Incentive Pools
Lava Foundation
Feb 25, 2025

Introduction

Everyone should know by now, that Lava Network is a staking marketplace where you can earn tokens from your favorite chains.

Well ... since we started compiling this month's report, we've realized that over $500k USDC (or $0.5M USDC) has been distributed to Providers in rewards!

This milestone highlights the commitment the Lava Foundation has to Providers, and it is also a testament to the invaluable services that you provide.

Together, we are truly making infra great again.

V5 has also gone live with Reputation taking center stage, and we encourage all providers to visit the 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 January 2025 to 17 February 2025.

January '25 to February '25 in Numbers 🧮

As a reminder, In line with our previous announcements, low-performing providers contributing less than 1% of the total CU were not taken into consideration for rewards.

This step ensures that rewards are directed to providers delivering significant contributions to the network.

Additionally, you can browse the detailed spreadsheets showing metrics for individual providers and chains on the Monthly Provider Data page.
