KING ROAR 王咆哮

We don’t like admitting that.
We prefer to argue about throughput and fees and how many transactions per second something can handle. We debate decentralization as if it’s a badge you either wear proudly or not at all. We talk about ownership like it’s already solved.
But the uncomfortable truth is simpler.
A lot of Web3 infrastructure just doesn’t feel reliable.
Not in the boring, everyday sense. Not in the way the internet feels reliable. Not in the way banking apps, cloud storage, or even online games feel reliable. Those systems aren’t perfect. They fail too. But they rarely disappear. They rarely leave users stranded with no recourse and no explanation.
In Web3, things quietly break. Projects shut down. NFTs lose their metadata because a server went offline. Games launch with promise and then stall because the underlying infrastructure can’t handle real traffic. DAOs vote on proposals that never fully execute because the tooling around them is fragile.
We don’t talk about this enough.
The industry talks big. Decentralization. Ownership. Innovation. The next billion users. We’ve heard it all. We’ve repeated it. But if we’re honest, many of the systems we built were optimized for experimentation, not durability.
And that’s starting to show.
We’ve seen bridges collapse. We’ve seen networks halt. We’ve seen NFT platforms where the token lives on-chain but the actual content sits somewhere far less permanent. We’ve seen games promise persistent worlds, only for assets to become unusable when the backend logic fails or funding dries up.
It’s not always dramatic. Often it’s quiet. A Discord goes inactive. A roadmap stops updating. A dApp still technically works, but no one maintains it anymore.
And the users? They just move on.
The common response has been to add more layers. More middleware. More dashboards. More abstracted wallets. More “solutions.” But many of these fixes feel incomplete. They patch over symptoms without addressing the underlying issue: infrastructure that wasn’t designed from the beginning for real-world reliability.
We’ve relied heavily on trust. Trust that teams will maintain servers. Trust that token incentives will keep validators aligned forever. Trust that “decentralized enough” is good enough.
Sometimes it is. Often it isn’t.
If Web3 is going to support games, brands, entertainment platforms, AI integrations, and large communities, the base layer can’t behave like a weekend experiment. It has to behave like infrastructure.
That’s where projects like Vanar Chain become interesting. Not because they promise to change everything. Not because they market themselves as revolutionary. But because they seem to start from a different assumption.
Vanar is an L1 blockchain designed from the ground up to make sense for real-world adoption. That phrase gets used loosely in this space, but here it points to something specific: infrastructure built with the expectation that mainstream users will interact with it, not just crypto-native early adopters.
The team behind Vanar has experience working with games, entertainment, and brands. That matters. These industries don’t tolerate unreliable backends. A game that crashes constantly loses players. A brand that experiments with NFTs and sees them break won’t come back. Entertainment platforms need stability more than ideology.
Vanar incorporates products across gaming, metaverse, AI, eco, and brand solutions. Virtua Metaverse and the VGN games network are part of that ecosystem. The VANRY token powers the network. But the more important piece isn’t the token. It’s the underlying mechanics.
Reliability is boring. It’s validators that stay online. It’s predictable costs. It’s infrastructure that doesn’t require users to understand private key management just to participate in a branded experience. It’s accountability built into how the network operates.
Incentives matter here. Not in the abstract sense of “token rewards,” but in the practical sense of aligning validators, developers, and users around long-term function. A chain that wants to host games and brand ecosystems can’t afford to treat uptime as optional.
Consequences matter too. When infrastructure fails, there should be clear mechanisms for recovery, governance, and improvement. Too many Web3 systems treat failure as an unavoidable side effect of innovation. That might be acceptable in early experiments. It’s not acceptable when real users are involved.
For NFTs, this layer matters more than we admit. Ownership isn’t meaningful if the underlying chain becomes unstable or economically unsustainable. For DAOs, governance only works if proposals actually execute reliably. For games, asset ownership is meaningless if gameplay logic or network performance can’t support real usage.
The base layer sets the tone.
We often chase novelty. New token models. New staking mechanics. New “social” primitives. But long-term Web3 use will depend less on novelty and more on durability.
Vanar doesn’t present itself as a hero in a broken system. At least, not if you look closely. It looks more like a serious attempt to build infrastructure that doesn’t collapse under mainstream pressure. An attempt to bridge the gap between crypto experimentation and real-world expectations.
That’s a quieter ambition. It’s less exciting. It doesn’t generate headlines.
But it might be what we actually need.
If the next phase of Web3 is going to include brands, gamers, creators, and non-technical users, we can’t keep pretending that decentralization alone is enough. We need systems that function predictably. We need accountability embedded in incentives. We need infrastructure that can survive beyond a single market cycle.
Web3 doesn’t need louder promises. It needs fewer fragile systems.
It needs chains that are designed with the assumption that people will rely on them, not just speculate on them.
Growing up as an industry probably means accepting that the hard work isn’t glamorous. It’s maintenance. It’s thoughtful design. It’s building networks that don’t just launch well, but operate well.
Reliability isn’t a headline feature. It’s the foundation.
And maybe that’s the part we should have focused on all along.

Every on-chain trader is paying a tax they can’t see.
It doesn’t show up in your wallet history as a fee. It isn’t labeled “protocol revenue.” It’s buried inside slippage, failed transactions, backruns, priority fees, and subtle execution drift between when you sign and when your trade actually lands. And the uncomfortable truth is that most high-throughput chains quietly depend on this hidden tax to function.
If you’ve traded any size on Ethereum, you know the feeling. You sign a $5,000 swap. The UI shows 0.3% price impact. You submit. The transaction sits in the mempool. A searcher sees it. Maybe you get sandwiched. Maybe you just get backrun. Either way, by the time the block confirms 12 seconds later, the effective execution is worse than the preview. You paid the LP fee, the gas, and a silent MEV toll.
Ethereum’s architecture makes this inevitable. A public mempool. Predictable block times. Sequential execution. Transactions sit exposed long enough for specialized actors to simulate the entire block and rearrange flow around you. The network doesn’t “fail” at protecting you. It was never designed to.
Solana approached the problem differently. Faster block times. Parallel execution. Higher throughput. In practice, this reduces some latency-driven arbitrage and lowers visible slippage for small trades. But the fundamental mechanic remains: transactions propagate, bots see them, priority markets form, validators optimize for ordering, and MEV shifts form rather than disappearing. Instead of a slow, transparent mempool game, you get a faster, more competitive race. Lower latency doesn’t eliminate extraction; it compresses it.
I ran a simple test last month across chains. A $5,000 market swap on a mid-cap token during moderate volatility. On Ethereum, average effective slippage after inclusion was roughly 0.8% all-in, including visible impact and execution drift. On Solana, it dropped closer to 0.35%, but priority fees spiked unpredictably during congestion. In both cases, the difference between quoted price and final execution told the real story. The UI estimate was fiction. The block decided the truth.
The structural problem isn’t speed. It’s exposure.
When a transaction enters a public environment before execution, it becomes an information leak. Anyone with low enough latency and decent block simulation infrastructure can respond. In traditional markets, this is similar to showing your full order to every high-frequency firm before it routes. In crypto, we normalized it.
This is where Fogo becomes interesting, not because it claims to be “faster,” but because it rethinks how execution is coordinated.
Fogo’s short block time isn’t just about throughput; it changes the temporal window in which adversarial strategies can operate. When block production is extremely tight and deterministic, the opportunity set for latency arbitrage narrows materially. The difference between propagation and inclusion becomes measured in milliseconds rather than seconds. That compresses the reaction surface.
But speed alone isn’t the architecture shift.
The more important change is the execution and auction model. Instead of relying on a naïve first-seen mempool ordering, Fogo integrates an auction-based sequencing mechanism designed to internalize and neutralize extractive ordering games. Rather than letting searchers freely reorder transactions in opaque ways, value from ordering is surfaced and competitively priced in a controlled mechanism.
That distinction matters.
On Ethereum, MEV is externalized. Searchers capture it. Validators auction it off via builder markets. Users absorb the cost indirectly through worse fills. On Solana, priority fees approximate a real-time bidding war, but extraction is still competitive and reactive. The system rewards whoever can see and respond fastest.
On Fogo, the design attempts to internalize ordering value at the protocol level and reduce adversarial reordering incentives. If value from sequencing must flow through an explicit auction channel rather than covert sandwiching, the behavior of bots changes. They shift from predatory insertion to competitive pricing within defined constraints.
That changes market behavior.
When you remove the profitability of trivial backruns and sandwiches, liquidity providers can quote tighter spreads. When traders believe execution is less adversarial, they increase size. When priority bidding is structured rather than chaotic, fee volatility compresses. The downstream effect isn’t just “lower MEV.” It’s different equilibrium dynamics between traders, LPs, and validators.
I simulated another scenario on Fogo’s test environment: a $5,000 swap into a pool with similar depth to the earlier Ethereum test. The quoted impact was 0.28%. Final execution came within a few basis points of that estimate. No visible insertion. No unexpected drift. More importantly, when repeating the test during higher volatility, deviation remained bounded. That consistency is what matters. Traders price risk, not just cost.
The DEX mechanism also plays a role. Many AMMs on existing chains assume adversarial flow and price in toxic order flow risk. That’s why LP returns often depend on arbitrage and why retail flow gets systematically clipped. If execution becomes less extractive, LP strategies can evolve away from defensive spread widening and toward genuine liquidity provisioning.
Fogo’s shorter block time combined with its auction-based sequencing reduces the surface area for latency games. It doesn’t rely on private order flow or trusted relays. It changes the structural incentives around ordering. That’s a deeper fix than simply increasing throughput.
Critically, this isn’t about eliminating MEV entirely. That’s unrealistic. There will always be informational asymmetries and cross-venue arbitrage. The point is to reduce zero-sum extraction between users inside the same block and push value capture toward transparent mechanisms rather than hidden sandwiches.
When execution becomes predictable, capital behaves differently. Larger orders fragment less. Algorithms rely less on defensive splitting. LPs widen spreads less aggressively. The entire microstructure stabilizes.
Ethereum optimized for decentralization first, performance second, execution fairness third. Solana optimized for performance first. Fogo appears to be optimizing for execution integrity as a core primitive, not a patch.
Most chains treat MEV as an inevitable byproduct. Fogo treats it as an architectural design variable.
And that reframes something important: the real competition between chains isn’t TPS. It’s who controls the ordering game.
Because the hidden tax in crypto isn’t gas.
It’s who gets to see your trade before it happens.

Există o adevăr incomod care stă în centrul Web3.
Nu este scalabilitate.
Nu este reglementare.
Nu este nici măcar experiența utilizatorului.
Este coordonare fără responsabilitate.
Am construit sisteme în care toată lumea poate participa, dar nimeni nu este cu adevărat responsabil. Și pentru o vreme, asta a părut ca un progres. Fără controlori. Fără autoritate centrală. Fără un singur punct de eșec.
Dar undeva pe parcurs, am confundat eliminarea controlului cu eliminarea responsabilității.
Vorbitul despre descentralizare și proprietate nu se mai termină. Încadrăm inovația ca pe ceva ce se întâmplă automat odată ce puterea este distribuită. Presupunem că dacă suficiente portofele votează, suficiente dezvoltatori construiesc și suficiente stimulente există, alinierea va apărea cumva de la sine.

Iată adevărul incomod: majoritatea Web3 nu eșuează zgomotos. Eșuează în tăcere.
Lucrurile pur și simplu încetează să funcționeze. Legăturile se rup. Activele dispar în spatele serverelor expirate. Jocurile se opresc. DAO-urile se estompează în inactivitate. Podurile suspendă retragerile. Hărțile de cale se dizolvă în actualizări vagi. Și restul dintre noi trecem la următoarea narațiune ca și cum nimic din toate acestea nu s-ar fi întâmplat.
Discutăm fără încetare despre descentralizare, proprietate și inovație. Sărbătorim ideea sistemelor „fără încredere”. Ne certăm despre scalabilitate și capacitate. Dar rar ne așezăm cu întrebarea mai plictisitoare, mai puțin strălucitoare:

Dacă suntem cinstiți, Web3 nu are o problemă de scalare.
Are o problemă de responsabilitate.
Suntem foarte buni la a aduna oameni în jurul unei idei. Putem coordona bani, atenție, voturi, meme, lichiditate, toate într-o chestiune de ore. Putem lansa un DAO într-un weekend. Lansați un token într-o zi. Strângeți capital mai repede decât majoritatea startup-urilor pot deschide un cont bancar.
Dar când ceva merge prost, sau chiar pur și simplu dispare în liniște, nimeni nu este cu adevărat responsabil.
Aceasta este partea despre care nu vorbim.
Vorbindem despre descentralizare. Vorbindem despre proprietate. Vorbindem despre inovație. Spunem că construim un nou sistem financiar, un nou internet, o nouă structură socială.
