Scaling Interoperability  
across 140+ Blockchains   
through a Cross-chain   
Messaging Network

Captura de Tela 2025-12-15 às 10.26.29 1.png

VIA Labs set out to solve one of Web3’s messiest problems: how to route assets across blockchains that don’t speak the same language.

The Cheesecake Labs team came on board to help connect VIA Labs’ protocol with Stellar and Cardano — none of which fit neatly with EVM standards.

### From EVM roots to a truly omni‑chain network

They're building the infrastructure layer for cross-chain communication, connecting [140+ public and private networks](https://vialabs.io/) with direct contract-to-contract messaging.

When it secured a grant to integrate Stellar and partnered with Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain [Midnight](https://midnight.network/), the project entered a new proving ground: Could EVM principles stretch across non-EVM terrain?

Captura de Tela 2025-12-15 às 10.28.31 1.png

VIA Labs needed to relay messages, tokens, and NFTs between EVM-based chains and these new integrations. But each ecosystem has fundamentally different ways of processing and verifying transactions.

For Investors Infos

## The interoperability wall

#000

Cardano uses validators built for the UTxO model, and Stellar uses WASM-based smart contracts. Neither maps easily to EVM.

Stellar uses Ed25519 signatures, EVM chains use ECDSA adds zero-knowledge proofs — systems that can’t natively verify one another.

Each chain records and validates data differently. Without normalization, a message from one network reads as gibberish on another.

Three protocols,
zero common ground

### More than a technical project  
Integrating Stellar and Cardano wouldn’t just untangle one of blockchain’s biggest technical knots. It was also central to VIA Labs’ long-term strategy.

It would open the protocol to new ecosystems, make onboarding easier for developers, and ultimately make VIA Labs impossible to ignore in cross-chain conversations.

They had the architecture and the protocol, but their engineering team needed help enabling cross-chain communication at the system level. They chose Cheesecake Labs to help them sync the unsyncable.

Captura de Tela 2025-12-15 às 10.35.49 1.png

Each component was designed for reuse, cutting future chain integration time by more than 50%.

Modular structure

Each signature scheme and message flow was reviewed for compliance and cryptographic integrity before being wired into the system.

Engineered for trust

To make development easier, we built abstraction layers that absorbed each chain’s quirks. That meant both teams — and future ones — could add new integrations without touching core logic.

One logic, any chain

We dove straight in from the first commit. Our team worked shoulder to shoulder with their engineers to pinpoint exactly where each system conflicted at the protocol level, and then decided what to abstract and what to translate.

Cheesecake Labs joins the build

Stellar’s XDR format and two-step WASM deployment didn’t mesh with EVM logic. We built an orchestration layer that interprets Stellar events in real time and triggers the appropriate actions on the EVM side, enabling both networks to operate as one.

Address converter for consistent identity mapping

Incompatible address formats (base32 vs. hex)

Signature translation layer to verify both securely

Signature mismatch (Ed25519 vs. ECDSA)

Event normalization engine to parse and standardize logs

Event and transaction encoding conflicts (XDR vs. ABI)

Unified deployment interface for both systems

Different deployment flows (two-step WASM vs. single-step bytecode)

Fee abstraction layer to calculate costs uniformly

Fee model differences (fixed bump vs. gas)

Multi-scheme validation layer to prevent mismatch or bypass

Diverging security checks

RPC/config fragmentation

Error normalization system with structured recovery logic

Error handling gaps

Deterministic end-to-end test suite for multi-chain validation

No cross-chain test harness

Stellar ↔ EVM

Issue

Cardano’s UTxO model leave no straightforward way to coordinate transactions to preserve cross-chain logic.

Off-chain orchestration layer to sync states reliably

Ledger model mismatch (UTxO vs. account-based)

Datum-based storage to maintain cross-chain context

Lack of shared storage

Event triggers by tracking Datum changes and metadata signals

No native event logs

Cardano ↔ EVM

Every layer of interoperability had to be re-engineered from scratch.

Tech stack at a glance

VIA Labs has achieved something most cross-chain systems rarely pull off: it exactly as promised, consistently and verifiably.  

Both the Stellar Community Fund and Cardano ecosystems validated the project, putting VIA Labs on the map as a new reference point for practical interoperability.
