Institutional infrastructure requires predictable performance. That’s why Fireblocks relies on Smart Router, Lava Network-powered RPC infrastructure across multiple chains. Custody, settlement, and automation all depend on reliable data access.

We just shipped an Intel Agent on Tempo Mainnet. It has its own wallet. It spends its own funds. It pays for data, research, and AI analysis via MPP. Then it turns that into a live BUY / SELL / HOLD trading decision stream. A real autonomous agent consuming paid services

$80T+ traded on centralized exchanges in 2025. At that scale, speed isn’t enough. Systems must stay correct and always available when markets spike. That’s why tier-1 exchanges like Kraken are integrating Smart Router to strengthen reliability and preserve data continuity. 🌋

1/ Weekly Starknet (Privacy arc) 🥷 highlights ⚡ 🟣 "NVIDIA of crypto" > compute-heavy apps at low cost 🟣 STRK20 > private balances + DeFi composability 🟣 #2 rollup by TVL/TVS ratio 🟣 Starkzap adoption accelerating 🟣 Builders shipping: BTC vaults, travel rewards, gaming Details 👇

Capital efficiency is moving to the protocol layer. Instead of passive delegation, stake flows to infrastructure with proven reliability. Better uptime = more capital. This changes how node operators compete.

17 new chains. 9 ecosystems. Phase 1 just went live with 11 chains. 👏👏👏 More chains = more RPC requests. More requests = more rewards for providers delivering high-quality service. Driven by institutional demand for reliable RPC. 🌋

AI agents are already trading onchain and executing real-world payments. They don’t tolerate bad data. One bad RPC response → wrong decision → real loss. That’s why reliable data access is a critical infrastructure. 🌋

One RPC provider is easy. Until it goes down and your app stops working. Multi-provider routing trades simplicity for resilience: • No single point of failure • Traffic routes to the best performers That’s how production systems should be built 👀

Tron is now live on Lava Network 🎉 RPC access for TRON DAO mainnet + testnet is supported. Why it matters 👇

Lava Network has relayed 185B+ requests since inception. Last 30 days alone: • 966M+ relays on NEAR • 714M+ on Base • 479M+ on Arbitrum • 450M+ on Polygon All served by independent providers in production. 😎🌋

A single provider isn’t infrastructure. It’s a single point of failure. Custody workflows don’t tolerate inconsistency. One bad response and settlement breaks. That’s why more institutions are shifting to multi-provider routing—because failure is expected.

$27B+ in tokenized assets live. Institutions are already here. Yet 95% of tokenization projects will fail. Why? They're building on the wrong layer of the stack. Trillions Ep. 3—Presented by ZIGChain

1/ Avalanche is now live on Lava 🔺🌋 RPC access for Avalanche🔺 mainnet + testnet is supported. Why this matters 🧵

Fireblocks. Kraken. Custody. Trading. Different use cases. Same requirement: Predictable performance under load. That’s the new baseline for onchain infrastructure. 🌋

11 new chains just went live on Lava. 6 more in April. Every new chain needs an access layer from day one. The onchain app economy is already generating $6B+ in quarterly revenue — all of it depends on reliable RPC. The demand Lava serves is structural, not cyclical.

1/ Sonic is now live on Lava 🌋 RPC access for Sonic mainnet + testnet is supported. Why this matters 🧵👇

Lava Network has relayed 186B+ requests since inception. Over the last 30 days: • 385M+ on Starknet • 313M+ on Ethereum • 65M+ on Solana • 56M+ on Hyperliquid Distributed across independent providers serving production traffic. Built for reliability at scale. 🌋

Institutional demand doesn’t just increase usage. It reshapes infrastructure. More traffic → High quality providers → Better performance 🔄 That’s how production systems evolve.

Institutional adoption doesn't start with tokens. It starts with infrastructure that doesn't fail under load. That’s why Kraken just integrated Smart Router, developed by Magma Devs and built on top of Lava Network's protocol 🌋
