Setting the standard for institutional grade RPC with Fireblocks
As Fireblocks expands its institutional blockchain services across over 100 networks, it requires robust RPC management to ensure optimal reliability, performance, and visibility for users.
Challenge - RPC issues directly affect Fireblocks' business
- Fireblocks is one of the largest RPC consumers in the crypto industry, connecting their users to over 100+ blockchain networks and constantly growing.
- Thousands of institutions manage funds on the platform and expect real-time data, with zero errors or downtime. Even minor delays, downtime, or data inaccuracies can significantly reduce transaction volumes, revenue, and customer trust, leading to potential multimillion-dollar losses annually.
- To meet these high standards, Fireblocks uses a mix of in-house and multiple 3rd-party RPCs, which introduces complexity and requires hands-on management.
- Building an in-house solution would require a full-time team for 6-12 months.
Solution - The Lava Smart Router
The Smart Router integrates with any RPC provider (Lava, Alchemy, self-hosted, etc.) to maximize reliability and speed. It routes traffic to the best nodes based on performance, with built-in failover and error recovery, dual caching and simultaneous transaction propagation.
It allows Fireblocks to manage their blockchain infrastructure in one place, improving stability, performance, and significantly reducing maintenance overhead.
- Plug in all RPC's
The Infra Manager supports any number of chains and 3rd party providers, routing requests to the fastest nodes available. - Automatic failover and error recovery
Ensures continuous availability by automatically rerouting in case of provider errors or downtime. - Faster transactions & queries
Transactions propagate simultaneously across multiple providers with built-in caching, ensuring higher success rates and optimal transaction speed. - Visibility and observability
The Smart Router includes comprehensive monitoring and metrics systems that help Fireblocks stay on top of its infrastructure health with real time alerts and deep insights.Enhanced visibility prevent and resolve costly , saving thousands of engineering hours annually.
Why Lava?
High ROI through enhanced reliability and visibility
By leveraging the Smart Router, Fireblocks mitigates errors, downtime and data inaccuracies for their clients, driving greater trust and long-term engagement.
Time to production
Implementing the Smart Router in Fireblocks' environment required only a single session, drastically reducing overhead and enabling rapid growth.
Better developer experience
Fireblocks developers no longer spend time manually resolving RPC issues. This enables the team to focus on strategic initiatives and advanced features, boosting customer satisfaction and potentially saving millions annually.
