How to apply

NOTE: Movement Mainnet is not yet live. This spec is for Movement testnet and should first be launched on Lava testnet.

Step 1 [YOU ARE HERE] - Submit your application for review

• Check out the guide in our documentation about how to create a spec: https://docs.lavanet.xyz/spec
• Submit a PR with your Movement spec to https://github.com/lavanet/lava-config.
• Put your Discord username in the PR
• Put your Lava address(es) in the spec
• Champions earn a % of Provider rewards every time the Provider uses the spec.
  • In your application, you should add your desired % commission of LAVA tokens. Lava Foundation will vote yes for your proposal and support various % commission rates based on the below:
    • +1% - support and running a Provider on testnet
    • +1% - creating a spec from scratch (inheritance is only worth 0.5% and is mandatory if possible)
    • +1% - benchmarking CU and timeouts
    • +1% - providing active support to Providers, if more than 20 providers are retained over 3 months
    • +2-3% - if an ecosystem creates an incentive pools based on your referral
• 500 words on why you are a good fit to be the champion for this spec and chain
  • E.g. “I’m an active validator on Movement, I contribute code, I helped on Lava testnet, this is my plan to support Movement on Lava."

Once your application has been reviewed:

‍

Step 2 - We will let you know if the Foundation will support your proposal to Lava governance. Of course, you are free to create a proposal without prior communication with the Foundation, and the token holders will vote.

‍

We strongly suggest consulting with the Foundation before making your proposal on-chain.

• You can learn how to submit a proposal here.

Deadline to apply

Champions have until 29 October to submit their PR.

Rewards

Lava tokenomics has been designed carefully to incentivize key contributions to the network.

‍

RPC providers are paid LAVA and tokens from supported blockchains e.g. ATOM token. Champions earn a % of Provider rewards every time the Provider uses the spec.

• Earn LAVA and other tokens from the incentives pools every time the spec is used - forever.
  • E.g. if you are the champion for NEAR RPC - you will earn LAVA and NEAR when a Provider serves NEAR RPC over Lava.
• N.b. Champions can be replaced via governance vote.

You can learn more about rewards for Champions in our tokenomics: docs.lavanet.xyz/token.

‍

Conclusion

There are many ways to contribute to Lava. Spec Champions are participants who extend Lava's support to more chains and services.

‍

We encourage submissions for the Movement Champion prior to Tuesday 29 October 2024, before voting commences on 31 October (dates tbc).

‍

Lava is building a 4-sided marketplace for blockchain infrastructure.

Lava's vision is to 10x the onchain experience for everyone.
