VIA is a zero-knowledge rollup (Layer 2) built on top of Bitcoin. Users can natively bridge assets from Bitcoin and other chains and pay for transactions using Bitcoin. The EVM compatibility allows developers to deploy any type of decentralized application.

VIA integrates a zkEVM for advanced execution capabilities and Celestia for efficient data availability. This blend allows VIA to offer enhanced scalability and programmability for Bitcoin. Additionally, we make it a big commitment to foster a rich ecosystem of native applications such as Liquid Mining and fund innovative research initiatives like Bitcoin DA.

VIA's Bridge is a critical component that facilitates the secure transfer of assets between Bitcoin and other EVM Blockchains to the VIA Network. The Bridge ensures that transactions are executed smoothly and securely while preserving the integrity of both networks. We support native bridging of Bitcoin from the Bitcoin network and other types of tokens from different networks such as ETH or Arbitrum.

Yes! One of the primary objectives of VIA is to enable all of the decentralized applications to run on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. VIA allows developing and running complex DeFi applications, such as lending platforms and decentralized exchange, directly on top of Bitcoin.

VIA is designed with security and data integrity as top priorities. By leveraging the security and decentralization of Bitcoin with Celestia's advanced data availability solutions, VIA ensures all transactions are secure and reliable.
