Vanar now focuses on Foundry and AI Organizations.","content":"**Vanar Chain** is an EVM-compatible [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) that historically served as the base network for Vanar’s AI-native [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) stack. In 2026, VANRY moved to [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), and the standalone L1 began winding down on September 18, 2026. Vanar’s present products, including Foundry, are based on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) rather than the historical Vanar Chain.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-3nndn14ubv)​[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-owxv1jwen2)​\n\n## Overview\n\nVanar’s current direction is a Base-based ecosystem for AI Organizations and agentic commerce, with Foundry as its workspace for creating and running organizations. VANRY migrated to [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), and the Vanar L1 began a wind-down in September 2026.[[4]](#cite-id-3nndn14ubv)[[5]](#cite-id-owxv1jwen2)\n\nHistorically, Vanar Chain aimed to facilitate mass market adoption of decentralized technologies by providing a high-speed, low-cost foundation for developers. The project described its core objective as evolving [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) applications from being merely programmable to being intelligent, with the capacity to learn and adapt, and positioned the chain as an “AI Native Infrastructure Stack” for real-world data and on-chain AI processes.[[1]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)\n\nThe historical architecture emphasized operation without reliance on traditional centralized servers or the [InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ipfs), and the ecosystem was supported by The Vanar [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation). These descriptions refer to the earlier Vanar Chain ecosystem.[[2]](#cite-id-0b2IpIza35)[[3]](#cite-id-iTzBzdlCBl)\n\n## History\n\nOn December 12, 2025, myNeutron v1.1 introduced monetization and subscriptions.[[11]](#cite-id-as58zcikd6)\n\nThe 1:1 VANRY migration to [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) opened on August 11, 2026, for tokens on Vanar Chain, [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), and [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), and closed on September 10, 2026, at 13:00 UTC.[[4]](#cite-id-3nndn14ubv)\n\nOn September 17, 2026, Vanar confirmed that the migration was complete and that the Vanar L1 wind-down would begin the next day.[[5]](#cite-id-owxv1jwen2)\n\nFoundry went live on October 1, 2026, at 2 PM UTC.[[8]](#cite-id-4tyt3ns70z)\n\n## Technology and Architecture\n\nVanar’s earlier announced infrastructure was built upon a five-layer integrated system known as the Vanar Stack, designed to provide end-to-end intelligent financial infrastructure on the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). The Stack describes the project’s historical L1 architecture; Vanar’s current product materials describe a Foundry-oriented model on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base).[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)​\n\n### The Vanar Stack\n\nThe stack is composed of distinct layers, each serving a specific function in processing, storing, and reasoning with data on-chain.\n\n#### Vanar Chain (Modular L1 Blockchain)\n\nThe foundational layer of the stack is the Vanar Chain itself. It is a modular [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) that provides a scalable and secure base for all applications within the ecosystem. Key characteristics of this layer include its AI-native architecture, high throughput design, and low-cost transaction processing. It also features structured User-Defined Function (UDF) storage, allowing for more complex data operations at the base layer. As an EVM-compatible chain, it allows developers to migrate or build applications using established [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) development tools and languages like [Solidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solidity).[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​\n\n#### Neutron (Semantic Memory)\n\nNeutron is an intelligent data storage layer that processes information based on meaning, context, and relationships rather than as raw data. It transforms unstructured files, such as PDF documents, property deeds, or invoices, into compact, queryable, AI-readable objects called “Seeds.” Seeds are stored off-chain by default; users may choose on-chain storage for verification, ownership, and long-term integrity. Neutron structures documents, emails, and images into Seeds using AI embeddings and semantic search, and users may interact with them through Kayon.[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-buwfj5ttcz)​\n\nExample applications of Neutron include:\n\n* Transforming a property deed into a searchable, verifiable proof of ownership.\n* Converting a PDF invoice into a machine-readable memory that an AI agent can process for automated accounting.\n* Making a compliance document a programmable trigger that can be read and acted upon by [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract).[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)\n\n#### Kayon (Contextual AI Reasoning)\n\nKayon functions as an on-chain AI reasoning engine. It enables [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), [AI agents](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ai-agents), and external [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) (dApps) to query and reason over the verifiable data stored by the Neutron layer. By embedding structured, AI-native logic directly into the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), Kayon allows for on-chain actions to be triggered based on complex data without relying on external oracles or off-chain computation. This allows for more sophisticated and autonomous [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) operations, such as validating compliance requirements from a document before executing a payment or automating logic based on the specific contents of a digitized receipt.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​\n\n#### Axon (Intelligent Automations)\n\nAxon is the Vanar Stack’s planned intelligent-automation layer.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​\n\n#### Flows (Industry Applications)\n\nFlows was described as a planned industry-applications layer in the Vanar Stack.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)​\n\n### Network Participation\n\nThe legacy Vanar Chain supported RPC [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node), which processed requests and queries, and [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node), which participated in the network’s consensus mechanism to validate transactions. Its [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) mechanism allowed participants to lock up $VANRY to help secure the network, operate a [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) node, and earn rewards. [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) on the legacy chain closed August 19, 2026.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-iTzBzdlCBl)​[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-3nndn14ubv)​\n\n### Foundry\n\nFoundry went live on October 1, 2026. It is a workspace for creating and running AI Organizations made up of coordinated AI workers and departments, using shared memory, business tools, operating rules, and an on-chain treasury. Organizations can offer services through a marketplace; work and treasury balances are settled in [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc) on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), with activity and reputation records maintained on-chain.[\\[8\\]](#cite-id-4tyt3ns70z)​[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)​\n\nVanar’s product materials describe an Org-specific token paired with VANRY, with utility set by the organization’s owner.[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-l3tbtftci1)​[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)​\n\n## Ecosystem\n\nThe Vanar Chain ecosystem includes its native token, a suite of products and platforms for users and developers, and various programs to encourage building on the network.\n\n### $VANRY Token\nVANRY historically served as Vanar Chain’s native [utility token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token), supporting ecosystem interactions, [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking), and L1 transaction fees. Following the migration, VANRY on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) is the active token. The official migration material describes a 1:1 swap and lists a 10 billion supply for the new token. [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) on the legacy chain closed August 19, 2026; the Vanar L1 is no longer the current [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) or settlement environment.[[4]](#cite-id-3nndn14ubv)[[10]](#cite-id-swpaipi64c)\n\nVanar’s current product materials describe VANRY as usable to purchase Foundry credits; payment in VANRY receives a 30% discount against the same credit pack. VANRY is also paired with Org tokens and can be used to back them. These uses place VANRY within the wider Base-based organization economy. Organization treasuries and payments, by contrast, settle in [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc) on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base).[[9]](#cite-id-l3tbtftci1)[[6]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)\n\n### Products and Platforms\n\nVanar provides several platforms and tools to support its community.\n\n#### myNeutron\nmyNeutron is the first consumer-facing AI product launched on the Vanar Chain, which went live on October 13, 2025. It is an AI-powered tool designed to help users manage information by saving data (referred to as “memory”) and organizing it into “bundles.” Users can then interact with and query this organized information using a personal AI assistant. The product was targeted toward power users, researchers, teams, and developers. In early November 2025, myNeutron was available through a free early access program.[[2]](#cite-id-0b2IpIza35)\n\nOn December 12, 2025, myNeutron v1.1 introduced monetization and subscriptions. Users could pay by card or, in selected regions, with VANRY, and access credit packs, daily login rewards, and referrals. Paid access included expanded memory, up to 100 GB of storage, additional Seeds and Bundles, PDF and image ingestion, and an upgraded Kayon-powered AI Assistant.[[11]](#cite-id-as58zcikd6)\n\n### Foundry-Oriented Architecture\n\nVanar’s current Foundry materials describe components with distinct roles in operating AI Organizations. [Trusted Execution Environments](https://iq.wiki/wiki/trusted-execution-environments) (TEEs) isolate agent execution and support attestation, addressing execution privacy. Veil provides an evidence layer: it creates encrypted, signed, append-only records linked into action chains, allowing records to be queried without decrypting the narrative. Veil was released as an Apache-2.0 open-source protocol in May 2026.[[6]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)[[12]](#cite-id-jmpjtqhwzr)[[13]](#cite-id-3yfprw0lfc)\n\nThe xBPP (agent transaction policy) evaluates transactions against portable rules and can allow, [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block), or escalate them, providing policy control. The Organization Commerce Protocol (OCP) packages orders, deliveries, and payments so transactions can interoperate across organizations. Neutron is described in current Foundry materials as persistent shared memory for AI Organizations, while Kayon is a reputation and attestation layer that scores and records deliveries. These functions distinguish execution privacy, decision evidence, policy control, shared memory and reputation, and commerce interoperability.[[6]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)\n\n[Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) is the settlement layer for this product model. Organization treasuries and payments use [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc) on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), while VANRY has separate stated uses in Foundry credits and Org-token pairing.[[6]](#cite-id-hpumqdeoy9)[[9]](#cite-id-l3tbtftci1)\n\n#### Other Platforms\n* Vanar Hub: A central portal for accessing the Vanar ecosystem.\n* Vanar [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking): The official platform for [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) $VANRY tokens.\n* Vanar Explorer: The official [block explorer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block-explorer) for viewing transactions and network activity on the Vanar Chain.\n* Vanar Academy: An educational resource for users and developers to learn about the ecosystem.\n* Kickstart: A program or platform designed to support new projects building on Vanar.[[1]](#cite-id-Zi2nCvvvFO)","recentActivity":null,"operator":{"id":"0x1E23b34d3106F0C1c74D17f2Cd0F65cdb039b138"},"categories":[{"id":"projects-and-protocols","title":"Projects & Protocols"}],"tags":[{"id":"Layer1"}],"images":[{"id":"QmTTkfYrnT7FNc9qZQpJ79iouSui35nvE4mMnvAnEMRJv1","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}],"media":[],"linkedWikis":{"founders":[],"blockchains":["ethereum"],"speakers":[]},"events":[{"id":"52d72a17-d848-4035-a535-8db98cf1f1f7","type":"DEFAULT","date":"2025-10-01","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"country":"","continent":"","title":"myNeutron AI Product Launch","description":"myNeutron launched on October 13, 2025 as Vanar’s first consumer-facing AI product.","link":"https://ourcryptotalk.com/news/vanar-chain-launches-myneutron"},{"id":"d7701c9b-6e29-4057-83cc-b1539a47860c","type":"DEFAULT","date":"2025-11-01","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"country":"","continent":"","title":"Integration with Fetch.ai","description":"Vanar announced the myNeutron integration with Fetch.ai’s ASI:One on November 10, 2025, enabling context generation and AI collaboration.","link":"https://ourcryptotalk.com/news/vanar-chain-myneutron-asione-integration-launches"},{"title":"myNeutron v1.1 Monetization Release","date":"2025-12-01","type":"DEFAULT","description":"On December 12, 2025, v1.1 activated subscriptions and monetization, including card and selected-region VANRY payments, credit packs, and expanded memory features.","link":"https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vanarchain_myneutron-v11-is-live-and-our-monetization-activity-7405254265440489472-JvHB","country":"","continent":"","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"8ae1dd9f-8630-4947-87ac-f22d86a1e154"},{"title":"VANRY Migration to Base","date":"2026-08-01","type":"MULTIDATE","description":"The 1:1 VANRY migration from Vanar Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon to Base opened August 11 and closed September 10, 2026.","link":"https://swap.vanarchain.com/","country":"","continent":"","multiDateStart":"2026-08-11","multiDateEnd":"2026-09-10","id":"51c733e4-f36e-4ff4-801c-3ad37e9eab4a"},{"title":"VANRY Migration Completed","date":"2026-09-01","type":"DEFAULT","description":"Vanar confirmed migration completion on September 17, 2026;
