We’re excited to announce that Lava is now powering decentralized APIs for Aptos Mainnet!
Aptos builders can join our testnet and get fast, reliable & private access to blockchain APIs - the decentralized way 🌋
Aptos Labs, co-founded by Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, is dedicated to creating better network tooling and seamless usability to bring the benefits of decentralization to the masses.
Having now raised over $400M, Aptos Labs is backed by top-flight investors, including a16z, Jump Crypto, Binance Labs, Dragonfly, PayPal Ventures and Coinbase Ventures.
Lava is empowering Aptos developers with decentralized access to Aptos Mainnet APIs, without having to host their own infrastructure, rely on public endpoints or centralized providers.
Calling developers! Start using Lava RPC, join our developer community and help us build Lava 🌋
Developers can also use our Server Kit, to build their own private gateway, to gain p2p access to providers on Lava Network.
In addition to the Gateway and Server Kit, our most exciting product is in late stages of development! The Lava SDK — is a TypeScript implementation of Lava’s Protocol, that empowers developers with plug & play integration of multi-chain RPC, by adding a simple js library to their code!
Many assume that decentralization = lower performance, due to the coordination efforts associated with reaching consensus. However, in the context of blockchain APIs, decentralization is actually the best way to achieve maximum performance, reliability and accuracy.
Apps that are using Lava gain access to a network of top-tier RPC providers, that are incentivized to give the best service all around.
Lava is a decentralized network of top-tier API providers that developers can subscribe to for access to any blockchain. Providers are rewarded for their quality of service, meaning apps and users get maximum speed, data integrity and uptime. RPC requests are routed to multiple endpoints at once, meaning anyone can privately query or send transactions on-chain, while being matched to the most performant and reliable providers.
We help developers build web3 apps on any chain, with reliable, performant and decentralized node infrastructure.
