Incentive Pools
Lava Foundation
Jan 17, 2025

Introduction

Lava Network is a staking marketplace where you can earn tokens from your favorite chains.

Chains create incentive pools on Lava, paying LAVA stakers and data providers to provide fast, reliable infrastructure. Payments are in the tokens of the different chains, with $1m+ in various tokens such as NEAR, STRK already live. Lava supports 3m+ monthly users and infrastructure for 40+ chains, with new chains and pools added monthly.

Let's make infra great again.

As a side note, we've made some changes to the format of this monthly report and we're now encouraging all providers to visit our NEW Provider Rewards page for a detailed breakdown of past, current and estimated future reward amounts!

Below you will find a summary of activity for selected Lava RPC incentive pools from 17 December 2024 to 17 January 2025.
