Question 1

What is Lava Network (LAVA)?

Accepted Answer

Lava Network is a decentralised, modular blockchain platform designed to improve access to blockchain data and infrastructure. Built using the Cosmos SDK, it employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism and integrates Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) for cross-chain compatibility. Lava Network acts as an access layer for blockchains, supporting decentralised and scalable infrastructure for data providers, developers, and users.

The network enables reliable Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services by coordinating providers, consumers, and sponsors. It acts as a multi-sided marketplace for blockchain data services, offering decentralised access to APIs, incentivised public RPC pools, and a governance framework for adding new blockchains or APIs.
