Lava is an access layer for blockchains that provides infrastructure for fast and reliable RPC node operators.

Lava

SubQuery Network specializes in providing decentralized data infrastructure, RPC services, and AI capabilities to empower application developers in the Web3 space. The company focuses on scalable and reliable solutions for dApp performance.

SubQuery Network

Lava is a decentralized network of API providers, where developers make one subscription to access any blockchain. Providers are rewarded for their quality of service, so your users can fetch data and send transactions with maximum speed, data integrity and uptime. Pairings are randomized, meaning your users can make make queries or transact in privacy. 

We help developers build web3-native apps on any chain, while giving users the best possible experience. Lava already offers access to Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Juno, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Aptos, Polygon and many more! 

Build on any chain, with Lava.

We're excited to participate in Lava Network's $15m seed alongside Jump Crypto, HashKey Group, Tribe Capital & Chorus One and others. 

Congratulations to the team as they approach mainnet addressing a critical yet often forgotten piece of crypto infrastructure: RPC endpoints.

Lava is a #blockchain data marketplace for #rollups and blockchains, linking data consumers and providers. Integrating the Lava SDK gives application developers instant access to thousands of high-quality RPC and indexing providers and scales with demand.

Every blockchain uses RPC endpoints and indexers. #RPC is the gateway to the blockchain, submitting signed transactions on behalf of users and fetching data like wallet balances. Indexers provide queriable real-time and historical data to decentralized applications and services.

Today's infrastructure needs to be more cohesive and complex. Developers must work with many providers, with pricing that doesn't scale with demand. As the number of rollups increases, complexity also rises, requiring developers to interact with even more providers.

Crypto's long-term vision is one of open, permisionless and resilient systems based on free market structures. Over-reliance on centrally controlled parts of critical infrastructure threatens censorship resistance and liveness. Lava aligns with this ethos.

Lava enables a decentralized data provider marketplace where users are matched with RPC providers and indexers peer-to-peer. Matching is instant, and the best providers are selected based on geography, uptime, and other QoS metrics.

#Modular rollups/chains can launch, scale and optimize the RPC layer of their stack by depositing tokens to Lava, attracting node providers, and paying them for their service. This creates a higher performance standard and greater cost efficiency. Developers use it for free.

Lava launched an incentivized RPC program rewarding node operators, shifting from the goodwill model to real incentives for providing quality RPCs. Chains like NEAR Protocol, Starknet Ecosystem, Evmos and Axelar Network are on board, with more expected soon.

Lava enables a modular network of node providers that dynamically adapt and scale to demand. In periods of heightened activity, providers can redirect resources and offer RPC and indexing services in specific ecosystems or geographies, resulting in a more efficient data market.

Lava already supports over 30 chains and targets mainnet launch in H1 of 2024. As a truly multi-chain product, Lava supports Cosmos Network: Internet of Blockchains and Ethereum as well as Solana Foundation Avalanche and Starknet Ecosystem.

We're excited to see how this one-of-a-kind product will revolutionize the blockchain data marketplace and offer new opportunities for developers.

Let the Lava flow 🌋

Whenever you hear "crypto" it is usually followed closely by words like "trustless" and "decentralized". The idea that various computers will work together in unison and independently of one another to store data, make it accessible, and order transactions in a correct sequence to secure a blockchain was one of the things that initially drew me to the nascent industry over a decade ago.

In the last year blockchain developers have taken this concept to a whole new and upgraded level. In the past, whenever computers completed these important tasks they usually had to rely on one blockchain. This meant they had to weigh pros and cons and determine which one most closely offered what they needed based on speed, security and scalability.

But in the past 12 months we have seen the concept of Modular Blockchains take off and be widely adopted across the industry. What this innovation allows is that developers no longer need to pick just one blockchain to build on. They can now mix and match, plug and play different services for every function needed for a computer to secure their blockchain or service. The result is that developers can compose a tech stack that fits perfectly to the use case they are building for.

One of these core functions is requesting information from blockchains, like the balance of a wallet or details of a transaction, or sending updates, to show a user the correct info. I met Yair Cleper and Gil B. a few years ago who were tackling this area, initially with the idea to build a network of service providers that allowed crypto apps to access this data without going through middlemen. The goal was to build something that removed single points of failure and rent seeking while maintaining the privacy of participants.

Fast forward almost 2 years and they have taken this concept to a new level. With the announcement of their $15MM fundraise they are launching Lava Network as the Modular Data Access layer for crypto developers. Beyond retrieving blockchain data, Lava now allows anyone to plug in flows of data (APIs and SDKs) across more than 30 blockchains in order for developers to quickly and permissionlessly build what Yair and his team call "whatever, whenever".

Huh? Things can get very technical very quickly but the best way to think of them is with an analogy about food. Typically you go to a restaurant because they offer a particular cuisine like pizza or Chinese. One place may sell a juicy xiao long bao while another offers a delicious Sichuan steamed fish. Your street corner deli can get you a cheesy pepperoni, while your shopping district offers a phenomenal Napoli-style funghi. You might be craving some za, your partner wants fish and you're both too lazy to drive. Lava lets you get any of these dishes, or request chefs that specialize in other cuisines — at the corner shop by your house.

Truly excited to have Compa Capital join as an investor and see what this amazing team continues to cook up.

Solutions like 🌋 Lava Network finally scale the ecosystem by being resilient (decentralised) and flexible (modular). Baselayer infrastructure at its best.

Congrats to Yair Cleper, Gil B., and the rest of the Lava Network team who have been diligently building for the last year and half. This announcement, which coincides with the launch of their Magma points program, marks one step closer to Mainnet. 

Lava Network is a modular data network that provides users with flexible access to blockchain data. Their approach lowers the barriers to entry for data access and is in line with blockchain's ethos of decentralization. We're a proud early supporter of the protocol and we can't wait to see what 2024 holds for the team. 

PS - Magma always comes before Lava, if you've got a crypto wallet consider checking out their points program (link below)

Introducing Lava Phase 2 - fast, multi-chain, modular APIs 🌋

Today we are announcing product improvements which make Lava even faster and more reliable for building dapps:

- Mainnet Roadmap & "Magma"
- Multi-chain first - make RPC calls to 30+ chains using a single credential with the Lava SDK 
- Fast archive access and, soon, indexing and subgraphs with modular "specs" 

Learn more: lavanet.xyz/roadmap 

Lava delivers an easy, fast multi-chain experience: 

- Make calls to multiple chains in one instance of our SDK
- 30+ chains already supported and growing
- peer-to-peer RPC and API relays to reduce latency
- node runners supporting smaller and new chains

Modular APIs:

The network can quickly add, update and serve in-demand APIs. It uses an open-source & modular primitive called "specs": JSON-files which define API method calls and the computational cost of each call. 

Can I use Lava right now for RPC?

Yes, we already serve developers on chains like @ethereum, @starknet, @solana and @EvmosOrg, @axelarnetwork. 

Lava is the modular data access layer for web3 🌋 

Don't miss the eruption.
