LAVA

#3351

Lava coordinates a global, distributed network of independent RPC providers such as Alchemy (Bware Labs), Blockdaemon, Chainstack and many individual node runners. This ensures uptime, reliability and helps both newer or smaller chains to bootstrap their own infrastructure in minutes. Lava already supports 1m+ users daily on 40+ chains, and has secured over $1M in onchain revenue.

For AI agents, Lava unlocks fully peer-to-peer and permissionless multi-chain RPC, and other services such as indexed data. The protocol supports basic integrations with popular frameworks such as web3.js, ethers.js, cosm.js and viem. It is also possible to extend these integrations to AI agent development kits - so agents can truly use blockchains 24/7, without any obstacles.

Adding new chains and services to Lava is open-source and permissionless. Contributors, or chains themselves, write JSON files to define specifications such as API methods and compute requirements. Blockchains increasingly feel like digital cities, with their own thriving economies and citizens. Integrating specifications to Lava is akin to expanding Uber to new cities, making previously underserved regions easier to reach and faster to navigate.

If blockchains are cities, Lava owns the roads. Holding LAVA = owning the roads.

(Data) Providers e.g. RPC node runners, indexers are entities who stake LAVA to register on the Lava blockchain. Providers offer services such as RPC Validators stake LAVA to secure the Lava blockchain LAVA stakers delegate to Validators to secure the Lava blockchain. LAVA restakers delegate to top Providers to direct more RPC traffic to them Consumers e.g. dapps, wallets are entities who can purchase onchain subscriptions in LAVA, for high-scale infrastructure services
