Last updated
VIA Labs' cross-chain network uses a multi-layered validation process to ensure the security and integrity of transactions. This decentralized approach protects against unauthorized or fraudulent messages by requiring consensus across multiple independent layers.
Operated by VIA Labs: This layer validates transactions within the VIA Labs ecosystem.
Proof of Authority: No stake required. Validation rewards not given.
Managed by Blockchain Foundations: Each blockchain involved (e.g., Blockchain A) manages its own validation layer.
Independent Validation: Ensures that messages exiting the blockchain are verified.
Proof of Authority: No stake required. Validation rewards not given.
Project-Level Operation: Integrating dApps can operate their own private validation layer.
Dedicated Security: Provides additional security tailored to the specific needs of the project.
Proof of Authority: No stake required. Validation rewards not given.
Community-Driven: Open to individuals, decentralized applications (dApps), and foundations.
Staking Requirement: Participants must stake $VIA tokens to participate.
Proof of Liquidity: Stake is required. Validators earn rewards.
Consensus Mechanism: For a transaction to be processed, it must pass through all four layers. The PoL Layer verifies with a 51% consensus mechanism.
