What is Lava Network?
Overview
Lava Network coordinates traffic for RPC requests—the fundamental calls used to interact with blockchains, from sending transactions to checking wallet balances. The protocol aggregates data providers and intelligently directs traffic based on speed and reliability. Chains and applications including NEAR, Starknet, Filecoin, and Axelar already use Lava's service, with stakers and providers earning over $1 million to maintain ultra-reliable infrastructure.
How it works
Lava operates as a protocol layer that receives RPC requests from applications and agents across supported blockchains. It evaluates available providers based on performance data and routes requests to the most reliable and fastest nodes. The system ensures 24/7 availability with no downtime for blockchain interactions.
Token and supply
LAVA has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. The token is used for staking by providers who earn rewards for offering reliable service. Stakers and infrastructure operators receive payments for maintaining the protocol's uptime and performance standards.
