// 01 — About Lava Network
What is Lava Network?
Lava Network (LAVA) is a decentralised RPC infrastructure protocol — a chain that coordinates RPC providers and consumers, with LAVA stake securing both consensus and the data quality of the RPC service. Mainnet launched in late 2024.
APR is currently high (53-54%) reflecting the growth-phase tokenomics. The chain is purpose-built for the use case 01node already operates in (RPC infrastructure), making it a natural fit operationally.
// 02 — Why stake with 01node

// 05 — Frequently asked
Lava Network staking FAQ.
What is Lava Network and why does it pay so much APR?expand_more
Lava is a decentralised RPC marketplace — a chain coordinating providers and consumers of blockchain RPC. The high APR reflects growth-phase tokenomics designed to bootstrap validator security and provider participation.
What's the unbonding period for LAVA?expand_more
21 days, standard Cosmos SDK.
What's 01node's commission?expand_more
5% — verify in your wallet.
Is Lava the same as the Lava liquidity protocol on Ethereum?expand_more
No — Lava Network is a Cosmos-SDK chain for decentralised RPC. Different project from any Ethereum-side Lava products.
Can I provide RPC services to Lava and earn rewards?expand_more
Yes — providers stake LAVA to participate. We run our own RPC infrastructure for the chains we validate; Lava-as-a-provider is on our evaluation roadmap.
Why does 01node validate Lava specifically?expand_more
RPC infrastructure is our day-job domain. Operating the validator alongside our RPC services creates natural alignment.
