Vanar Chain ($VANRY) has evolved into a specialized AI-native Layer-1 blockchain, moving beyond its initial focus on gaming. Its "5-layer stack" (including Neutron for memory and Kayon for reasoning) is designed to handle AI workloads directly on-chain, offering a unique utility compared to general-purpose L1s.
Utility & Tech: In early 2026, Vanar transitioned to a subscription model for its AI tools. $VANRY is used for gas, staking, and accessing advanced features, creating a direct link between tech adoption and token demand.
Ecosystem: Partners like NVIDIA, Google Cloud, and Viva Games provide significant Web2-to-Web3 bridges, though the network still faces stiff competition from larger L2 ecosystems.
