Vanar Chain, a layer-1 blockchain network, has launched a new artificial intelligence-powered compression and data authentication layer designed to address the industry’s longstanding issue with onchain storage.
Vanar Chain is launching Neutron, an AI-native blockchain layer with data compression ratios of up to 500:1, which can reduce a standard 25 megabyte file to just 50 kilobytes, transforming it into a “Neutron Seed” that can be stored on the blockchain ledger.
The new blockchain compression layer aims to solve the industry’s data storage issue, with traditional blockchains lacking the capacity to store data, only to reference it.
This design introduces potential single points of failure. Vanar’s Neutron aims to solve this by enabling fully onchain, verifiable data storage.
Neutron is a “world first” which “handles both physical file compression and semantic compression, meaning it compresses not just the file itself but the meaning inside it,” Jawad Ashraf, CEO of Vanar
