Benefits of using Axelar Public RPC on Lava☄️

Lava brings many benefits for everyone in the Axelar ecosystem:

For developers:

🥳 Free, high rate limit of 30 req/sec/IP
🌐 Multiple interface support: Tendermint, gRPC, Websockets, REST
⚡ Fast response times, by pairing to nodes p2p based on geolocation
All of these sum up to a better experience for users on your dapp

For node runners:

💸 Get paid by Axelar
🧑‍💻 Reach more users
🥇 Use your on-chain QoS score for marketing

For the community & team

🧑‍💻 Improved developer onboarding
😀 Seamless user experiences
👀 Monitor and optimize the quality of Axelar public infra

Get started with the Axelar RPC endpoints
‍

- Head over to our Axelar public RPC page
- Copy and past the endpoints for the relevant API interface you're building with
- Plug the endpoint into your code and start building - we have a generous rate limit of 30 req/second/IP on the public endpoints, and 50 req/second on the gateway.

How does Lava provide high quality, multichain RPC?

Lava is an open-source protocol and network of node providers who can quickly add support for new chains, RPC & APIs. The protocol pairs apps with the best available node at any given time.

Lava offers a suite of tools - our Gateway and our SDK - to give developers easy ways to connect to multiple chains at once. Connections are peer-to-peer and there is no increased latency vs using other providers. Alongside individual node runners, larger services like Alchemy or Infura are also able to join Lava to serve their requests - and Lava would always pair developers with the best available node.

Lava is designed to increase chain support via a modular architecture we call "Specs" or "Specificiations". Think lego blocks for APIs. Specs are JSON files that detail the minimum requirements for an API to be run on Lava and supported by providers on the network. Recently we added a new Spec for Axelar RPC, enabling Axelar RPC providers to give service on Lava.

The providers who want to meet demand for the chain and API are unified under a single, highly reliable endpoint that any developer can access for free, with built-in quality of service and data accuracy mechanisms. Participating in ipRPC, providers are incentivized by Axelar, and are paid according to the volume & quality of their service. This means that excellent providers get to serve more consumers, increase their income and improve their reputation.

Beyond adding existing Axelar providers to the pool, the incentives attract new node runners to the ecosystem, which are known to be highly engaged and valuable members for any blockchain community.

With Incentivized Public RPC, we’re also introduce monitoring tools, giving node runners easy insights into how they can improve their service, as well as providing developers with transparent reports into the quality of service of the network.

LFG!! 🚀🚀

We’re extremely excited to support Axelar's vision for interoperability with our public good. Lava’s values are highly aligned with the Axelar community, and we’re glad to have the opportunity to contribute our part to its success.
