I’ll be honest — the first time I heard about @Vanar , I mentally filed it under “another L1 saying the usual things.” Low fees, scalable, friendly UX. I’ve heard that pitch too many times.
But after watching it for a while, something felt… different.
What I noticed first wasn’t the tech. It was who kept showing up around it. Games people. Entertainment folks. Brands that don’t normally touch raw crypto infrastructure. That’s when #Vanar started making more sense to me. It doesn’t really feel like a chain trying to impress developers. It feels like a chain trying to not scare normal users away.
At first, I wasn’t sure how real that was. But then you look at things like Virtua Metaverse or the VGN games network and you realize the focus is very consumer-first. Less wallet gymnastics. Less friction. Stuff that actually feels usable.
Fees are low, yes. Scalability is there, sure. But the bigger thing for me is the UX mindset. It feels built for people who don’t want to learn crypto just to use an app.
That said, one thing still bothers me. Consumer chains live or die by execution. You need constant real users, not just partners and announcements. That part still has to prove itself.
I’m not sold. But I’m watching. And that says something.
