Building the foundation for a connected, interoperable Web3
We’re excited to announce our partnership with VIA Labs, a fast-growing Web3 infrastructure company that’s redefining how data, tokens, and NFTs move between blockchains.
VIA Labs’ vision is to make communication between blockchain ecosystems seamless. Their cross-chain messaging infrastructure already connects more than 140 networks, spanning both EVM and non-EVM blockchains such as Stellar and Cardano. In collaboration with them, we’re building the foundation for secure, scalable, and seamless interoperability across blockchain ecosystems.
Connecting a Fragmented Blockchain Landscape
Fragmentation remains one of Web3’s biggest challenges. Each blockchain operates with unique rules, programming models, and transaction systems.
VIA Labs’ messaging infrastructure acts as a universal translation layer that allows developers to build and connect across multiple ecosystems without managing each network’s complexity.
To make this possible, VIA Labs partnered with Cheesecake Labs for our experience in blockchain architecture, security, and development – aligning technology and strategy to ensure smooth interoperability for both developers and end users.
Expanding Interoperability: Stellar Joins the Network
VIA Labs’ progress in cross-chain innovation was recently recognized by the Stellar Community Fund, which awarded the project a $95,000 grant for advancing interoperability between Stellar and other blockchain ecosystems.
To bring Stellar into the network, VIA Labs is working with Cheesecake Labs to design and implement a secure, native integration that connects Stellar with EVM-based environments. This enables the smooth movement of tokens, messages, and digital assets between both ecosystems while maintaining consistency, reliability, and developer simplicity.
Protecting Privacy Across Chains: The VIA Labs x Midnight Integration
Interoperability is only part of the story. VIA Labs is also advancing privacy in blockchain through collaboration with Midnight, Cardano’s new privacy-focused network.
Built on zero-knowledge cryptography, Midnight allows developers to protect user data while maintaining regulatory compliance. With Cheesecake Labs’ engineering support, Midnight’s privacy layer will soon be connected to VIA Labs’ infrastructure, enabling secure, privacy-preserving communication across more than 140 blockchains.
This integration provides developers with the foundation to create data-protected, interoperable applications that strike a balance between decentralization, privacy, and compliance.
Built for Scale, Designed for Developers
Our work with VIA Labs followed the same principles that guide every Cheesecake Labs partnership:
- Scalable by design: Reusable modules that make it faster to integrate new blockchains.
- Secure to the core: Strong cryptographic standards from key management to transaction validation.
- Developer-first experience: Unified SDKs and APIs that simplify cross-chain development and integration.
These design choices position VIA Labs not just as another Web3 protocol but as a core infrastructure layer powering the next generation of decentralized applications.
“Working alongside Cheesecake Labs has been a seamless experience from onboarding through delivery. Their team is professional, curious, and highly adaptive—always quick to meet our cross-chain needs, even when the targets evolve mid-flight. They’ve become an extension of our own engineering culture at VIA Labs.”
— Robert (Cletus) Pilat, COO at VIA Labs
The Future of Interoperable Web3
The Cheesecake Labs x VIA Labs collaboration marks a major step toward a more connected and developer-friendly Web3 ecosystem.
- For developers, it simplifies cross-chain app creation.
- For enterprises, it provides scalability and regulatory trust.
- For the ecosystem, it accelerates the shift toward secure and privacy-first interoperability.
As VIA Labs continues to expand its omni-chain protocol to new blockchains and privacy networks, Cheesecake Labs remains a dedicated engineering partner, building the foundation for the next phase of Web3 innovation.
Looking Ahead
This partnership is just the beginning. Together with VIA Labs, we’ll continue advancing cross-chain standards, integrating emerging Layer-2 networks, and exploring privacy-enhancing technologies that make Web3 more open, secure, and user-centric.
At Cheesecake Labs, we’re proud to be part of this journey, combining strategic thinking, technical excellence, and collaboration to help shape the future of decentralized infrastructure.
