what's lava network?
Lava Network is a decentralized infrastructure protocol that provides reliable and high-performance RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoints for accessing multiple blockchains. It enables developers and users to interact with over 30 chains, including Ethereum, Cosmos, and Solana, by routing requests to a network of providers for enhanced uptime and censorship resistance. The project uses a modular architecture with "specs" for various services like indexing and subgraphs, and incentivizes node operators through its proof-of-stake model and LAVA token staking. Lava has powered billions of RPC requests, supporting wallets, dApps, and ecosystems to scale without single points of failure. It focuses on future-proofing blockchain access amid growing on-chain activity.
Lava Network partners with Cito Labs, integrates 99 dApps, and features a speaker at BUIDL Conference.
