The blockchain world today requires not just new technologies but real solutions that will be understandable and accessible to billions of users. The project @Vanarchain offers just such infrastructure — a first-level blockchain (L1), specifically designed for the entertainment, gaming, and big brand sectors. The main advantage of Vanar Chain lies in combining incredible transaction speed with minimal costs, making the use of digital assets as simple as regular internet surfing.

The ecosystem #vanar is built around the token $VANRY , which is the heart of the network. It not only enables transactions but also plays a key role in maintaining the security and stability of the entire chain. The team pays special attention to sustainability: Vanar Chain aims to be one of the most 'green' blockchains in the world, which is a critically important factor for large corporations in 2026. This allows global brands to implement NFTs and metaverses without worrying about their carbon footprint.

Thanks to powerful partnerships and a focus on mass consumers, @Vanarchain creates a space where blockchain technology becomes invisible yet indispensable for daily use. It is the ideal environment for developers seeking scalability without compromising on security. By choosing $VANRY , we are choosing a future where Web3 is accessible to everyone, and digital ownership is a natural right of every individual in the digital ecosystem #vanar .

@Vanarchain Vanar Chain's native token, Vanar Chain positions itself as the world's first 'AI-native' Layer-1 public chain. Starting in 2025, it will undergo a significant transformation from a focus on gaming/entertainment/NFT (originally Terra Virtua) to AI + blockchain infrastructure. On January 19, 2026, AI integration will officially launch, including the decentralized inference engine Kayon and the Neutron semantic memory layer, achieving 'intelligent defaults' for Web3 applications—applications that can learn, adapt, and make automated decisions. The core 5-layer architecture (modular L1 + AI layer) is compatible with EVM, high throughput, and low fees, featuring high TPS and low gas, specifically designed for PayFi (payment finance), tokenized RWA, and AI workloads. VANRY serves as a gas fee, staking, governance, and AI subscription payment tool, introducing a 'buy-back and burn' mechanism: starting Q1 2026, users can subscribe to Neutron/Kayon premium AI tools using VANRY, creating a burning pressure and enhancing deflationary potential.

The highlights of the project lie in the deep integration of AI and blockchain: traditional chain data is fragmented, and inference delays are high. Vanar embeds intelligence at the foundational level, allowing developers to build "smart dApps," such as natural language queries for on-chain data and automated decision-making. The partner ecosystem is strong: NVIDIA provides AI tool support, Worldpay collaborates to promote "Agentic Payments," and Plena Alliance brings AI wallet technology, with Saiprasad Raut (former executive) joining to lead payment infrastructure. Recent activities include presentations at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, listings on Crypto.com, etc., and the EU/Middle East layout enhances compliance. Vanar aims to capture the next wave of 300 million mainstream consumers, starting from gaming/metaverse and expanding to corporate brands and real economic applications.

In terms of market performance, VANRY has significantly retraced from its 2025 peak (around $0.13) to the current price of $0.008-$0.009, with a market capitalization of about $17 million and an FDV of approximately $19 million. The circulating supply is about 2 billion, with gradual unlocks, and the 24h trading volume is moderate (supported by major exchanges like Binance, OKX, Kraken, etc.). Price predictions for 2026 show divergence: conservative estimates average $0.013-$0.016 (ROI about 80%), while optimists anticipate $0.20+ if AI subscriptions and RWA adoption explode. The current bear market dominates (Fear & Greed at low levels), but the AI boom plus the Web3 transformation narrative provides a basis for rebound.
Clear advantages: AI-native positioning is strongly differentiated, addressing the pain points of traditional chain AI integration; the dual drive of PayFi and RWA aligns with the trend of stablecoin/asset on-chain in 2026; ecosystem partners and corporate adoption (such as NVIDIA, Worldpay) enhance credibility. Challenges include: testing community stickiness after reshaping from gaming projects, fierce competition (other AI chains like Bittensor, Fetch.ai), low market capitalization leading to easy volatility, and the need to prove real adoption rather than speculation.
Overall, Vanry represents a potential stock in the AI+blockchain crossover track for 2026. If Q1 AI subscriptions land, TVL rebounds, and more mainstream integrations occur, VANRY may leap from a "small-cap narrative coin" to a representative of AI infrastructure, with long-term value anchored in the "smart economy" rather than pure speculation. Investors need to pay attention to roadmap execution, AI tool utilization rates, and burn data; short-term volatility is high, but the probability of successful transformation is significant.#vanar $VANRY

My understanding of Dusk's future milestones is that, starting in 2026, as I watch the official updates frequently, I increasingly feel that these nodes are not distant white paper plans but key turning points that will truly be implemented step by step.@Dusk

In the first half of 2026, the most significant milestone is undoubtedly the complete launch of the DuskTrade platform and the large-scale access of the first batch of assets. Today, the early testing waiting list has also opened. The platform is now entering a phased approach: first, basic securities issuance and stable operation of secondary trading, followed by the gradual opening of institutional-level privacy DeFi features—such as lending with obscured order books, yield aggregation, and zero-trust custody settlement. The collaboration with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX will shine here: over 300 million euros of diversified European securities (listed company stocks, bonds, money market funds) will be natively on-chain, executing in the DuskEVM with immediate finality and low gas fees (a few cents per transaction), and the experience of large institutional trades will far exceed traditional systems. Once this real asset flow comes in, the frequency of daily interactions will rapidly increase, and the consumption of DUSK as the native gas will truly explode, with liquidity naturally keeping up. The next highlights will be the addition of more licensed partners and the expansion of asset volumes.$DUSK
NPEX is just the starting point; the officials have hinted at discussions with several European financial institutions. If similar-sized securities or private credit are integrated in the mid to late part of 2026, the on-chain TVL and trading depth will sharply increase. The advantages of the Hedger privacy engine will be fully evident here: transaction volume, balances, and order details can be optionally hidden, yet support regulatory audits, perfectly unlocking high-sensitivity assets that public models dare not touch. In the second half of the year, the greater potential lies in the explosion of the privacy DeFi ecosystem. DuskEVM is fully compatible with Solidity, and the low migration cost for developers, along with the maturation of the toolchain and the implementation of incentive programs, will lead to a surge of native applications: privacy lending protocols, compliant yield farms, RWA derivatives, etc. With Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain, assets can also flow safely to Ethereum or other chains, gradually forming an ecological closed loop. The staking rate has surpassed 36%; if application volume increases, DUSK demand will shift from staking rewards to actual consumption, entering a healthier economic cycle.

These milestones come together to represent one thing: the shift from early infrastructure to a privacy financial platform that institutions dare to adopt at scale. The more one looks at the 2026 roadmap, the more it feels like a crucial year for Dusk—not just chasing trends, but the right moment for the awakening of demand for privacy-focused RWA. If successfully implemented, long-term value will gradually emerge, warranting patient tracking of official updates.#dusk

My understanding of Dusk's association with other hot tracks is that as I watch RWA, privacy, modularity, cross-chain, and other directions heating up simultaneously at the beginning of 2026, I increasingly feel that Dusk is not running a narrow path in isolation, but is naturally stepping into a core position where several wind outlets converge.#dusk

First, let's look at RWA, which is almost Dusk's main battlefield, but not limited to this. The industry's TVL has exceeded 17 billion dollars, and institutional funds are accelerating the migration of government bonds, stocks, and bonds onto the chain. Dusk, through cooperation with NPEX, has issued over 300 million euros of diverse securities natively, focusing on compliant privacy segments, which perfectly fills the gap for high-sensitivity assets that the public models (like BUIDL, Ondo) struggle to reach. When the DuskTrade platform advances, it will directly benefit from the mainstream funding dividends of RWA. Looking at the privacy track, the recovery in 2026 is evident. Many projects later force privacy, which can easily lead to vulnerabilities; Dusk is built from the ground up: nodes are anonymous with Byzantine fault isolation consensus, and the Hedger engine offers optional confidentiality (ZK + homomorphic encryption), hiding transaction balances while supporting regulatory auditing. This makes it not only a tool for RWA but also able to naturally extend to any scenario that requires privacy, such as anonymous voting and privacy payments, addressing compliance pain points that old privacy coins have not resolved.$DUSK

EVM compatibility and the DeFi revival are also key intersections. DuskEVM is fully equivalent to the Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing developers to easily migrate and build privacy lending and yield protocols using familiar tools like Solidity and Hardhat, with almost zero cost. Gas is consumed in DUSK, low to a few cents, providing an immediate finality experience that is overwhelming. When DeFi TVL rebounds in 2026, these native privacy applications will become differentiated highlights—public DeFi will attract liquidity, while Dusk will operate a privacy version that institutions dare not openly play with. The cross-chain and oracle ecosystem adds even more value. Integrating Chainlink CCIP and Data Streams, RWA assets can securely flow across chains, with real-time data feeding prices without compromising privacy. This directly embeds Dusk into the Chainlink ecosystem (which has become an industry standard), and under the future modular trend, Dusk's execution layer (DuskEVM) is designed to be separated from the settlement layer, allowing parallel operation with other environments, perfectly matching hotspots like Celestia and EigenLayer.
These associations come together to create a multi-engine drive: RWA drives institutional traffic, privacy builds barriers, EVM attracts developers, and cross-chain expands liquidity.
Many projects in the industry are easily replaceable by focusing on just one point, but Dusk naturally integrates several hotspots, not by deliberately chasing trends, but aligning with compliance and privacy. The more I observe these intersections, the more I believe that Dusk's growth in 2026 will not rely on a single narrative, but rather bloom in multiple areas, with considerable long-term potential.@Dusk_Foundation

My understanding of Dusk's on-chain data is that by directly opening the block explorer, DefiLlama, and Sozu platform, the feeling of 'the project is steadily advancing' turns into an intuitive numerical reality—currently, the activity level is indeed still very low, but precisely because of this, the future potential appears greater.@Dusk $DUSK

According to the latest data (January 2026), the Dusk mainnet has been running for over 500 days, stable without major faults, but daily activities are still in the very early stage. The block explorer shows that the number of transactions in the past 24 hours is around 300-500 (specific numbers depend on time fluctuations), far lower than the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands typical of mature L1s; public mode transactions dominate, and the usage rate of privacy features (Hedger confidential trading) remains very low, under 10%. The number of active addresses averages in the hundreds daily, gas usage is low, and the cost per transaction remains at a few cents, with the network almost idle.
Dusk chain's TVL on DefiLlama is relatively small compared to the whole industry, mainly concentrated in a few liquidity pools (totaling several million dollars), and sometimes it is difficult to track significant growth in protocol data.
Staking is a bright spot: The Sozu platform shows that the total staking amount across the network has accounted for over 35% of the circulating supply, with TVL equivalent to tens of millions $DUSK . Participants consistently receive annual rewards. This indicates strong confidence among holders, but it also reflects that real interactions (DeFi, RWA transactions) have not truly gained traction—currently, on-chain activity is more about 'static holding' rather than 'active usage.'
These numbers indicate that Dusk is still in a waiting period after refining its infrastructure: DuskEVM is online, the two-way bridge is mature, and the privacy engine is in place. Everything is ready, but institutional traffic has yet to explode. Due to low activity, there is significant room for future development—once DuskTrade brings in over 300 million euros in native securities trading in 2026, the frequency of institutional interactions will increase, and daily transaction volume and TVL curves will rise steeply, with DUSK gas consumption shifting from the edge to the mainstream.

However, one cannot avoid a bit of skepticism: Can on-chain construction progress smoothly to that stage? There have been delays in past milestones, and if the pace of developer migration and institutional onboarding cannot keep up with the RWA boom, the activity increase might be slower than expected; while privacy compliance is a barrier, attracting real users and liquidity also requires more licensed partners and proof of application landing.
Early data being low is normal, but a prolonged downturn will test execution power. The more I look at these real-time numbers, the more I feel that Dusk is a typical 'slow-burning' project—being quiet now does not mean it won’t succeed in the future. Rationally observing the official milestones, the potential is indeed worth looking forward to.#dusk

Yesterday, we discussed the Plasma team and financing endorsements, and many readers expressed that these heavyweight supports enhanced their confidence.
Today, we will see how these capabilities are translated into actual products: Plasma One App— a native banking application designed for stablecoins. It is not a traditional bank, but a 'neobank' in the crypto world, aimed at allowing ordinary people, especially users in emerging markets, to seamlessly access digital dollar financial services.@Plasma

The core functions of Plasma One are designed to be very practical. Opening an account takes just a few minutes, without the need for a traditional bank account, supporting biometric identification and self-custodied funds, ensuring users control their private keys. After depositing USDT, users can directly receive 10%+ annualized returns (through on-chain real settlement, not centralized promises), which is highly attractive in the current low-interest rate environment. At the same time, the app features zero-fee USDT transfers, instant virtual/physical Visa cards (supporting online and offline purchases in over 150 countries), and up to 4% XPL cash back. Real-world scenarios cover remittances (low-cost cross-border), savings (high-yield passive income), and daily payments (seamless supermarket and online shopping).
Currently, the app has attracted a large number of users from the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where there are many unbanked populations and traditional remittance fees are high. Plasma One is perfectly filling this gap. According to the official website, since the app launched, user growth has been steady, directly driving stablecoin deposits on the network to maintain above $7 billion. The prospects are promising. With the global circulation of stablecoins surpassing $300 billion, Plasma One is expected to become the 'digital banking gateway' for emerging markets. Imagine: hundreds of millions of unbanked users accessing money transfer to their homes with zero friction through their phones, earning high yields on savings, and spending globally with cards. This will not only accelerate the daily adoption of stablecoins but also drive an explosion in Plasma network transaction volumes—more transfers, payments, and DeFi interactions, directly amplifying the XPL fee burning and value capture. Combined with Visa partnerships and Chainlink data support, the app may expand into fiat deposit and withdrawal, loan services, and even integrate local payment networks, becoming the 'super app' for stablecoin payments.

In the long term, it can drive Plasma from infrastructure to mass application, with XPL as the core of the ecosystem benefiting from user scale expansion. Of course, there are still some shortcomings that need improvement. While the app is convenient, some features (such as issuing physical Visa cards) are gradually being rolled out in certain regions, and user feedback occasionally mentions that the KYC process is slightly strict (as required for compliance). Revenue sources rely on on-chain protocols, which may affect stability during market fluctuations (though currently sustainable at 10%+, it is not fixed). The user base is still relatively limited compared to younger projects, and competitors (such as other stablecoin apps or traditional remittance services) are also vying for market share. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty always exists, especially regarding different countries' attitudes towards crypto cards.$XPL
Overall, Plasma One represents a key step from technology to implementation for the project. The prospect blueprint is clear and powerful. Although there are growing pains, these shortcomings are being rapidly addressed by the team. I am optimistic about its adoption potential—user growth will directly translate into network vitality, and the upward potential of XPL at its current low (around $0.12) is worth noting. Tomorrow we will discuss how Visa cards and global partners can help conquer emerging markets.#Plasma

In the early morning of January 21st, deep in the night in Singapore, I saw the news about XRP's cross-border payment trending again, with someone boasting about 'many bank collaborations and fast speeds.' Ripple indeed focuses on cross-border remittances, with XRP Ledger's low fees and second-level settlements, backed strongly by RippleNet enterprises, but it is heavily centralized (Ripple controls many nodes), has weak privacy, and on-chain transactions are transparent, making institutions hesitant to tokenize real assets for fear of data leakage.

DUSK@Dusk Do not roll the bank alliance, just focus on decentralized privacy + protocol compliance: Hedger makes dark pool trading encrypted, selective disclosure regulation leaves a door open, users can safely hide their cards, and compliant parties can verify with one click. NPEX tokenized approaches 230 million euros, Chainlink CCIP cross-chain is seamless, and the secondary market runs smoothly with MiCA. XRP staking is basically non-existent (relying on holding or Ripple's locked income), while DUSK staking has a stable annualized return of 13.8%. The price is $0.18 with slight fluctuations, a market capitalization of over 90 million dollars, and a small locked supply with high circulation, making it comfortable for institutions to position themselves before entering. Ripple involves traditional bank cooperation and remittances, while DUSK involves European regulated RWA: NPEX licensed exchange support, deep integration with Chainlink, and European fund evaluations post rapid growth. Ripple is heavily centralized, while DUSK's PoS + Segregated Byzantine Agreement is more decentralized. After the enforcement of MiCA, European institutions are most afraid of privacy breaches + non-compliance, and $DUSK provides a comprehensive solution. Traditional custody sees Dusk Vault's zero trust + atomic settlement; they should be worried.

I have held my position for three years. In the middle, I almost lost my mind due to the floor period difference, but seeing the new Hedger demo shared frequently and the increase in asset scale steadied me. Ripple is an improved version of traditional payments, and DUSK is the future version of blockchain settlement. I will continue to invest regularly, refreshing for updates and waiting for the wind. If in 2026 we really see significant assets land, DUSK is most likely the most stable one among European RWAs.#dusk $DUSK @Dusk_Foundation

In the early morning of Singapore, I was scrolling through the new Hedger demo video, where someone was testing the issuance of a small euro bond token. The amount held is fully hidden after ZK encryption, and selective disclosure allows regulators to audit over MiCA with one click. The process was ridiculously smooth.

DUSK @Dusk The Hedger module allows EVM contracts to function like private bank accounts, maintaining privacy while ensuring compliance. Atomic settlement is completed in seconds. NPEX tokenized assets are approaching 230 million euros, and Chainlink CCIP cross-chain pricing remains stable, with the secondary market running smoothly and compliantly.
Staking annualized yield is up to 13.8%. I am also using hyperstaking for customized locking. The mainnet has been running steadily for over a year like a clock. The price fluctuates slightly at 0.18, with a market value of over 90 million dollars. The circulation is tightly locked, making it most comfortable for institutions to position themselves before entering. The European fund evaluation posts are rolling out like snowballs, and after MiCA enforcement, the combination of privacy and auditability is spot on.

Traditional finance pain points: T+2 settlement is slow, too many intermediaries, and privacy leaks. DUSK Vault eliminates all of this with zero-trust custody and atomic instant settlement. Citadel ZK KYC provides local identity proof, fully compliant with GDPR and AML, resolving the contradictions that institutions fear the most in one step. DUSK has been in development since 2018, not one to shout slogans, but quietly building the infrastructure. Community activity has increased, with discussions about STO platforms, EURQ stablecoin integration, and CreatorPad rewards for real-world applications.
The founder's AMA is online every week, answering questions directly. My favorite thing to hear them say is, 'Privacy is not about hiding dirt, it's selective disclosure to leave a door open for regulators.' It's difficult to implement, but they are taking the most stable path. Compared to other cryptocurrencies, SOL is fast but completely transparent, making institutions hesitant to use real assets; XMR has extreme privacy but has been banned; ETH L2 has low gas fees but relies on external solutions for privacy; DOT has ambitious cross-chain goals but a fragmented ecosystem; ADA has many papers but slow implementation.
DUSK does not get involved in those issues and focuses on the European regulated finance track. With backing from the licensed exchange NPEX, deep integration with Chainlink, and accelerated evaluation by European funds, this moat cannot be replicated by others. I have held my position for three years, and during the downturn, my mindset almost collapsed, but seeing multiple Hedger demo shares and asset growth stabilized me. I will continue to dollar-cost average, avoid FOMO, and wait for institutional funds to flow in. If we really see hundreds of millions of euros deployed in 2026, DUSK is likely to come out on top. #dusk $DUSK @Dusk_Foundation

After the rain, a cool breeze blows on the balcony in Singapore. I saw a private message from a European fund manager.$DUSK How to integrate Vault? Zero trust custody + instant settlement is too attractive.

DUSK @Dusk The Hedger module makes dark pool trading highly private, selective disclosure provides a regulatory backdoor, trading is well concealed but audits pass quickly. NPEX tokenized scale approaches 230 million euros, Chainlink Data Streams real-time price with low latency, CCIP cross-chain seamless.
Staking annualized at 13.8% is stable, the mainnet has been running for over a year without issues. Price fluctuates around 0.18, low market cap indicates it hasn't been hyped yet, small circulation and high locked positions allow institutions to position comfortably. European fund evaluation posts are rising every day, MiCA is fully greenlighted, and DUSK's positioning of 'privacy native + protocol compliance' is very appealing.

DUSK's low-key marketing focuses on technology: Segregated Byzantine Agreement consensus is stable, contracts written in Rust are secure, Hedger iterates quickly, and developer migration is smooth.
The community is discussing the STO platform, EURQ stablecoin integration, and Lightspeed L2 planning for these implementations. The team never makes grand promises, and the AMA answers are straightforward; I find them reliable every time I watch. Traditional finance's trillion-dollar assets need to go on-chain, and DUSK specifically addresses pain points: settlement in seconds, privacy maintained, and compliance automated. Dusk Vault's atomic settlement and Citadel ZK KYC local identity proof fully comply with GDPR AML, and institutions nod in approval.
Compared to other projects, TRX USDT is the payment leader but has on-chain leaks; AVAX subnets are fast but transparent; NEAR sharding is developer-friendly but has privacy issues; BSC has high traffic but is heavily centralized; ARB/OP L2 has low gas fees but weak privacy. DUSK does not engage in these narratives but focuses on Europe. NPEX licensed + Chainlink integration makes it hard for others to copy. I have held my position for three years, went through some emotional ups and downs, but seeing Hedger's positive feedback and the growth in asset scale has stabilized my outlook. I continue to dollar-cost average, refreshing for updates and waiting for the right moment.
If in 2026 we truly see major institutions implementing, DUSK is likely the most stable one among European RWAs.
