Introducing Lava Network v5
News & Updates
Lava Foundation
Feb 13, 2025
A new chain was added to Lava! 🍾🍾
RPC for Polygon Mainnet & Testnet is now available on our testnet, via the Gateway and Server Kit!
Lava enables Polygon developers to focus on building web3 apps with the best user experience. Fast, reliable & open-source — the decentralized Lava way.
Polygon Labs has developed a growing suite of protocols for developers to gain easy access to major scaling solutions, including layer 2s, sidechains, hybrid chains, app-specific chains, enterprise chains, and data availability protocols.
Scaling solutions that Polygon Labs initially developed have seen widespread adoption with tens of thousands of decentralized apps, unique addresses exceeding 223 million, over 1.2 million smart contracts created and 2.52 billion total transactions processed since inception.
The existing Polygon network is home for some of the biggest Web3 projects, such as Aave, Uniswap, and OpenSea, and well-known enterprises, including Robinhood, Stripe and Adobe. Polygon Labs is carbon neutral with the goal of leading Web3 in becoming carbon negative.
Lava is equipping builders with automatic access to a decentralized network of Polygon RPC & API endpoints, without having to spend time and money on their own node-infrastructure, or to rely on centralized/public endpoints. Why rely on one endpoint when you can leverage multiple at once, without any extra work?
Lava provides Polygon endpoints that support JSON-RPC and Websocket Subscriptions! ⚡
📢 ️Calling developers! Start using Lava RPC, join our developer community and help us build Lava 🌋
You can also get started together with our DevRel @kagemniarimu, who’s made a really great tutorial, especially for Polygon Devs! ️🎓👇
Tutorial: Using Lava Gateway for Polygon RPC (with web3.js)
Developers can also use our Server Kit to build their own self-hosted gateway, and gain p2p access to providers on Lava Network.
Very soon we’ll release our SDK — a JavaScript / 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!
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.
