This arrived in our inbox, allegedly from Mrs. Vanar's mom. We cannot confirm authenticity, but the tone is painfully relatable.
To the brilliant minds at Vanar Chain,
Hello, dear. It's your mother. Or rather, the mother of this "blockchain project" you've been working on. I don't fully understand what you do, but your father and I are very proud. We tell the neighbors you're in "tech" and leave it at that.
However, I've been reading your materials—yes, I found the website, I'm not that technologically challenged—and I have some questions. Consider this a maternal audit.
1. Why do you have so many names?
You are called Vanar. Your token is called VANRY. Your storage thing is Neutron. Your brain thing is Kayon. Dear, it's like naming one child, then giving him four different nicknames and expecting everyone to keep up. At family gatherings, we struggled with just "Robert" and "Robert Jr." Can you perhaps... consolidate? My book club is confused.
2. This "carbon neutral" claim—are you eating enough vegetables?
I read that you offset your emissions. This is wonderful. But I need to know: are you practicing proper energy hygiene? Turning off the lights when you leave the testnet? Your father wants to know if you're staking efficiently or just burning resources. He says "proof-of-stake is much better than proof-of-work" and I nodded along. Please confirm.
3. Who is this "Kayon" and why is she doing everyone's thinking?
You keep mentioning that Kayon provides "on-chain reasoning." Is Kayon a person? A very smart intern? I worry she's overworked. In my day, we reasoned for ourselves. Now you're having an AI read legal documents and make decisions? What if she gets it wrong? Who do I complain to?
Also, her compression protocol is very impressive. I tried it on my recipe box and it condensed 40 years of casserole recipes into a tiny digital seed. This is either genius or witchcraft. Please clarify.
4. About this VANRY token...
Your father wants to know if it's a good investment. I told him we don't ask such things; we support family unconditionally. But between us, he's been "DCA-ing" small amounts each week from his pension. He calls it "supporting the ecosystem." I call it "buying more of whatever the children are selling."
Please send a sign if we should keep doing this. Perhaps a nice green candle? Or a polite "stop, Mom"? We're taking cues from you.
5. The metaverse thing—Virtua?
I tried to visit. I don't understand why I need a digital avatar to look at art. My living room has perfectly good art. Your father walked in while I was wearing a virtual reality headset and asked if I'd joined a cult. I said "it's for the children's project" and he backed away slowly.
6. MyNeutron.
I love this app. Genuinely. I've compressed all my important documents—birth certificates, the deed to the house, my secret brownie recipe. They're now these little "seeds" living on some chain somewhere. I feel very secure. But when I try to explain it to my friends, I sound insane. "I put my house deed inside a tiny digital bean and locked it in a computer vault." Please develop a simpler elevator pitch. For my bridge club's sake.
7. The big question: What do you actually DO?
And don't say "an AI-native Layer 1 blockchain for mainstream adoption." I Googled those words and ended up at a forum where people kept posting pictures of rockets and frogs.
Let me rephrase: When you come home for Thanksgiving, and your uncle asks what you've been up to, what do you tell him? He thinks Bitcoin is "computer money for buying drugs." You need a script. Something like:
"Uncle, you know how you hate when companies lose your data, or when automated phone systems can't understand your problem? We're building a system where your information is permanently yours, and the computers can actually understand what you need and execute it fairly. Also, it's really cheap to store things."
That, I can defend at Thanksgiving dinner.
8. Final request: Please call home more often.
We don't need quarterly reports. A simple tweet, a Discord message. Your father monitors the VANRY price daily and reads every partnership announcement. He's very proud of the Nexera deal, though he asked if "Real World Assets" meant you finally bought property.
We love you. We support you. We may never fully understand the semantic memory layer, but we understand ambition and hard work when we see it.
Love,
Mom (and Dad, who's currently researching staking rewards)
P.S. The compressed wedding seating chart your developer friend made went viral in my Mahjong group. Mrs. Chen wants to know if Kayon can plan her 50th anniversary party. She's willing to pay in VANRY. Is that okay?
