Currently discussing public chains, everyone seems to be caught in the same template: explosive performance parameters, scorching ecosystem popularity, and data curves rising straight upward. As soon as the growth slows slightly, public opinion immediately labels it as "no hype, no story, no future."

Recently, I took a deep look at the Vanar Chain project, which changed my perspective. This chain might be one of the few that actively breaks out of this rhythm.

My first impression is not that it stacks data extravagantly, but that it has a very clear understanding of its positioning. Vanar Chain does not attempt to please all developers at once, support all hot tracks, or meet everyone's expectations. Instead, it focuses its efforts on content-based applications, entertainment interactions, and genuine user experience. In the short term, this approach may be at a disadvantage, and the market may not be very receptive. But in the long run, this is precisely the key— a chain that truly serves users is not constrained by how high TPS numbers are, but by whether its performance remains stable, whether network latency is low enough, whether user costs are acceptable, and most importantly, whether developers are willing to build on it long-term.

In terms of ecosystem development, Vanar’s approach also appears more cautious. It doesn’t spend large sums on aggressive hype, but instead focuses on refining foundational tools, development environments, and infrastructure. The obvious benefit of this approach is that the projects that remain are mostly not short-term players chasing subsidies, but builders who genuinely want to take root in this ecosystem. The downside? Early on, the data naturally isn’t flashy enough and isn’t easily swept up by hot money.

But on the other hand, the true value of a public chain often accumulates gradually when no one is paying attention. When a specific niche scenario finally takes off, user numbers grow, and the application ecosystem naturally prospers, the outside world will suddenly realize that this chain has been ready all along. That growth then becomes real growth, not inflated by incentives. This steady, cautious route may not be the most clever narrative for fundraising, but for the long-term health of the ecosystem, it might be more valuable than short-term hype.
