We believe the future is modular. We believe the future is multi-chain.
But to get there - to unlock innovation across every rollup existing today or launching in the future - we must solve fragmentation.
With
@lavanetxyz
's raise, we are one step closer to our vision 🧵
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

The Tornado Cash events of last week exposed a long neglected problem at the core of web3. RPC node infra, middleware used to query and send transactions to the blockchain, is centralized - and web3 access is therefore censorable.
Great talk by

yesterday! So much passion and vision for the ecosystem. No doubt that with the right backend infra

After months of hard work, Lava just came out of stealth!
We are changing the relationship between a user and an RPC provider - from entirely trust-based - to holding providers accountable to provide accurate and fresh data.
Joing us! 🌋
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 🧵
Calling Bad Kid, Pudgy Penguins, TIA/DYM/ATOM stakers and modular builders:
This is not an airdrop - it is a unique, invite-only event.
Lava will be hosting a special gathering at ETHDenver to celebrate Magma and explore modular innovation.
The Lava protocol is strengthening its decentralization and will allow billions of users to interact with blockchains - permissionless, censorship-resistant and multi-chain.
Proud to have planted the seed and now watching the tree branch out on its own.
The floor is Lava 🌋

Lava Foundation has raised $11m to fund ecosystem growth and protocol development.
We're excited to move closer to mainnet and support more blockchains with critical RPC infrastructure.
Friends of Israel, we are under attack.
The attack on Israel is not only against its citizens but against humanity and its values. It is a massacre carried out by barbarians.
Close your eyes and think about your little kids, your parents, your best friends. Now imagine them

@lavanetxyz
Blockchains are networks that require read access through the use of a node.
Not your node, not your web3.

@paddycosgrave
@BessemerVP
@lhfang
I feel pity for you, trying to redirect the light of your own crimes and shocking comments that were aligned with terrorist agenda.
You justifies what you got.
Super proud to release the Lava whitepaper.
We've come a long way since our initial testnet launch start of 2023.
Some thoughts:
Not all RPC is centralized.
Not long time ago, Ethereum was basically the only "mainnet".
There was no modular, there was no "world of thousand
Just wrapped up re-reading Lava's upcoming whitepaper.
Features like constant availability, smart routing, conflict detection, Passable QoS, on-chain subscriptions & CU-based rewards, are only the tip of the iceberg of how the Lava Protocol will revolutionize Web3 access.
Privacy is a fundamental right.
Every wallet you send a transaction with, every dapp you use, and every NFT marketplace you trade on uses RPCs to interact with the blockchain.
As long as they are centralized, privacy cannot be guaranteed.
By far the BEST lineup yet at

This is the result of 2 years of research and a lot of iteration based on market learnings and developing breakthrough tech accordingly.
In the last Q reached first PMF, sooner than expected.
More thoughts coming soon

Modular world, meet Lava:
A modular network making it easy for blockchains to bootstrap and optimize infrastructure, starting with RPC.
Whitepaper now live.
🧵
The last two years have been wild for me, launching testnet a year ago and now, we're almost there.
last week, we published the whitepaper. Today, we're sharing the tokenomics.
couple thoughts:
Introducing LAVA, the native token of the Lava Network.
Ethereum, rollups, L1s, L2s, modular, integrated, sovereign, app-specific, rollchains - all will be supported on Lava 🌋

- 1 modular base layer across

- 1 subscription for Dapps to access any chain
Build whatever, wherever
Going to be hard to compete with the NEAR onboarding funnel
- projects that onboard millions of users already (top 3-4 out of 10 web3 apps are on NEAR)
- fully abstracted blockchains so users can use everything in web3
- infra and UX that just keep getting better
Always a pleasure seeing the legend in action!

Yeah this is some of the stuff I was talking about the other day and will chat with the team about.

Navigating 1000 rollups - fragmented infrastructure
As we move closer to mainnet, it’s clear that better RPC is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 10xing the dev experience building on blockchains. Devs today, across hundreds of rollups and scaling solutions, need data
Decentralizing the RPC layer of web3 is critical for censorship-resistant, reliability and privacy.

Community is everything!
Many ways to get involved with Lava, whether you’re technical or non-technical:
- Run an RPC node
- Use Lava in your wallet (Magma points)
- Add specs so Lava can support more chains and APIs

56% of the LAVA token supply will be used to engage the Lava ecosystem.
- 25% for future initiatives and rewarding infrastructure providers and validators
- 31% for ecosystem and R&D
- DAO-governed Community Pool which grows with subscriptions and more Incentivized Pools

With each additional relay we're able to learn & improve Lava towards Mainnet 🚀
Web3 promises a p2p internet, without a single point of authority. Any centralized part of the stack defeats the entire point.
@lavanetxyz
solves this. We make it easy for developers to build apps, where anyone can exchange value permissionless, privately and reliably.

Today is a big day for Lava - we release Lava Phase 2 and our Mainnet roadmap ahead of Q1.
Devs can now get much faster and more reliable multi-chain RPC through our SDK and gateway.

Between Eigenlayer’s cap increase and inscription taking over several chains this weekend, it’s still obvious that scalability at the RPC and infra level is nowhere near where it should be.
We have enough providers - it’s trivial to run a node - but the issue is fragmentation
Decentralization is the means to an internet which is more secure, private and open.
This is what Lava is helping developers build.
