Introduction

Lava is the first modular data network that scales RPC & APIs for rollups. Add any chain's RPC module to Lava - the network of node operators will optimize, scale and decentralize the traffic.

While contributing to a more performant and chain-agnostic infrastructure layer for web3, Incentivized Public RPC also gives anyone an opportunity to monetize their nodes.

May in numbers 🧮

This month, a small number of providers were participating with a higher stake than the allowed limit, however they did not overperform other providers. As a penalty, 5% were deducted from their CU calculation.

In addition, Lava Foundation and Evmos agreed to reward the top 20 Evmos providers with a base payment of 40% of the monthly rewards pool, in order to maintain balanced payment distribution, and to reward high performing providers.
