About Aptos

Aptos Labs, co-founded by Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching, is dedicated to creating better network tooling and seamless usability to bring the benefits of decentralization to the masses.

Having now raised over $400M, Aptos Labs is backed by top-flight investors, including a16z, Jump Crypto, Binance Labs, Dragonfly, PayPal Ventures and Coinbase Ventures.

How is Lava supporting Aptos?

Lava is empowering Aptos developers with decentralized access to Aptos Mainnet APIs, without having to host their own infrastructure, rely on public endpoints or centralized providers.

Calling developers! Start using Lava RPC, join our developer community and help us build Lava 🌋

Developers can also use our Server Kit, to build their own private gateway, to gain p2p access to providers on Lava Network.

In addition to the Gateway and Server Kit, our most exciting product is in late stages of development! The Lava SDK — is a TypeScript implementation of Lava’s Protocol, that empowers developers with plug & play integration of multi-chain RPC, by adding a simple js library to their code!

Decentralization = Maximum Performance

Many assume that decentralization = lower performance, due to the coordination efforts associated with reaching consensus. However, in the context of blockchain APIs, decentralization is actually the best way to achieve maximum performance, reliability and accuracy.

Apps that are using Lava gain access to a network of top-tier RPC providers, that are incentivized to give the best service all around.

Lava’s decentralized design gives it many advantages over centralized RPC providers:

• Decentralized redundancy for high uptime - By being connected to multiple leading RPC providers, apps benefit from 99.99% uptime. The protocol also rewards providers according to their latency, freshness, and availability.
• Open-Source - Lava is open-source and transparent, shortening the procurement process for apps looking to integrate. Anyone can also contribute to the protocol and the appchain, so developers can verify that the network is secure and reliable.
• Private relays -  Relay requests are routed per epoch to a random and constantly shuffled list of providers, so any user RPC queries going through the network cannot be profiled.
• Maximum Scalability - Lava incentivizes network redundancy and runs on a highly scalable appchain, so your app can handle high periods of traffic.
• Consensus-Based Data Integrity - Data accuracy, consistency and freshness are preserved by a consensus mechanism which detects and resolves conflicts. Poor service or attempts to manipulate data are caught and disincentivized, with providers staking and signing responses so that they can held accountable.
• Any Chain, Any API - Change your configuration to access any chain and any API served by the network.
