Lava Foundation
Nov 17, 2024

Introduction

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

Make infrastructure fun again.

November to December 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.The exception this month is NEAR, where all providers are eligible. This is to ensure fairness since CUs and payments were calculated over 1.5 months.

Additionally, you can browse this detailed spreadsheet which shows metrics for individual providers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rT7bvDcZ9w-QEyPZoJDyCEPyRNf5O9-z0Tr-71LuHc4/edit?usp=sharing

The spreadsheet aims to bring transparency into how rewards are calculated and why your rewards may have changed month on month:
