Lava Network

Lava Network is a decentralized protocol that manages blockchain data traffic across multiple networks. Many call it the "resilience layer" of the on-chain economy. The network works by bringing together independent Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers like Alchemy, Blockdaemon, and Chainstack, then routing traffic based on their speed and reliability. This decentralized setup fixes a common issue in blockchain infrastructure, where most ecosystems depend on just a few centralized providers. Lava supports over 40 blockchains, handles more than 150 billion RPC calls, and serves over 2.5 million users. The platform also lets AI agents access blockchain data across multiple chains without permission, working with popular tools like web3.js and ethers.js.

Lava Network was founded in 2022 by Israeli entrepreneurs Yair Cleper and Gil Binder. It launched its public mainnet in July 2024 after a long testnet phase that processed over 40 billion RPC requests. The project took a different path for its launch by distributing 55 million LAVA tokens through an airdrop to 70,000 users and listing directly on decentralized exchanges instead of using the usual low-float model. Since the mainnet launch, the protocol has earned over $3.5 million in on-chain revenue, with blockchain projects paying LAVA stakers and providers for reliable infrastructure services.

The project has gained strong support from major crypto investors. In February 2024, Lava raised $15 million in seed funding led by Jump Capital, HashKey Capital, and Tribe Capital, with help from Alliance DAO, Protocol Labs, StarkWare, and early investors from Alchemy, Blockdaemon, and ConsenSys. Later, the Lava Foundation raised another $11 million from investors like Animoca Brands, CoinGecko Ventures, and Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal. These partnerships go beyond money, as several blockchain ecosystems such as NEAR, Evmos, Axelar, and Starknet have contributed tokens to incentive pools that reward network participants.

Lava Network’s native token, $LAVA, has many roles in the ecosystem beyond just trading. Token holders can stake LAVA with validators to earn rewards and also re-stake with RPC providers to make the most of their capital through the network’s dual staking system. The protocol uses a deflationary model where LAVA pays for RPC services and helps govern the network, with burn mechanisms that activate when staking hits certain levels. Blockchain projects also set up LAVA-based incentive pools to attract top RPC providers, creating a competitive market where providers earn rewards based on how good and reliable their services are.
