VIA Labs cross-chain infrastructure

Hi Fuse team and community,

VIA Labs are currently in the process of deploying our cross-chain infrastructure on the Fuse Sparknet and then Mainnet.

VIA Labs is an interoperability protocol that offers decentralized, trustless inter-blockchain communication. An integration into the VIA network allows you to effectively "Break Down the Barriers Between Blockchains” by connecting your blockchain with an existing ecosystem. We provide the infrastructure for developers to build cross-chain products enabling smart contract to contract communication this allows you to send messages, data or value from chain to chain.

VIA Labs has been building for 3 years and supports over 100 chains, we are also in the process of supporting non EVM chains as well. We have built an omnichain messaging layer deployed on chains themselves meaning we do not use any intermediate chain and process messages to the finality of the chains you are using.

Our infra supports cross-chain native tokens/NFT’s, marketplaces, launchpads, airdrops, omnichain lending, unified metaverses, bridges, oracle relay’s, VRF’s and also the bridged USDC standard.

We would like to propose a grant application to the team to implement the bridged USDC standard to Fuse mainnet and also Fuse SDK (when launched). VIA is apart of the Circle alliance and supports the standard which is it’s a key step to enable CCTP early on your network. Functionally acting the same as CCTP before the full upgrade takes hold. All contracts are verified by Circle and handed over to your chain’s foundation.

Implementation of the VIA infrastructure will mean that projects currently launched on Fuse can also utilise the Fuse SDK ecosystem without having to migrate their whole protocol, as well as being open to communities and ecosystems from all integrated chains within the VIA ecosystem.

For developers to build using VIA infrastructure is completely free of charge and our developers are more then happy to help with questions within our documentation, products can be built for protocol by requesting a quote. VIA messaging cost $0.25 per message, No matter how much value you send, $100 or $1 million, the fee stays the same.

We look forward to supporting your ecosystem and working closely with the foundation and the existing protocols within the Fuse network.
