Transaction Flows Overview

Learn about the main Transaction Flows in VIA Protocol.

This section details the three primary transaction types supported by VIA Protocol:

• L2 Transactions

• Deposits (Priority Operations)

• Withdrawals

In VIA Protocol, the Sequencer and Verifiers do not share or exchange data directly. Instead, all entities rely solely on Bitcoin as the single source of truth and communicate by sending various inscriptions on Bitcoin. Each Verifier Node operates independently, collaborating only during the MuSig2 protocol for signature aggregation. Even in that collaborative process, each Verifier performs its own validations using data that has been recorded on Bitcoin by different system participants.

In the following subsections, we will walk through the end-to-end flow for each type, examining the key components and processes involved from initiating transaction to final confirmation on Bitcoin.
