Background

VIA Labs

Overview

VIA Labs is revolutionizing the blockchain space by empowering seamless cross-chain interoperability. Our mission is to enable secure and efficient communication between different blockchain networks, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized applications and fostering a connected blockchain ecosystem.

We envision a future where decentralized applications can operate effortlessly across multiple chains, breaking down barriers and extending their reach and functionality. Our technology empowers developers to build innovative, omni-chain products that can transform industries and economies.

Our protocol enables secure and general message passing, allowing decentralized applications to communicate across various blockchains. We also leverage a decentralized network of validators to ensure transaction integrity and provide multi-layer consensus and rewards for network participants.

Developement Tools

  • NPM Package: Our npm package includes the MessageClient class, which simplifies contract to contract cross chain data transfers.
  • Data Stream Client: Subscribe to realtime notification of message traffic with our stream package.
  • Hello- Examples: Example start repositories for cross chain ERC20, ERC721, and more.

Single-Chain dApps Face Extinction as Cross-Chain Becomes Mandatory

Thu 4th Dec 2025
**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.

Proto-USD Launches on Avalanche L1 Testnet with USDC Integration

Mon 3rd Mar 2025
VIA Labs has deployed Proto-USD on testnet for all Avalanche L1s, integrating Circle's Bridged USDC Standard and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Key features: - Enables USDC transfers from Ethereum, Base, and soon Solana - Utilizes Avalanche's native ICM infrastructure - Sets foundation for native USDC issuance The protocol is now live for testing at [Proto-USD Bridge](https://avax.protousd.com/). This follows the successful mainnet deployment of Proto-USD in January 2025, which established cross-chain USDC transfer capabilities. Blockchain teams interested in integration can contact VIA Labs directly.
