VIA Network Expands Cross-Chain Integration with Over Protocol

**Single-chain dApps are becoming obsolete** as user behavior and market dynamics shift dramatically. **The user mindset changed completely:** - 2021: "What chain are you on?" - 2025: "Why can't I use this on my preferred chain?" Users now refuse to switch chains and simply find competitors on their native blockchain instead. **Capital fragmentation tells the story:** - Ethereum: $115B TVL - Solana: $20B TVL - Base: $4B TVL - Arbitrum: $3B TVL Building on one chain means **accessing only 10% of available liquidity**. **Major protocols already adapted:** - Uniswap: 39 chains - Aave: 18 chains - Curve: 28 chains New single-chain protocols compete against battle-tested multi-chain giants. **Technical barriers collapsed.** Cross-chain deployment now offers: - Single integration across all chains - Unified liquidity pools - Chain-agnostic user experience The 2021 strategy of focused single-chain development made sense with few options. Today's landscape features hundreds of chains with scattered users. **The math is simple:** If users are everywhere, protocols must be everywhere too.

**VIA Labs is launching cross-chain connectivity** for three major ecosystems: Stellar, Midnight, and Cardano. The integration will connect these networks to **140+ other blockchains**, enabling: - **Native asset transfers** across chains - **Shared liquidity pools** between ecosystems - **Seamless connectivity** for developers This represents a significant step toward true blockchain interoperability, allowing decentralized applications to operate across multiple networks without barriers. VIA Labs uses secure message passing and a decentralized validator network to ensure transaction integrity across chains.

**Decycle**, an ETHGlobal Prague prize-winning project, demonstrates practical blockchain integration with real-world recycling systems. The initiative showcases how distributed ledger technology can enhance recycling infrastructure. The Decycle team will present their innovation at two major upcoming events: - Pragma Conference - ETHGlobal Cannes (July 3rd - 6th) This project exemplifies practical blockchain applications beyond financial services, focusing on environmental sustainability and waste management solutions. *Want to learn more?* Meet the team in person at ETHGlobal Cannes.

The Avalanche Summit London is set for May 20-22, 2025 at the Hatfield House. VIA Labs will be represented by London-native Jake Salthouse at this major blockchain gathering. Key Details: - 1,500+ blockchain builders expected on-site - Focus on cross-chain developments in Avalanche ecosystem - Technical discussions and networking opportunities The event promises insights from Web3 innovators, including presentations on Avalanche L1's role in mobile gaming cross-promotion.
