From APR to Value, Staking on VanarChain
I’ve gotten tired of APR dashboards blinking like billboards, it’s ironic, the later the cycle gets, the more people ask me for a number, instead of asking what real value the network is producing.
On VanarChain, staking is not just parking tokens and hoping, I think the core is a delegated proof of stake model, where the Vanar Foundation selects validators, and the community delegates VANRY to strengthen security and earn rewards. When you open the staking page and look at the validator list, you can actually see product level signals, each node carries a different commission, a different APY, a different reward history, maybe that data is what separates long horizon builders from pure reward chasers.
If we truly want to move from APR to value, I keep my eyes on three things, whether the commission is reasonable, whether the validator is reputable and operationally stable, and whether on chain activity can generate enough fees so rewards are not only inflation. VanarChain talks a lot about infrastructure for AI workloads, if real applications drive transactions and fees, staking naturally shifts from farming to owning a slice of real network activity.
So are you staking on VanarChain to count APR, or to hold a position in the value that comes from real usage.
