Key Benefits
Connecting the Albanian diaspora
ViAL seeks to connect the Albanian society
under one virtual roof. The ViAL platform
will be the place where Albanians can
work, collaborate, trade, and communicate
with each other no matter where they are.

A society ruled by its people


Society is defined as a group of people
broadly distinguished from other groups
by mutual interests, participation in
characteristic relationships, shared
institutions, and a common culture.
No central control can manipulate the
ViAL DAO, and it will always follow the
community’s interests.

Fair economy and new sources of value


ViAL will build an environment where
people can extract the real value from
their efforts. Having a transparent and
largely autonomous economic system
through blockchain limits the bad actor’s
ability to exploit the honest people in the
market. Additionally, ViAL’s ecosystem and
the blockchain infrastructure will bring new
sources of value to society.

We plan to enable third-party integration

Here are two examples:

the global Metaverse. Therefore, it
will certainly integrate via bridges

examples may include (the list is
