Day 0 for Lava.

2.3m+ monthly users. 40+ blockchains. 80bn+ RPC requests.

You already use Lava without knowing. Now you can contribute.

The Network Revenue Switch turns on 👇 Chains such as @NEARProtocol, @Starknet and @cosmoshub are paying the network a total of $1m+ to provide high-performance infrastructure --> RPC.

What is RPC? Don't worry, simply put:

Our service is essential for all onchain activity such as:

✅ transactions
✅ minting
✅ checking your wallet balance
✅ swapping
✅ staking
✅ deploying smart contracts

Introducing Lava Public Mainnet.

This is a radical new approach to launching a blockchain in the modular era.

- Market-derived FDV
- Focused airdrop to 70k users
- Dex-first on Uniswap v3, Arbitrum (LIVE NOW)

Eruption.

lavanet.xyz/blog/eruption
Protocols used to launch at fair prices for early community - Ethereum and Bitcoin paved the way.

Today, tokenomics and mainnet launches are usually rigged against the community.

We're taking a new approach to the LAVA token launch.

Step 1: The Vesuvius Airdrop is live.

Join the Lava experiment:

RPC and Lava enable connection.

Connecting you to every blockchain > project > community.

Vesuvius Airdrop aligns with our vision to reach, unite and empower all communities in crypto.

Excited to share Lava Protocol's $15 million seed raise to build a modular data access layer for Ethereum & web3.

We're also introducing our next phase to Mainnet: Magma.

Wallet users can now earn points on @ethereum, @NEARProtocol, @Starknet, @EvmosOrg and @axelarnetwork. Anyone can earn points by changing their wallet’s blockchain connection to Lava and using your wallet as normal.

Using our partner wallets @leap_cosmos and @senderwallet will receive also earn users bonus points.

1/ Introducing Lava Phase 2:

- 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"

2/ We're aiming for Mainnet in Q1 🌋

Magma always comes before Lava.

Access to web3 is broken 💔

While multi-chain apps are becoming the standard, connecting them to blockchain data isn't getting any easier 🧵 There is a lack of consistency when it comes to communicating with blockchains.

Each ecosystem has its own set of tools and methods, whether it be self hosted nodes vs. centralized RPC vs. public endpoints, or differences in formats like REST vs. JSON-RPC vs gRPC.

Our tesntet is live! Web3 developers can now use our Gateway and Server Kit to access multi-chain RPC.

Now let's get you an RPC endpoint 🌋 What's so great about our gateway?

TIME TO ERUPTION - 0 HOURS 🌋

Our testnet is live! ⚡️

Calling Lava Voyagers to help us build the open standard for blockchain RPC & APIs. Today, we're launching our testnet by giving developers on @cosmos @Starknet @JunoNetwork @osmosiszone @ethereum and others access to the Lava Network.

We welcome any suggestions for new chains or APIs in our dedicated Discord channel.

Last week, we laid out our vision for decentralized access to Web3 🌋

On the Lava Network, any application can query accurate data in private, while nodes earn rewards for providing fast, scalable and high-uptime service.

A refresher🧵 2/ We spoke to many teams who used either

- rate-limited public endpoints
- multiple node providers to try and guarantee data accuracy and 100% uptime

Neither solution is optimal, nor decentralized.

1/ Lava is building a decentralized infrastructure layer for blockchain RPC. We believe in scalable, private and uncensored access to Web3.

Already serving the @cosmos and @CeloOrg ecosystems, and onboarding new chains everyday, here’s how Lava is shifting the paradigm 🧵 2/ In recent months, hacks and censorship from faulty and centralized infrastructure have become the norm.

As @moxie pointed out, celebrations of a decentralized web are still theater. This is especially true at the RPC node level.
