Join CardanoScale as a partner

CardanoScale is a Catalyst proposal for an RPC gateway on Cardano. The gateway aggregates multiple Cardano node operators behind a single endpoint, routing traffic based on measured quality (uptime, latency, correctness) with automatic failover.

Subscribers get reliable RPC access without managing their own infrastructure. Providers earn rewards based on their service quality. The majority of the budget flows directly back to node operators as performance-based payments.

Catalyst is Cardano's community funding program where ADA holders vote on which projects get funded.

Platform Credibility & Scale

Verified metrics demonstrating Lava Network's proven track record:

• 160+ Billion relays processed (all-time)
• 1 Million+ weekly active users
• 32+ blockchains supported
• $3.5M+ protocol revenue since August 2024 mainnet
• 5x year-over-year growth in network usage (2025) </aside>

Get rewards for supporting Cardano

<aside> 💰 CardanoScale Program Rewards 3,392 ADA (~$1,187 USD) average rewards per SPO from Catalyst grant rewards pool

</aside>

<aside>

Possible Rewards Impact by Pool Tier:

• Medium pools (1-10M ADA): +28.3% rewards boost
• Large pools (10-50M ADA): +5.2% income boost
• Whale pools (50M+ ADA): +2.1% income boost

Note: This is the CardanoScale program bonus from Catalyst grant. Future RPC revenue potential exists beyond the grant period.

QoS-Based Rewards Model

<aside> ⭐ Key Differentiator: Unlike stake-based rewards where large pools dominate, QoS-based rewards mean operators who provide reliable service earn more.

</aside>

<aside>

"A small pool with excellent uptime and low latency can earn disproportionately well—regardless of their delegation size."

QoS Score Factors

• Latency (~25%) - Response time vs. benchmark
• Availability (~30%) - Success rate tracking
• Sync Freshness (~25%) - Block lag measurement
• Correctness (~20%) - Response accuracy </aside>

Infrastructure Advantage

<aside> ⚡ Key Insight: SPOs already have 95%+ of required infrastructure.

</aside>

• Leverage existing infrastructure - already running Cardano nodes with proven uptime
• No upfront costs - use existing hardware and bandwidth
• 93-100% cost reduction compared to AWS/GCP setup
• Minimum stake only 100 LAVA (~$14-20)
• Join multichain decentralized infrastructure network - be part of Lava Network ecosystem
• Diversify income - reduce dependency on staking rewards alone
• No new hardware required - leverage existing Cardano node
  • What SPOs Need to Add (Low Barrier)

Do you have a Cardano dApp?

<aside>

<aside> 🛡️ Decentralized RPC No single point of failure - true decentralization for your dApp infrastructure

</aside>

• SPO-grade reliability - pools already maintain 99%+ uptime for block production
• Competitive pricing - better value vs Blockfrost/Maestro
• Support Cardano decentralization - align infrastructure with blockchain values
• Direct relationship with providers - know who runs your infrastructure </aside>
