Lava is the blockchain that lets users and developers connect to every blockchain.

RPC providers stake to join Lava, serving RPC and APIs for any chain and rewarded in LAVA and tokens from other ecosystems.

LAVA restakers can restake their Validator delegations to RPC providers, letting them contribute to network performance by boosting the top providers.

It’s simple; RPC providers stake LAVA to handle data and transactions on any blockchain.

• Chains create an incentive pool on Lava, with any token e.g. NEAR token.
  ‍
• RPC providers register on Lava blockchain and stake LAVA.
  ‍
