When the trading volume of stablecoins surpasses that of the vast majority of native assets, the emergence of Layer1 solutions like Plasma is an inevitable result.
The change in the status of stablecoins in the on-chain world is not accomplished by any single major event, but is a result that gradually emerges over long-term use. Initially, they existed merely as a medium of exchange, used to reduce volatility risks and improve capital turnover efficiency. However, as the frequency of use continues to rise, stablecoins have gradually evolved from 'tool-type assets' into one of the most important value carriers on-chain.
Today, the transfer behavior of stablecoins has already covered a large number of non-investment scenarios. Cross-platform fund scheduling, cross-regional payments, and value transfers between on-chain and off-chain systems all rely on stablecoins to be completed. These transactions do not pursue high returns nor depend on complex contract logic; they are closer to payment and settlement activities in real finance. It is precisely in these high-frequency, low-tolerance usage scenarios that stablecoins begin to pose new demands on the underlying infrastructure.
Why VANRY Chooses Base: AI Infrastructure Cannot Only Live on One Chain
When a project begins to talk about 'cross-chain', the market's first reaction is often traffic, expansion, and ecological narrative. Frankly, this reaction is not surprising, because for a long time, cross-chain has been more of a growth strategy rather than an architectural necessity. But if you put Vanar into the premise discussed repeatedly in the previous articles—that AI is becoming one of the main users—then the question 'why cross-chain' will have a completely different answer.
For AI, isolated infrastructure has almost no value.
Founded in 2018, Dusk is a financial Layer 1 blockchain focused on compliant privacy. Its modular architecture empowers institutional finance, compliant DeFi, and RWA tokenization, with an increasingly完善 ecology and token system by 2026. The total supply of DUSK is 1 billion tokens, with a long-term issuance model spanning 36 years and a 4-year halving cycle to achieve scarcity management of the tokens; the tokens can be used for Gas payments, super staking, and ecological governance, with 10% of block rewards injected into the R&D fund to ensure long-term ecological development. Dusk has now achieved integration of the EURQ stablecoin, institutional Gas sponsorship, and other functions, allowing ordinary users to easily access institutional-level financial assets and unlock new possibilities for financial inclusivity. @Dusk
Cross-chain is not a narrative: What does Vanar Chain landing on Base mean for the scale of AI usage?
In many projects, cross-chain is often seen as a form of 'exposure'—engaging with multiple ecosystems and drawing traffic. However, in an AI-first context, the significance of cross-chain is entirely different. AI systems inherently do not belong to any single chain; they pursue reach and scale.
Vanar Chain chooses to start expanding technical availability from Base, which is essentially not about establishing a 'multi-chain presence', but about solving a very real problem: if AI can only operate within a single network, its usage limit will be greatly constrained.
Once foundational capabilities can be called across ecosystems, intelligent systems can play a role in a much larger application space.
This step is more like 'opening a channel' for Vanar. Behind Base lies a more mature application environment, richer user entry points, and more real scenarios that could be directly invoked by AI. All of these will, in turn, increase the probability of Vanar's technology being actually used, rather than remaining in a self-circulating native network.
From a usage logic perspective, this kind of cross-chain does not dilute Vanar's core positioning. On the contrary, it reinforces a judgment: AI-first infrastructure cannot be isolated on a single chain.
Only when intelligent capabilities can be repeatedly called by different ecosystems will the value of the infrastructure truly be amplified.
Corresponding to $VANRY , this expansion is not simply about 'adding another application scenario', but rather increasing the potential frequency and depth of usage. When technology is relied upon by more systems, assets will naturally flow with usage, rather than being sustained by narrative.
Vanar Chain's approach to cross-chain is not loud, but the logic is clear: it's not about making more people aware of it, but about enabling more AIs to use it.
The structural advantages of settlement-oriented L1 in the regulatory context, why Plasma is easier to understand within the real system
As stablecoins begin to frequently appear in regulatory discussions, a practical issue gradually emerges: not all blockchain structures are suitable for integration into real financial frameworks. Many general-purpose public chains, by default, are designed for a highly free and combinatorial application environment, which is valuable during the innovation phase but becomes ambiguous at the compliance and risk assessment level. Plasma's settlement-oriented positioning precisely forms a different structural advantage in this regard.
The core concern of the regulatory system has never been how many variations can be done on-chain, but whether funds are traceable, whether rules are stable, and whether system behavior is predictable. Plasma narrows the functional boundaries from a system perspective within stablecoin settlement and payment, and this "functional self-limitation" makes the network easier to understand and assess. It does not need to explain complex financial derivative logic to the outside world nor does it need to repeatedly switch narratives between high-risk applications and basic settlement.
Under this structure, Plasma is closer to a "settlement network" rather than a "financial experimentation ground." The flow path of stablecoins on the chain is relatively clear, and trading behaviors are more in line with the intuitions of traditional payment systems. This is an important prerequisite for compliance assessment: the more focused the system itself is, the easier it is to define potential risks.
In addition, Plasma's emphasis on finality and security anchoring also aligns with the basic requirements of real finance for "results that cannot be arbitrarily altered." By introducing stronger determinism and external security references, the network's operating rules no longer heavily rely on internal games but possess a more long-term stable expectation. This characteristic is often more popular in regulatory contexts than flexibility.
It is important to note that this does not mean Plasma actively caters to regulation, but rather its system design itself is closer to the operational logic of real finance. When blockchains begin to handle real-scale capital flows, whether they are "easy to understand" will itself become a competitive factor.
From this perspective, the advantage of settlement-oriented L1 lies not in speed or functionality, but in structural clarity @Plasma $XPL
Launched in 2018, Dusk focuses on the financial sector with a compliant privacy Layer 1 blockchain. Its modular architecture provides foundational support for institutional DeFi and RWA tokenization, with a dual explosion in technology and market expected in 2026. The DUSK token saw a weekly increase of nearly 200%, with a 24-hour peak rise of 129.78%. Trading volume surged over 5 times, and market capitalization rose in tandem, making it a leading asset in the privacy coin sector. This surge is driven by the successful implementation of the mainnet upgrade and the operational launch of the NPEX partnership project, further validating the market's strong recognition of the compliant privacy financial sector, as institutional funds accelerate their influx into the Dusk ecosystem. @Dusk
Founded in 2018, Dusk is a compliance-focused privacy Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for the financial sector, with a modular architecture that is inherently compatible with institutional-level financial applications and RWA tokenization needs. By 2026, Dusk will deeply align with the EU's MiCA and MiFID II regulatory requirements, and the Citadel framework will enable privacy-preserving verification of financial identities, completing qualified investor certification through ZKP without disclosing personal information. Its 'privacy by default, audit on demand' design breaks the regulatory dilemmas faced by traditional privacy coins, becoming the first financial blockchain to achieve compatibility between regulation and privacy, clearing compliance barriers for institutional entry.

From establishing compliant privacy finance in 2018 to becoming a core player in the RWA track by 2026, Dusk achieves a dual breakthrough in technology and implementation through a modular Layer 1 architecture. The 300 million euro security tokenization project in collaboration with the Dutch NPEX exchange has been implemented, with real assets continuously flowing on-chain; a zero-trust custody solution has been implemented on the NPEX platform to build a solid security defense for RWA asset management; integration with Chainlink oracles ensures smooth on-chain transition for compliant European securities assets. Dusk connects the entire on-chain path for institutional finance, providing a solid implementation vehicle for compliant DeFi and real asset tokenization. @Dusk
Dusk, born in 2018, is a financial-grade Layer 1 blockchain deeply focused on compliance and privacy. Its modular architecture lays a solid foundation for institutional finance, compliant DeFi, and RWA tokenization. By 2026, a comprehensive technological upgrade will be implemented, with the Piecrust VM enhancing zero-knowledge performance by ten times. The dual-VM architecture, combined with the Hedger privacy protocol, achieves a perfect balance between transaction privacy and authorized auditing, with a settlement finality of 2-3 seconds better suited for institutional trading needs. The DuskEVM mainnet operates stably, embedding privacy protection and auditability into the protocol's foundation, creating a new paradigm of compliant privacy for financial infrastructure, and becoming a core choice for institutions going on-chain.
Viewing Plasma as a settlement system makes many design choices suddenly appear very reasonable
In the previous discussion, Plasma has been repeatedly described as a Layer 1 with the core goal of settlement in stablecoins. However, if we only stay at the conceptual level, this statement can still easily be misunderstood as a form of positioning packaging. To truly understand the foundational design of Plasma, we must temporarily detach from the public chain narrative and place it back into the more traditional and stricter framework of a 'settlement system.' The primary goal of a settlement system is not to be feature-rich, but to be predictable. In any settlement network, the issues that participants care about most always boil down to a few questions: Will transactions be confirmed? How long does confirmation take? In extreme cases, is the result still trustworthy? These questions do not depend on complex application logic, but rather on whether the underlying system is sufficiently restrained and clear.
As blockchain begins to meet real financial needs, Plasma's network positioning is becoming evident.
For a long time, blockchain was more about building its own closed systems, with applications and funds primarily circulating within the crypto world. However, as the scale of stablecoins expands, more and more real funds are beginning to flow on-chain, and blockchain is inevitably touching the boundaries of the real financial system. Plasma's positioning is gradually becoming clear at this turning point. The requirements of real finance for infrastructure are entirely different from those of the crypto-native world. Determinism, auditability, and neutrality are often more important than feature richness. Plasma's various trade-offs at the system level—stablecoin priority, sub-second finality, anchoring Bitcoin security—are not aimed at chasing narratives, but are aligned in advance to meet this demand. It does not attempt to change the way the financial system operates, but rather provides a more efficient settlement channel for the flow of funds. This positioning also determines the pace of Plasma's development. It does not need to rely on application explosions to prove its value but gradually reveals its role as stablecoin use cases naturally expand. As payments, settlements, and cross-border transactions increasingly migrate on-chain, a network focused on settlement is more likely to be accepted. From the perspective of network roles, Plasma is more like a middle layer connecting crypto assets and real finance, rather than a terminal application platform. It does not compete for user attention but rather carries the transactions themselves. This “invisible” existence is not prominent in the short-term market but is crucial in the long-term infrastructure competition. When blockchain truly begins to bear real financial needs, the market's evaluation criteria for networks will also change. Performance narratives and the number of applications will no longer be the only indicators; stable operation and controllable risks will gradually occupy core positions. The route chosen by Plasma is preparing for this change. If early public chains were more about technical experiments, then settlement networks like Plasma are closer to a long-term project. Its value does not come from hype but from whether it can maintain a continuous and reliable presence in the flow of real funds. $XPL
Kayon, Inference and VANRY: Why 'Explainability' is the Moat of AI
When discussing AI, most people are easily attracted by the 'intelligence level.' The number of model parameters, the accuracy of inference results, and the speed of generation are all noticeable and easily communicable indicators. However, if you shift your perspective from demonstration effects to real operating environments, you will quickly discover a long-ignored problem: if we do not know how AI arrives at its conclusions, we cannot truly use it.
This issue has already begun to emerge in the Web2 era; in the Web3 and on-chain environment, it will be magnified infinitely.
