Why I Divided My Attention for the Next Airdrop to This 'AI Chain'
This afternoon, I had coffee with a friend who is a developer, and his phone kept popping up notifications. I asked him which testnet he was 'grinding' on again, and he mysteriously said, 'Vanar, it feels different, not just pure farming.'
His words piqued my interest. After all, with various chains and airdrop expectations flying around, something that makes him feel 'different' must have substance.
I took a closer look; before its mainnet launch, the testnet Vanguard surprisingly had over 2 million independent wallets participating, with a trading volume of 15 million transactions. This data is quite honest, indicating that real people are engaging with the community, not just scripts grinding, laying a solid foundation.
My friend demonstrated their newly integrated 'Pilot Agent' to me. Goodness, it's really just chatting with the chain. He typed in the dialog box: 'What was my last interacted NFT?', and the on-chain agent directly provided a reply and a link. He mentioned that this feature could potentially be used to check complex DeFi positions or allow AI agents to execute 'optimal strategy trades' directly, which is very user-friendly for regular users. This made me feel that the project team is thinking about 'how humans use it,' rather than just 'how impressive the technology is.'
When discussing trends, we both felt that the next wave of mass adoption in Web3 cannot rely solely on financial speculation. The chain must be able to handle more complex intentions from the real world. Vanar's '5-layer AI stack' is precisely aimed at this. For example, their 'semantic memory' allows dApps to remember your previous preferences; the RWA compliance framework developed in collaboration with Nexera aims to tackle the tough issue of asset on-chain. This approach is on the right track.
I browsed their official website and roadmap, and found the 'Governance Proposal 2.0' set to launch in 2026 to be quite interesting. It allows $VANRY holders not only to vote but also to directly influence the parameters of the on-chain AI model. This is akin to partially handing over the control of 'intelligence' to the community, which is a bold governance experiment.
My friend finally said that he does not expect to get rich immediately, but is willing to spend time participating in projects that have a clear path to practical application and are seriously building infrastructure. Airdrops and rewards (like their GroV task platform) are just additional surprises.
