The cryptocurrency world has become obsessed with speed. All new public blockchains tout themselves as being faster, cheaper, and more scalable than their predecessors. The question is this: If a blockchain is unable to explain what is happening within its own contracts, how can it possibly be expected to support AI?

This is precisely what has been said about several of the world’s biggest blockchains by a relatively new player, Vanar Chain. It is a bold statement to make, but it speaks to a fundamental flaw that exists within much of the world’s current blockchain infrastructure. The fact of the matter is that blockchains are, by and large, black boxes. You input something, you get something out, but you have no idea what is happening in between. 🤖

For an AI to be used effectively within finance, gaming, and other business verticals, it cannot be a mystery. Enterprises are demanding more and more AI that is both auditable and explainable. If an AI is moving money, opening positions, and distributing rewards, there must be an understanding of how and why it is doing so. Without this transparency, there is no trust.

Vanar’s approach is all about cracking open that black box. It’s about creating a more robust level of memory and reasoning for AI systems so they can not just see the results but also review the decision process that led to those results. This is not just a performance improvement. This is the addition of a cognitive structure to blockchain.

However, cognitive ability is not the sole requirement.

As AI agents begin to manage value autonomously, another problem demands immediate attention: identity. Web 3.0 is still struggling to combat the prevalence of fake accounts, airdrop farming, referral scams, and wash trading. But what about the addition of AI agents? These bots cannot get tired. These bots cannot hesitate. If a loophole is found, it will be exploited thousands of times before anyone is even aware of it.

That is why AI-native finance demands identity rails that are not susceptible to Sybil attacks, scams, or human error. Vanar’s use of Humanode’s Biomapper technology ensures the creation of a biometric-based proof of uniqueness without the need for traditional KYC. This ensures that the wallet is verified to be associated with a unique human individual without the need for users to undergo a tedious process.

This balance is important. Systems too open to bots, bots take over. Systems too closed to bots, user experience becomes "please verify your email... no, really, please verify your email... no, really, please verify your email...". There’s a happy medium here, one in which human users are protected while usability remains low-friction.

One more issue to talk about: wallet addresses. Currently, money is sent to long hexadecimal strings. It’s easy to make a mistake, losing money forever. But what happens when AI agents are sending money quickly and frequently? Human-readable addresses, provided through integrations with MetaMask Snaps, allow users to associate domain names with their wallet addresses. ✨

This isn’t just a nicety. It’s a safety feature. In a world in which money is being sent back and forth between agents quickly, small mistakes are expensive mistakes. Many blockchain projects talk about “real world adoption,” but the reality is that in the real world, abuse happens. Good reward schemes require Sybil resistance. Good PayFi rails require bot protection. Good tokenized commerce requires identity without usability destruction.

Vanar’s direction implies that it’s not particularly concerned with metrics like transactions per second and instead focuses on creating guardrails. Names help to reduce transfer errors. Proof of uniqueness helps to combat bot armies. Extensible wallet software attempts to connect the usability of Web2 and the settlement of Web3.

In the next few years, the question won’t be which chain can do transactions the fastest. It will be whether AI finance can be trusted when nobody’s looking. The chains that can offer that will be the winners.

In a space where most people’s code looks like copy-paste, rebuilding the dialogue between AI and blockchain from scratch deserves attention. This isn’t just about selling tokens. It’s about creating communication rights for the machine economy. 🌍 @Vanarchain $VANRY #vanar
