#Vanar Chain stands out as an AI-native Layer 1 blockchain, revolutionizing Web3 with seamless integration of artificial intelligence and decentralized infrastructure. V23 Protocol UpgradeThe recent V23 protocol upgrade in late 2025 transformed #VanarChain from a basic transaction network into a programmable ecosystem powered by Stellar's SCP consensus and Soroban smart contracts. Key enhancements include federated Byzantine agreement for resilient consensus, open port verification to eliminate malicious nodes, optimized block processing for 3-second finality at just $0.0005 fees, and boosted concurrency for high-throughput dApps. By January 2026, on-chain nodes surged 35% to 18,000, with 99.98% transaction success and zero vulnerabilities. AI-Driven Architecture@vanar embeds intelligence across layers: Vanar Chain for EVM-compatible execution, Neutron for semantic data compression into queryable "Seeds," and Kayon as a decentralized inference engine enabling natural language queries and automated decisions. This setup powers AI agents, on-chain finance (PayFi), tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and DePIN networks—optimized for sub-second AI workloads and context-aware transactions. Collaborations like NVIDIA deepen its edge in smart NFTs, gaming economies, and supply chain traceability. #vanar $VANRY
