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.
