Launched in 2014 and built on the Bitcoin protocol, Viacoin (VIA) is a cryptocurrency for secure and fast P2P transactions. It is an open-source project that integrates innovative technologies including APoW, Lightning Network and SegWit.
VIA is created through the process of scrypt mining and is also able to be merged with other scrypt cryptos such as Litecoin by using an AuxPoW algorithm.
