Lava NetworkLAVA

Lava is a modular data access layer. It introduces the concept of "specs": a modular primitive that allows contributors to add support for new chains and data services to the underlying protocol without permission. Data consumers send requests to Lava's network of data providers (node operators), which then join Lava to meet the data demands. Lava creates a dynamic and scalable market around any blockchain data service. The protocol also establishes cryptographic economic guarantees regarding quality of service, speed, uptime, and data accuracy. By utilizing a modular architecture and a peer-to-peer network of node operators, Lava has created a unified platform for accessing a multi-chain world.
