❓ Improve Security: Protect transactions against fraud and tampering.

❓ Ensure Compliance: Align with financial regulations and data privacy standards.

VIA designed an end-to-end blockchain payment platform combining distributed ledger technology with smart contracts and API integrations:

✅ Private Blockchain Network: Built on Hyperledger Fabric to ensure transaction privacy and scalability.

✅ Multi-Currency Wallets: Enabled instant currency conversion and settlements in USD, EUR, and local currencies.
