Web3 services are working overtime to give their users access to the hottest blockchains and rollups. With the ever expanding space of blockchain, maintaining high uptime and performance across hundreds of chains is becoming more and more challenging.

Fireblocks, a prominent digital asset platform, supports financial institutions, exchanges, fintechs, and startups with a diverse range of products.

This case study highlights how Fireblocks integrated Lava’s Enterprise Infra Management System (EIMS) to deliver consistent, high-performance blockchain access for milions of users across hundreds of networks.

Fireblocks depends on multiple RPC providers to access on-chain data, but managing these providers manually presents significant challenges. Frequent provider failures disrupt operations, causing major issues for both the Fireblocks team and their users.

Faced with these challenges, Fireblocks considered building an in-house load balancer and RPC provider aggregation system. Preliminary estimates indicated that this would require a full-time commitment from a team of 3 engineers over 6 months, with a projected development cost of $150,000—excluding the substantial opportunity costs involved.

After engaging with the MagmaDevs team and thoroughly reviewing the capabilities of EIMS, it became evident that integrating Lava offered a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective solution to get the job done in the best way.

For the past three years, Lava and its Infra Management System have been at the core of Web3's data access layer. With 10 million unique weekly users and 95 billion RPC requests served, Lava ensures reliable performance across any API on any chain.

In collaboration with MagmaDevs, Fireblocks implemented Lava’s EIMS in a single session.

Lava EIMS offers advanced performance-based load balancing, with automatic retries and failover, fast transactions, double caching, and data consistency.

By adopting Lava's Enterprise solution, Fireblocks has managed to reduce operational costs and improve customer satisfaction. Lava's solution has set Fireblocks on a strong trajectory for growth within the competitive Web3 ecosystem.
