FoxWallet is a decentralized, non-custodial, multi-chain wallet built for broad Web3 accessibility. Initially developed as a Filecoin-native wallet, it has evolved into a full-featured mobile and browser extension platform that supports more than 90 networks. These include both mainstream and emerging blockchains such as Cosmos, Solana, Tron, IronFish, Sui, and others.
The wallet includes features such as cross-chain and same-chain swaps, staking capabilities, dapp discovery, and multi-RPC configuration. The mobile application offers the widest range of functionality, while the browser extension has recently been upgraded to mirror this scope, enabling a consistent experience across platforms.
To support its large Filecoin user base, FoxWallet integrates Lava RPC alongside its own infrastructure. The decision to use Lava RPC for Filecoin was based on several factors:
FoxWallet leverages multiple RPC providers per network where necessary, but Lava has become a core component for Filecoin access due to its reliability and integration simplicity.
“If one of our nodes fails, we can use Lava to back it up — that really contributes to the reliability of the product.”

Lava endpoints are integrated within FoxWallet’s Filecoin infrastructure, working alongside FilFox and other internal services. This integration enhances data retrieval speed and supports stable wallet operation under heavy user demand. Lava’s distributed network architecture also provides resilience, ensuring availability even if FoxWallet’s internal services experience issues.
“Lava adds an extra layer of performance to the Filecoin network and to FoxWallet. Our developers didn’t even ask any questions… which means Lava was very easy to integrate.”

RPC infrastructure plays a direct role in the performance and scalability of Web3 wallets. FoxWallet’s integration of Lava RPC supports faster response times and improved uptime, particularly for Filecoin transactions. This level of reliability contributes to user satisfaction and retention, especially among the platform’s core user base in Southeast Asia.
By supplementing its infrastructure with Lava’s decentralized endpoints, FoxWallet ensures that it can meet demand spikes without compromising performance, while also reinforcing its commitment to decentralization.
