A few days ago, I was having tea with a friend who runs cross-border logistics. He’s been aggressively rolling out AI for customer service and scheduling. On paper, efficiency soared. In reality? Chaos.
He told me, frustrated:
“The AI is smart, but it’s too independent. It handled a major order and completely ignored the special notes from last week. Wrong shipment. Pricing errors. Six figures gone. This kind of discontinuous intelligence is a ticking time bomb in industrial environments.”
That phrase stuck with me: discontinuous intelligence.
And suddenly, the message shared by Vanar Chain at AIBC Dubai over the past two days made a lot more sense.
Previously, I thought their focus on “memory” was just another attempt to ride the AI narrative. But in 2026, as AI starts operating inside real economic systems, memory isn’t a feature — it’s infrastructure.
At a roundtable in Dubai, CEO Jawad Ashraf didn’t pitch blockchain throughput or tokenomics. He made a much sharper point:
“AI as a global growth engine needs memory that doesn’t quit.”
That’s a strategic shift in narrative.
This isn’t about L1 vs L2. It’s not about TPS. Traditional enterprises don’t care about that. They care about one thing:
Can your architecture ensure my AI doesn’t make catastrophic mistakes?
Vanar is positioning its Persistent Memory layer as an industrial-grade safety belt for the AI economy — not a speculative crypto feature, but reliability infrastructure.
Right now, the market still judges everything through a crypto lens: if it doesn’t pump, it’s irrelevant.
But what Vanar is attempting is far bigger. It’s expanding its Total Addressable Market from the hundreds of billions inside crypto to the trillions in the global AI services economy.
That’s risky. But carving a path beyond the altcoin battlefield requires risk.
If, in the second half of 2026, non-crypto enterprises start choosing Vanar’s underlying tech because of reliability, not speculation, then today’s pricing may simply reflect a gap in understanding.
It doesn’t want to be a celebrity in crypto.
It wants to become the infrastructure layer — the Oracle — of the AI world.
