I was scrolling through another “new L1” post last week, half awake, thumb doing the work. Same promise. Faster blocks. More apps. Big plans for “AI.” Then I hit a line about @Vanarchain (VANRY) and I stopped, because it wasn’t selling more roads. It was talking about receipts. Proof. The kind of proof you can hold up and say, “See? This happened. In this way. At this time.” And it made me realize why so many fresh chains feel loud at launch… then quiet later. In an AI era, we don’t have an infra shortage. We have a trust shortage. We have plenty of pipes. But clean proof is rare.
AI makes words cheap. Pics cheap. Video cheap. Even “facts” can look clean and still be fake. I have watched smart people get tricked by a neat chart and a calm voice. Not because they’re dumb. Because AI can copy the look of truth. So when a new L1 shows up and says “we’re the AI chain,” my brain now asks one thing first: where is the proof layer? Not a slogan. A way to check. A way for a normal person to look at a result and ask, “Who made this? What did it use? Did it change?” In chain terms, proof is a simple idea: a small check that anyone can run. Like a stamp that is hard to fake. If a chain can’t give you that stamp, it’s just another place to store claims.
Most new L1s still act like it’s 2021. Build a fast base. Add a few tools. Hope devs come. That worked when the main fight was speed and fees. But AI shifts the fight. Now the key thing is not “can you run apps?” It’s “can you prove what the app did?” AI apps are not just swaps and games. They are bots that act. Agents that spend. Models that decide. And once a model decides, you need a trail. Not a story. A trail. What data was used. What rules were used. What was the input. What was the output. You don’t need to show every secret. But you need enough to prove the result is real, and not a clean lie. Without that, you get the worst mix: fast infra + foggy truth. That fog is where scams live. It’s where “trust me” gets dressed up as “smart tech.”
This is where Vanar’s angle clicks for me. VANRY keeps leaning into the idea that AI needs “show me” systems, not “trust me” systems. And Vanar’s Kayon push, the focus on explainable steps, is basically a bet that the next wave of apps will need to explain themselves in plain terms. Explainable does not mean “long paper.” It means the app can point to why it did a thing. Like a cashier receipt. You may not know how the store works. But you can see what you paid for. In an AI chain world, that receipt can be on-chain. Time-stamped. Hard to edit. So when an agent takes an action, you can check the trail. When content is made, you can check where it came from. When data is used, you can check who approved it. Simple. Human.
And notice how this flips the problem for new L1s. The old pitch was “we have infra.” But infra is now table stakes. Everyone has fast blocks. Everyone has grants. Everyone has a “hub.” What most chains do not have is a clean way to turn AI work into proof that holds up under stress. Proof that can survive a fight. Proof that can stand in front of a brand, a studio, a game firm, or even a normal user who just wants to know, “Is this real?” If Vanar gets that right, it’s not just another chain with AI words. It becomes a chain that makes AI acts legible. Traceable. Testable. That’s a big deal in a time when fake can look more real than real.
I’ll be honest, I used to roll my eyes at “AI era” talk. It felt like a coat of paint. But now I watch the space and I see the same pattern: new L1s ship features, then wonder why people don’t stay. People don’t stay because the chain feels like a stage set. Nice lights. No backstage pass. Vanar is trying to sell the backstage pass. The proof trail. The why. And if the next cycle is full of agents, bots, and auto apps, that proof trail is not a bonus. It’s the product.
So when you look at VANRY, don’t ask “how many TPS?” Ask “how does it prove?” How does it turn AI output into something you can check without faith. Because in this era, infra is plenty. Proof is rare. And rare things, when they’re real, tend to matter.
