What is Lava

Lava is a protocol managing AI agent & dapp traffic for every blockchain.

When users interact with dapps, they send transactions and data to blockchains. LAVA holders stake LAVA to direct RPC traffic to the fastest, most reliable data providers available: lavanet.xyz/stakers.

Today, the protocol supports 40+ chains, for 1m+ daily users and thousands of dapps: stats.lavanet.xyz. Lava has generated $3.5m+ in revenue since August 2024, with chains and dapps like NEAR, Starknet, and Axelar already paying LAVA stakers and data providers $1m+: pools.lavanet.xyz

Blockchains are digital cities, with their own economy. Lava enables that economy to flow freely.

If you own Lava, you own the roads.

Some helpful analogies:

Eigenlayer and Lava both attract and coordinate node operators to provide different types of infrastructure for blockchain networks
