In this echo chamber that only repeats itself, Vanar chooses to speak outside
Recently observing the movements of @Vanarchain , I discovered a significant signal:
It is actively escaping the Crypto "echo chamber"
These past few days, while most projects are still arguing on Twitter over a few points of rise and fall,
Vanar's CEO has gone to the podium at AIBC in Dubai to talk with global business leaders about AI-driven global growth.
This is not just about changing the meeting place; it's a complete shift in dialogue partners.
In the crypto world, you discuss TPS, airdrops, and TVL.
But in occasions like AIBC, you must talk about policies, productivity, and boundaries of responsibility.
At this moment, Vanar positions itself as "the on-chain pillar of the AI growth engine," actually paving the way for future institutional entry.
It is telling those outside the circle with big money: "The AI black box issue you are worried about, my on-chain memory layer can solve it." ———————— This strategy of "narrative spillover" indeed does not provide much stimulus to the coin price ($0.006) in the short term,
because the gamblers in the secondary market do not understand and do not care about macroeconomics.
But for an infrastructure that wants to survive beyond 2026, this is a necessary step.
Only by gaining "recognition from the outside world" can we break the deadlock of Crypto's stock game.
Now, Vanar is like a tech geek handing out flyers at the entrance of Wall Street.
Although it seems a bit lonely, as long as a giant picks up the flyer, the ending of the story will be rewritten.
I am willing to hold a position for this courage to break out of the circle at this low level.
It was only when AI started messing up millions in orders that we understood Vanar's ambitions.
A couple of days ago, I had tea with a guy who does cross-border logistics. He has been vigorously promoting AI customer service and scheduling systems recently, resulting in a mess.
He complained that: "This AI is smart, but it's too 'independent.' When handling this order, it completely forgot the special notes for this client from last week. This led to wrong shipments and pricing errors, costing over a hundred thousand. This kind of discontinuous intelligence is a ticking time bomb in industrial scenarios." After listening to his complaints, I suddenly understood the remarks made at the AIBC conference in Dubai these past two days. In the past, I thought Vanar talked about memory just to ride the AI wave.
I just saw AltimeterBrad (Brad Gerstner) confirm attendance on the #WLF2026 list, and I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was mistaken.
If you’re in the US stock circle, you know what level Altimeter Capital is at.
This kind of top-tier Silicon Valley investor used to only appear on CNBC discussing macroeconomics, AI, and SaaS.
Now he’s actually going to Mar-a-Lago to talk to us about stablecoins?
This itself is a huge macro signal.

I took a look at the on-chain data for USD1, and the answer is very clear:
The circulation has exceeded 5.3 billion USD.
When an on-chain asset reaches this scale, it is no longer just a 'even' in the crypto space; it is a new type of currency supply in the financial world.
People like Brad have the sharpest instincts.
What he sees is not Crypto; he sees that the US dollar is being reconstructed.
With Binance launching the PAXG/USD1 hardcore trading pair, the logic is closed:
Physical gold + digital US dollar = a new generation of safe-haven dual towers.
————————
This could be a watershed moment for 2026.
In the past, we begged institutions to take a look at Web3, now institutions have no choice but to study the API-ization of the US dollar.
The World Liberty Forum chose Mar-a-Lago, and the guest is Brad Gerstner; the metaphor behind this is too deep:
Wall Street (capital), Washington (power), and Silicon Valley (technology) are converging on the stablecoin track.
This is not just a call; this is a statement of a power shift that is happening.
If you still see USD1 as just an ordinary mining tool, then you may really underestimate the scale of this game. #USD1
Just finished testing @CalculusFinance, and I laughed out loud when I saw the results: Michael Saylor —— ETF Priest.
The motto in the picture is simply reflecting my ID:
「In Jerome we trust, always believing that the value of the counterfeit is 0.」
No wonder I can't hold onto a Shiba Inu; it turns out my DNA isn't that of a gambler, but rather a thorough believer in institutional logic.
👇 Let's see how stable my C-B-N-S really is:
🔹 C (Centralized Practicalist): I don't blindly believe in decentralization; I trust whoever is secure and efficient. 🔹 B (Blue Chip Believer): Apart from BTC/ETH, everything else is noise to me. 🔹 N (Narrative Driven): I'm looking at the macro, aiming for the ETF and compliant flood of capital. 🔹 S (Stable Risk Control): Surviving and crossing cycles is more important than getting rich overnight.
This is not just a test; this is Calculus using AI to strip down the strategies of top whales, helping us find the most compatible ways to make money.

Since we are talking about trading personalities, I also dare to analyze our industry's two mountains with this logic:
I think CZ is definitely the ceiling of T (Logic Driven Analyst).
Building Binance and BNBchain from 0 to 1 relies not on storytelling but on extreme code rationality and system architecture ability. Coupled with V (Proactive and Decisive) execution, they can stay firmly on the fishing platform amidst multiple industry reshuffles.
🧐 Guess about @Yi He : 【D-A-N-V】 Sister is different; I think she is the king of N (Narrative Driven Consensus). Her ability to capture market heat and community sentiment is top-notch (corresponding to A - Value Discovery). If CZ builds ships, she is the one who can make everyone believe "this ship can sail to new continents."
To the two big shots, I wonder if my AI personality profile is accurate?
Lastly, to be honest:
Recognizing oneself is the first step to making big money.
The official now has a 0.5% $CALCULUS token reward pool; testing it doesn't cost anything. What if your "prototype" is Buffett?
If your Google account is banned tomorrow, what will you have left?
A couple of days ago, a photographer friend of mine broke down at a party.
The reason is simple and absurd: his cloud account was permanently banned for violating sharing rules (which was actually a misjudgment).
Ten years of work, records of a child's growth, all work documents, instantly evaporated. No way to appeal, data can't be retrieved.
Looking at him like that, a term popped into my head: digital lobotomy.
In a centralized world, our memories do not belong to us; they belong to the server. As long as the platform is willing, it can turn you into a 'blank person' with no past at any time.
If the world of fiat currency is made up of countless isolated islands separated by high walls, then Plasma is trying to create a door that can be opened at will.
Recently, the news of @Plasma connecting to Bridge is seen by many as just an ordinary positive development.
But in my view, this is the most critical piece of the puzzle in Plasma's ecological map.
Fiat ↔ USDT bi-directional connection.
In the past, entering Crypto was like an adventure. You had to find exchanges, find C2C, worry about frozen cards, and endure high slippage.
Now, through Bridge's single API, Plasma has turned this process into a one-click experience.
Developers can easily integrate this door into their applications.
Want to recharge? Just click, and fiat turns into USDT.
Want to withdraw? Just click, and USDT turns back into fiat.
The entire process is completed on the Plasma chain, with zero Gas and zero friction.
————————
This marks Plasma's official transformation from a "chain-based DeFi paradise" to a global payment hub.
It is no longer satisfied with just earning money within the chain; it is starting to earn money from connections.
Once this "full-chain path dependency" is formed, it is very difficult to replace.
Because for B-end enterprises, stability and low cost are everything.
The current market still views it with outdated perspectives, thinking it is not as attractive as Meme.
But if you believe that 2026 will be the year of stablecoin payment explosion, then Plasma's "least painful path" is a target you must pay attention to.
Not seeking attention, but pursuing flow.
This is the logic of doing big business. #plasma$XPL
In this world, the most expensive thing is not the brain, but experience.
Recently I've been thinking about a question:
Why do freshly graduated PhD students earn 200,000 a year, while an old Chinese medicine practitioner or a senior lawyer charges thousands for a consultation?
Because PhD students have computational power (quick brains), but seasoned experts possess 'data' (extensive experience).
Experience is the compound interest that accumulates over time.
After listening to the latest AMA from @Vanarchain , I realized they are moving this set of experience economics on-chain.
The current AI space is very competitive; everyone is comparing whose model has stronger computational power (competing like PhD students).
But Vanar says: Stop competing, let’s compete with experience instead.
Through the Neutron API, they turn every interaction and every decision of the Agent into on-chain verifiable memory particles.
This directly changes how AI operates.
——————
In the past, AI's capability was reset-based. Each time a task ended, the experience was lost.
Now, Vanar has transformed AI into an accumulation-based model.
What's even more intriguing is that this accumulation can be transferred.
This means that in the future, there will be an AI memory market.
You can directly purchase a memory pack proficient in DeFi lending and plug it into your Agent, instantly turning it from a novice into an expert.
Look at the current coin price ($0.006): The market clearly hasn't yet reacted to the potential of 'memory assetization.'
The trading volume is low, and community sentiment is still bottoming out.
But that doesn't matter.
What's important is that Vanar has transformed from a seller of shovels to a seller of resumes.
It is adding time value to AI.
If 2026 is the inaugural year for Agents, then Vanar is the archive and talent market for Agents.
This kind of infrastructure will have higher barriers as time goes on. #vanar$VANRY
After being rejected by Stripe for three months, I finally understood the value of this move in Plasma.
Recently, I wanted to add a fiat recharge entry for my DApp, but I was almost tortured to death by the process. I went to apply for Stripe, and it got stuck in compliance review for two months without any progress; I went to connect with MoonPay, and upon seeing that rate, users deposit $100 and only get $92, how can this business still work? At that moment, I finally understood why Web3 has been shouting about Mass Adoption for so many years, yet it still ends up being a self-indulgent circle. It's not that users don't want to come in, but the barrier is just too high. Every step of capital inflow and outflow is bleeding. This is also why when I saw the integration announcement for Stablecoin (Bridge) being forwarded, my first reaction wasn't that there was another partner, but rather, 'These people have finally found that point of least resistance.'
Recently, I've been reading a book about psychology that mentions a term called attention depreciation.
It means that if you can see something's new patterns every day, your brain will keep assigning it a higher value.
But if it suddenly goes quiet, even if the value behind it is still increasing, your subconscious will feel that it is depreciating.
The current @Plasma is obviously in a period of "extreme attention depreciation."
The official announcements haven't had that adrenaline-pumping excitement in a long time.
No new integrations, no collaborations with major influencers, and even light interactions have been cut. In the eyes of most people, this project has already fallen out of the top tier for 2026.
But this is exactly where I find it interesting.
The pricing logic of the market and the actual adoption paths are experiencing a severe disconnect.
If we shift our gaze away from Twitter and look at the few overlooked signals:
MassPay, a payment orchestration platform handling billions, has already regarded Plasma as the factual backend for USD settlements.
YuzuMoney is piloting new banking in Southeast Asia's most stubborn cash merchants.
This growth is linear, compliance-driven, and non-viral. It naturally struggles to produce the kind of tweet heat that goes viral.
This is a typical "dual track running in parallel but out of sync":
One track accumulates stickiness madly through merchant access in the real world.
The other track is being ruthlessly depreciated in the crypto market due to a lack of catalysts.
For long-term holders, the current low-level grinding is actually a test of patience.
Do you believe in those projects that paint a rosy picture on your screen every day, or do you trust these slow variables quietly changing the financial gears in the background?
If in the second half of 2026, these offline paths generate a quantifiable active inflection point, the market will be forced to switch from forgetting to reassessing.
And by that time, the current pricing window may have quietly closed.
Maintain independent observation, and don't let the market's noise (or silence) throw off your rhythm.
Last night, a friend involved in traditional venture capital dragged me to a so-called high-end business dinner.
The entire venue was filled with well-tailored suits and shiny leather shoes. In this scenario, if you talk about daily gains or mention how a local dog has doubled, people will only smile politely and regard you as a gambler who has wandered into the wrong scene. In their logic, money is not called money, but assets; investment is not called investment, but strategic layout. They only care about two things: certainty and sustainability. I sat in the corner, watching these people clink glasses, while secretly thinking about the noisy Binance Square of Web3.
A couple of days ago, I went to help Brother Wang downstairs to adjust the cash register system in his store. It was an old machine that had been used for almost five years, and it responded as slowly as a sloth. I asked him, 'Since it's so difficult to use, why not switch to the latest one? Those aggregation payment apps can be installed in just a few minutes now.' Brother Wang, while typing on the keyboard, smiled wryly and said, 'It's not that easy. The data of thousands of members in my store, three years of accounting records, and the settlement templates with suppliers are all in there. Changing to a new app only takes a few minutes, but to redo my entire business logic, I would have to cease operations for half a month. I can't afford that loss.
If your logic can't escape the crypto circle, then your market value will always have a ceiling
Recently observing the actions of @Vanarchain , I found that this team has finally realized a survival strategy:
Go to places with big money and speak the language they understand
Most projects are still tangled in how to deceive some likes on posts, while Vanar has gone to AIBC in Dubai to discuss AI-driven global growth
This move is quite clever
It is leveraging a dual-platform strategy: stabilizing the crypto circle's fundamentals (trust + activity) by borrowing from Binance Square, and penetrating into AI policy and investment circles (recognition + implementation) through AIBC
We must recognize this turning point:
Vanar is no longer limited to being a tool for developers; it is trying to become the spokesperson for Web3 in the AI field
It is betting on a huge expectation gap: in the second half of 2026, when the world is discussing the responsibility of AI decision-making and long-term memory
Vanar, which has long been mentioning "Foundational Intelligence," will become the only narrative outlet
Of course, the market is very honest
$VANRY 's current price is still hovering around $0.008, with a market cap of just over ten million dollars
This indicates two things:
The market currently lacks patience for "slow variable" infrastructure
Macro liquidity has not yet rotated to these carefully considered targets
—————————————————————————————————— Projects with "high belief and low immediacy" are most suitable for patient long-term observation
Do not be swept away by any AMA or Giveaway
What we need to pay attention to is: whether those who listened to him speak at the Dubai Panel will actually start testing the Neutron API
Only when the echo of ideas turns into real usage can this narrative spillover be considered a great success
The current low-level fluctuations actually provide an extremely quiet entry window for those who understand the logic of the global growth engine. #vanar$VANRY
Recently, many people have asked me why @Plasma looks nothing like those hot AI projects?
I countered them: Have you ever seen a tax-collecting project shouting orders on the street every day?
Understanding the 286% growth report of MassPay_io will help you understand the logic of Plasma.
MassPay is the payment brain connecting 1.1 billion endpoints worldwide. It chooses to use Plasma as the backend for USD settlements, which is tougher than a hundred airdrop events.
We need to clarify a core divergence:
Most public chains are doing 'retail business', competing on whose marketing is stronger.
Plasma is doing 'wholesale business', providing a complete, compliant stablecoin routing system to global payment platforms and new banks (Neobank).
Once enterprise-level traffic comes in, there is no 'loyalty'; it only has 'cost-benefit ratio'.
When Plasma reduces transfer costs to 0, shortens settlement times to seconds, and covers 230 countries, for platforms like MassPay that handle billions in flow every day, Plasma is the only 'standard answer'.
Powerpei's perspective:
The growth brought about by this 'backend integration' is extremely cold and linear.
It will not stop because the market drops, nor will it shrink due to market FUD.
On the contrary, the more chaotic the market, the more enterprises rely on 'low-cost, high-efficiency' settlement tracks.
The current XPL price (0.09x) actually reflects an awkward reality:
The market is not yet ready to price a 'on-chain clearing house'.
Everyone is still using the mindset of speculating on altcoins to bet on its rise and fall, yet they have not noticed it is quietly building an 'indispensable' payment stack.
When on a morning in 2026, you find that the salary you send to foreign employees and the cross-border dividends you receive are all flowing through this track,
You will understand why the silence now is the highest form of hunting.
Focus on the turning point of real transaction volume, that is the true starting gun. #plasma$XPL
February 2026: While everyone is waiting for the big pie to give an explanation, someone is quietly replacing the CPU of the global finance.
Today is February 10, 2026. To be honest, the market in these two days is a bit dull. The big pie jumps back and forth in that range, both long and short sides seem to be playing an extremely boring tug-of-war game. I stared at the screen, watching a few friends in foreign trade repost complaints about 'delayed cross-border remittances' on their Moments, that sense of powerlessness dragged down by the old system can be felt even through the screen. After staying in this circle for a long time, we often fall into a delusion that only the red and green of candlesticks signify 'progress'. But in this dull atmosphere, I saw a set of data that most people overlook.
When trust shattered into pieces, Vanar decided to use the hardest bricks to mend it.
Last week I tried to find a photo taken ten years ago in Lijiang, wanting to see the blue sky from that time. I searched through three Baidu cloud drives and four old phones, and finally found its thumbnail in a broken external hard drive. Only that one. The rest disappeared completely in the sea of bits, all due to broken links, platform closures, or hardware failures. At that moment, I felt not just heartache, but a sense of digital void. It turns out that the eternal digital world we thought was actually more fragile than paper. As long as the power goes out, as long as the cloud servers shut down, our past is equivalent to having never happened.
If code has no past, intelligence is a complete deception.
Last week I visited an old watchmaker who was repairing a mechanical watch from the 1950s. I watched him in the dim light, using tiny tweezers to fiddle with those parts as fine as hair. He said something that has stuck with me to this day: “The reason this watch is valuable is not because the parts are expensive, but because the seventy years it has lived are recorded in the wear of the gears. A new watch only has precision; an old watch has a soul.” After stepping out, I kept thinking about the current technology industry—especially our pride in AI and blockchain, which seem to have a pathological rejection of 'time' and 'sedimentation.' We pursue instantaneous responses, rapid settlements, and each second is a 'brand new' beginning.
Recently, the fakes continued to drop, leaving everyone stunned. I stared at the computer screen, with red columns flowing down like blood, and all the community groups were filled with various wails and curses. In times like this, what everyone wants is an explanation or a lifesaving move. But you will find a very absurd phenomenon. Those projects that usually shout the loudest and post three Roadmaps a day are the ones that fall the hardest and have the most selling pressure. Because their value is built on hot air. As long as the mouth stops or the external wind changes, their consensus collapses faster than paper. In this chaos, I looked at the still inactive official account @Plasma and suddenly felt a sense of extreme coldness and awe.
Last night, watching the shrinking altcoins in my account, I couldn't help but smoke half a pack of cigarettes on the balcony.
I kept thinking about a question: Is our circle collectively suffering from 'cognitive myopia'?
The tolerance for 'no updates' has surprisingly dropped to being measured in hours.
If a project team doesn’t engage on Twitter for an entire day, the evaluation is that the team is not doing a good job. This extreme 'emotion-driven' approach is destroying the valuation logic of all infrastructure projects.
@Plasma is the most typical victim of this valuation paradox.
It is currently in a typical disconnection phase between the 'offline experimental accumulation period vs online echo decay period'.
On one hand, its on-chain data, including lending, earnings, and cross-chain pathways, is actually quietly growing in the background.
Real merchants and new banking applications are gradually embedding the foundation into the soil of the real world.
These processes are like building a car behind closed doors, dealing with dirty and tiring work, with no social premium to speak of.
On the other hand, the market’s 'punishment' towards it is extremely harsh.
Because there are no new stories, no highlights, funds flow away rapidly from this 'silent' zone like water flowing downhill.
This has led to an interesting pricing: the market is pricing a 'real asset' using the standards applied to 'air coins'.
This is essentially a gamble. Plasma is betting that when the path dependency of the real world outpaces the market's patience for forgetting, the pricing power will return to its hands.
The market is betting that before it can run smoothly, its volume will completely disappear and become marginalized in silence.
The current $0.09x looks like a hopeless sideways trend, but in the eyes of seasoned investors, this is actually the moment with the highest risk-reward ratio.
Because all the bad expectations, including lack of updates, no heat, and no capital attention, have already been factored into the price.
And as long as a potential killer application lands, the valuation elasticity will be exponential.
Don't blame the project team for not tweeting; you should ask yourself:
Do you want a project that paints a rosy picture on your screen every day, or do you want a project that is quietly changing the global financial pipeline in the background?
If it's the latter, the current silence is your best entry ticket.
