Last updated 6 months ago

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.

VIA Layer

  • Operated by VIA Labs: This layer validates transactions within the VIA Labs ecosystem.

  • Proof of Authority: No stake required. Validation rewards not given.

Chain Layer

  • 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 Layer

  • 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.

PoL Layer - Coming Soon

  • 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.
