VIA: Bitcoin L2 Built for Productive Liquidity

VIA: Bitcoin L2 Built for Productive Liquidity

When we started with Viacoin in 2014, we knew that we are not going to just stop there. We didn’t want to create just another crypto project using Bitcoin’s consensus - we wanted to build something more meaningful on top of Bitcoin. To do that, we focused on the core problems:

  • Bitcoin users have no access to DeFi
  • EVM chains lack Bitcoin-grade security
  • Liquidity is no productive in almost all L2s

Via L2 was created, as a culmination of everything we learned from 2014 over the past decade, incorporating ideas from multiple designs, Layer 1s, rollups, and early Bitcoin networks.

🚀
Moving forward VIA is becoming VIA Network, the meeting point where Bitcoin and Ethereum liquidity converge to unlock the full potential of DeFi.

VIA is the Bitcoin's next chapter!

VIA Network now has a distinct mission to unlock idle liquidity, while turning it into active, yield-generating capital.

VIA isn’t just another Layer 2, it’s a sovereign, Bitcoin-secured zkEVM chain that brings native yield to all bridged assets.

It allows Ethereum users to earn yield automatically, when bridging assets to VIA. Their assets become vTokens that work everywhere on VIA. You can pay fees, trade, provide liquidity, use them as collateral, or simply hold them. And no matter what you do, they keep earning yield in the background.

Bitcoin users can also bridge BTC to access VIA DeFi (native BTC yield opportunities are coming soon).

What makes VIA different from other L2s?

Did you know that today, over $30 billion in crypto assets are bridged to Layer 2 chains. Yet, these assets sit in idle vaults, generating zero return for their holders.
circa nov 2025

The problem is that current L2s replicate liquidity, but they don’t make it productive… billions in bridged assets remain locked and unused. Money flows onto these networks, but it doesn’t work for the users who bring it there. This leaves enormous value trapped in idle form instead of generating real returns.

VIA changes this dynamic completely!

Where other L2s simply hold your assets, while VIA makes them productive by default, transforming passive liquidity into an active, growing base layer for the entire ecosystem. It’s the first Bitcoin-anchored L2 where users keep full liquidity and gain real yield at the same time.

VIA connect Ethereum with Bitcoin

Via connects Ethereum’s deep liquidity with Bitcoin’s unmatched security. It gives Bitcoin users access to DeFi, and Ethereum users access to Bitcoin’s secure settlement layer.

By combining Bitcoin’s unmatched security with DeFi ecosystem, VIA creates a secure and DeFi-friendly chain where every asset works for you.

MAINNET COMING SOON!

The VIA Network Bridge is now live on Testnet. Mainnet is coming soon, so join the waitlist here and be the first to enjoy frictionless, yield-by-default mechanism on VIA.
