Key Ecosystem Developments for 2026
In early 2026, Vanar Chain transitioned from development to an "activation phase," launching several core AI and utility-driven initiatives:
AI-Native Infrastructure: On January 19, 2026, the platform unveiled its comprehensive AI-native stack, featuring the Kayon AI engine for decentralized inference and Neutron for 500x on-chain data compression.
Subscription Utility Model: Starting in Q1 2026, core tools like myNeutron shifted to a subscription model paid in VANRY. This model includes a deflationary mechanism where a portion of fees is burned and another portion is distributed to stakers.
VGN Gaming Network Expansion: The network added 12+ new games in early 2026, resulting in an 89% increase in developer activity compared to 2025.
Governance 2.0: Disclosed in February 2026, this upgrade allows token holders to directly adjust AI model parameters and smart contract cost calibrations.
Strategic Partnerships & Technology
Vanar leverages high-performance infrastructure to bridge Web2 brands into Web3:
NVIDIA Inception Program: Provides computational power for high-fidelity metaverses and AI model training.
Google Cloud: Uses carbon-neutral infrastructure to power its Vanar ECO module, enabling brands to track their real-time energy footprint.
Worldpay Collaboration: Focuses on "PayFi" and agentic payments, where AI agents can autonomously settle cross-border logistics and maintenance fees.
Tokenomics (VANRY)
Circulating Supply: ~2.29 billion VANRY (out of a max supply of 2.40 billion).
Usage: Serves as the "gas" for the network, payment for AI tool subscriptions, and a governance token.
Origins: VANRY was created through a 1:1 token swap from the original Virtua ($TVK) token to align with the new L1 infrastructure.
