Lava is evolving. As our network scales to meet real-world demand, we’re taking the next step to align rewards and infrastructure with verified network traffic. This means focusing on the chains that actively contribute to Lava’s ecosystem and ensuring that contributor rewards are distributed based on actual usage.
In this post, we break down the what, why, and how of Lava’s upcoming chain migration and what it means for Providers, Partners, and the wider community.
Lava’s RPC infrastructure has grown rapidly over the past year, supporting dozens of chains and billions of transactions. However, to maintain network integrity and streamline resource allocation, we’re consolidating our focus to chains with proven traffic and active participation.
The objective is simple:
For Providers, the migration is an opportunity to align node operations with incentivized mainnet chains. By doing so, Providers can participate in Lava Foundation’s incentive pools and maximize their rewards.
Key Points for Providers:
Lava Testnet will continue to operate as the dedicated testing environment and will not be incentivized. It will support a carefully curated list of chains essential for supporting strong and robust testing environment going forward.
Lava Mainnet will serve as the sole production environment with incentives available for supported chains.
