Lava is a protocol which directs AI agent and user traffic to the fastest and most reliable RPC providers on every chain. RPC providers handle essential blockchain user interactions e.g. transactions, wallet balance checks, minting, staking and much more.
The Lava protocol has generated $3.5m+ in revenue since August 2024, with chains and dapps like NEAR, Starknet, Filecoin, and Axelar already paying LAVA stakers and providers $1m+. Staking LAVA helps direct RPC requests to the best providers.
If blockchains are cities, Lava provides the roads.
It’s simple; RPC providers stake LAVA to handle data and transactions on any blockchain.
We already supported multiple pools on Lava, with Incentivized RPC partnerships with NEAR protocol, Evmos and Axelar.
