ecosystem long-term. Yes, you can enter later, but you won't get that foundational advantage that early participants are getting.
So, three days. Will you utilize this window, or will you regret later? The choice is yours, but I know which one I would choose.
Now Is the Time to Make Your Name in the Vanar Chain Community
This might seem like a soft topic, but actually it's much more important than people think. In Web3, particularly in blockchain ecosystems, community reputation is a real asset — often more valuable than financial assets.
I've seen this myself. A friend of mine was an early community member of the Polygon ecosystem. He's not a developer, not a whale investor — simply an enthusiastic participant who was helpful on Discord, wrote tutorials, helped newcomers. Now he's an official ambassador for Polygon, has received some grants for community projects, and the network he's built — it's opened many doors for him.
The Vanar community is still in its growing phase. This means, if you're active now, contribute, be helpful, you can easily stand out. Later when the community grows, getting this visibility will be much harder.
Let me give some concrete examples of what you can do:
Simply being active on Twitter— answering questions from newcomers, sharing helpful resources. This gives you a face in the community.
Creating Vanar-related content on Twitter — sharing your experience, giving tips, tagging others. The Vanar team notices these contents and often retweets them.
Giving feedback and suggestions — if you find any bugs, or have any improvement ideas, properly reporting it. Projects value thoughtful feedback.
And truthfully, you won't need any special skills for these efforts. Just genuine interest and helpfulness.
In my opinion, those who are becoming active in the Vanar community now aren't just positioning for short-term rewards — they're building long-term relationships that can lead to ambassador programs, governance roles, or other opportunities in the future.
And these three days? This is your entry point. If you engage now, you'll be on that "OG community member" list. Later it will be much more crowded.
If You Don't Want to Regret After February 4, Get Ready Now
Alright, I'll finish with a personal note. I've been in crypto space since 2017, and during this time I've had many "I wish I had..." moments. Could have bought Bitcoin at $3000 but didn't thinking it was "expensive." Ethereum was at $200, thought "it will go lower." Could have participated in Binance's IEO but was lazy to do KYC.
These regrets are painful, because these weren't about not having money or resources — these were simply the results of inaction. And what's most frustrating is knowing that there's an opportunity, yet not taking action.
Vanar Chain's Phase 1 might be that same crossroad for you. Six months or a year from now, when Vanar token launches (if it does), which category will you be in? Those who participated and received rewards, or those who thought "I'll do it, I'll do it" but didn't?
I'm giving you a simple action plan — if you decide to pursue this:
Today (February 1):
- Go to Vanar official website, create account (if you don't have one)
- Create a list of available tasks
- Identify high-value tasks (ones that give more points)
- Join Discord/Telegram to get latest updates
- Check your current rank
Tomorrow (February 2):
- Complete all daily tasks in the morning
- Share referral link in your network (at least 5-10 people)
- Participate in community activities
- Check if there are any bonus events
Day After (February 3):
- Complete all daily tasks again
- Check progress — how much you've advanced
- If you're behind target, give extra effort
- Do NFT minting or other ecosystem activities
Last Day (February 4):
- Be active from morning
- Don't miss last-minute tasks
- If there's any final bonus opportunity, grab it
- Double-check everything before deadline
Is this plan perfect? Maybe not. But it's a starting point that will keep you focused.
And finally, I'll say — regret is the most expensive emotion in crypto space. Lost money can be recovered, but missed opportunities always leave a "what if." Do you want to live with this "what if," or be able to say "I was there"?
Three days. Just three days. Your serious effort in these three days can pay off in the next few months or years. And even if it doesn't, at least you'll know you tried.
I know what I'll do. The question is, what will you do?
