What is Lava Network?
With Lava, rollup developers permissionlessly create incentive pools to attract infrastructure providers. Support can be added for any type of infrastructure e.g. RPC or indexing.
Providers join Lava to serve users and developers on each chain. Lava helps ecosystems bootstrap critical infrastructure, while improving performance and decentralization.
Lava is modular and permissionless - it can quickly support any new chain or rollup. Whether you're launching an airdrop or a mainnet, Lava can dynamically scale RPC to meet demand.
Starting with RPC
RPC is how your wallets and dapps connect to the blockchain.
