We’re excited to announce that a new chain was added to Lava — RPC for Evmos Mainnet & Testnet are now available for our testnet users!

Lava enables Evmos builders to focus on building web3 apps with the best user experience. Fast, reliable, accurate — the decentralized Lava way.

💫 About Evmos

Evmos is the blockchain network, that lets you use a new generation of applications, built by developers across the world. Using and building on the network is permissionless so it doesn’t require any authorization.

Evmos believes that constraining users to interacting only with applications forces them to reconnect to new networks and transfer currencies between different blockchains, leading to bad UX. Instead, users should be able to seamlessly use applications, regardless of where they are built.

That’s why Evmos enables developers to create “cross-chain” applications, that are built once and are accessible from across multiple chains. As a result, users can seamlessly interact with applications on Evmos, without having to know what underlying blockchain they are built on 🔥

🚀 How is Lava supporting Evmos?

Lava is empowering Evmos developers with decentralized access to Evmos Mainnet & Testnet APIs, without having to spend time and money on their own infrastructure, or to rely on public endpoints.

Lava’s provides Evmos endpoints that support REST, URI, Tendermint, JSON and Websocket Subscriptions!

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

Very soon we’ll be releasing our SDK, which 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!

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

⚡ Decentralization as the means for amazing service

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:

Maximum Quality of Service — Clients score Providers across latency, freshness and availability in a peer to peer system which determines Provider rewards. Providers are rewarded according to their QoS per session, meaning your users get the best experience possible

Data Integrity — Clients randomly, without charge, sample API endpoints to detect and probabilistically minimize response conflicts. Consensus is created around the data on-chain, with plans for light clients in the future to further remove trust assumptions

Scalable network redundancy — Applications interact with a list of Providers, which maximizes uptime and service coverage. Chains are also able to quickly bootstrap their RPC nodes by creating a new specification on Lava Network for Providers to onboard and offer service

Any chain, any API — With Lava as your provider, you can change your configuration to access any chain and any API currently served by the network. The DAO and contributors can quickly implement new network support using the open-source code, so Developers don’t need to spend time searching for new providers which support their needs

🌋 About Lava

Lava Network is a decentralized network of top-tier API providers that developers can subscribe to for access to any blockchain. Providers are rewarded for their quality of service, meaning your app and users get maximum speed, data integrity and uptime. Pairings are randomized, meaning anyone can query or send transactions on-chain in privacy.

We help developers build web3-native apps on any chain, while giving users the best possible experience.
