RPC Provider Setup Guide: Movement Incentive Pool

Incentive Pools
Lava Foundation
Mar 11, 2025

Introduction

Lava Foundation now supports an Incentive Pool for Movement RPC, rewarding Lava network contributors, including LAVA restakers & Movement RPC providers.

The total incentives amount to $100k across 9 months, with rewards going to LAVA restakers and Movement RPC Providers on Lava—both of which will help scale and handle Movement RPC traffic.

Important note on rewards:

  • First month (until March 17th): Rewards will be available on Movement mainnet only. The following months (after March 17th) rewards will be available for both Movement mainnet and testnet. 
  • Initial months: Rewards will be distributed in USDC.
  • Once MOVE is bridged to Cosmos: The rewards pool will be in native MOVE tokens.

You can access Movement RPC endpoints using the REST interface:

About RPC Incentive Pools on Lava

Lava's vision is to enable AI agents and anyone to use blockchain apps, 24/7, with no downtime.

Specifically, Lava coordinates LAVA restakers and RPC providers to handle RPC traffic for different blockchains.

  • RPC providers serve RPC requests
  • LAVA restakers direct RPC requests to top RPC providers

Lava works with chains and apps who are already paying LAVA stakers and providers to offer ultra-reliable, distributed, and decentralized RPC service.

Movement is now supporting the latest incentive pool on Lava.

Steps to Restake LAVA to a Movement RPC Provider

You can earn rewards from the Movement incentive pool by restaking LAVA.

Restaking LAVA to a Provider directs more RPC traffic towards them, keeping the network efficient and ensuring top Providers handle more traffic. Restaking also helps secure the Lava blockchain, since all restakers must first stake to a Lava Validator on the Lava blockchain.
