VIA Labs launches cross-chain messaging between Stellar and Ethereum
- —Soroban contracts on Stellar can now message EVM contracts on Ethereum in both directions
- —Burn-and-mint transfers take one to three minutes, with fees paid in XLM or ETH gas
- —VIA is waiving its protocol fee on Stellar routes during the launch period
- —VG1 contracts were audited by Hashlock; a reference token VIAT demonstrates transfers
Why it matters: Stellar broadens interoperability for stablecoins and tokenized assets as Securitize and DTCC plan their own integrations.
