Learn About Lava Network
Lava App Turns Any Developer Into an RPC Provider in Minutes
Lava Network is a decentralized RPC routing protocol built on Cosmos SDK that pays independent providers in LAVA for serving blockchain data requests. The network added 17 new chain integrations in March 2026, bringing total supported chains past 40. Lifetime relays are approaching 186 billion. Smart Router, the orchestration layer built on Lava's open-source protocol, is now deployed at Kraken (February 2026) and Fireblocks (June 2025), giving the protocol a base layer of enterprise demand. Provider setup is a three-step CLI process: install the lavad binary, configure the provider yaml, register on-chain with a stake transaction. Current LAVA price is around $0.0245 with $6.49 million market cap and $482,000 daily trading volume. The token has a fixed 1 billion supply, 264.5 million circulating, and 80% of fees and rewards are burned. The thesis: provider growth is a leading indicator for LAVA's market price.
Katerina KulikovskaApr 29, 2026Why AIOZ Network Keeps Outperforming While Other DePINs Bleed
DePIN overall has declined 40% of its total market cap Q4 2025 to Q1 2026. Filecoin is trading at a fraction of its 2021 all-time highs. Theta has plateaued in node growth. Livepeer's demand for transcoding services has stagnated. But one project has been hard to miss in a sea of moving targets: AIOZ Network has continued to hit product milestones, crossed over 30,000 nodes from more than 100 countries, and had Kova Network, NakamotoGames, and other projects integrate with its network.
Katerina KulikovskaApr 7, 2026Three Scenarios for Axelar as Cross-Chain Demand Explodes
Daily cross-chain transfer volume on Axelar came to $4.5 million in 24 hours on February 9, 2026. This was the largest amount for a 24-hour period yet in 2026. Volumes are accelerating. Will the curve sharpen? Flatten out? Or will it be broken entirely? Three scenarios, all based on different assumptions, each with a very different price outcome for the AXL token.
