Lava is the first modular data access network for accessing blockchains. It introduces “specs”: a primitive that lets contributors permissionlessly add support for new chains and data services to the base protocol. RPC is the first service supported by the network.

Developers plug Lava into their projects to get date and node operators on the network are incentivized to respond quickly, accurately and reliable.

Lava creates a fast, scalable and unified network for accessing the multi-chain world.
