September Ecosystem Call recap. Here’s what moved. 🌋 EVM migration vote passed with strong community turnout. Target completion: end of January. Mid-November is the milestone to finalize economic parameters and the target EVM chain. 1/3

Lava is now a member of the Tokenized Asset Coalition. 🌋 Alongside OpenZeppelin, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, Euler, and others working toward a standard for making tokenized securities composable in DeFi. Tokenization stops being a category when the infrastructure underneath it becomes standard.

The next step in Lava’s EVM migration: choosing the target chain. 🌋 EVM is confirmed. Which network hosts the Lava protocol is still being researched, and that decision will go to a community vote before anything is finalized. The process starts soon. Step by step until full deployment.

Proposal #69 is open. 🌋 The community discussed it. The forum closed. The X Spaces walked through it. Now it's time to vote. Closes Friday, October 2 at 12:00 UTC. Cast your vote: lavapulse.xyz/governance/69

ALFA Partners is now running on Lava RPC. 🌋 An AI-powered multi-asset trading house combining proprietary quantitative models with an experienced global trading desk, operating across digital assets, equities, commodities, FX, and derivatives. Established in 2018, $2B+ in cumulative trading volume. 24/7 client service across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo. They additionally offer specialized market-making and liquidity services. Welcome, @alfa_api.

Bringing grid infrastructure on-chain takes more than smart contracts 🌋 It requires multi-chain RPC reliability that doesn't drop during peak trading or network congestion.

August 2026 Ecosystem Call. Provider fees hit an all-time high in August. Foundation top-ups dropped to zero and are planned to stay there. Every dollar paid to node Providers now comes directly from active Gateway subscribers. Not token inflation. Not subsidies. Real usage. 🌋 🧵 - 1/5

More usage means more RPC demand. More demand means more traffic routed through Lava, distributed across independent Providers, not concentrated in a single endpoint that fails under pressure. That's the structural difference. 🌋

Rewards per CU jumped by 2130% this week 🌋 Last week: ~$0.036 per 1M CU This week: ~$0.795 per 1M CU Total Provider rewards held steady. What changed is the traffic: users moved from public endpoints to the newly launched Lava Gateway, where every Compute Unit now serves paid demand.

From sign-up to a live RPC endpoint in under a minute. 🌋 Ethereum. Solana. Arbitrum. Base. Polygon. Optimism. BNB. Hyperliquid. Free tier. No credit card. No sales call. Start here: gateway.lavanet.xyz

Tomorrow. 1:00 PM UTC. Lava X Spaces: Cosmos Migration and EVM. The blog posts laid out the case. Tomorrow is where the community responds live. Set a reminder: nitter.gq/i/spaces/1jGXgBweOeyKZ

In our August Ecosystem Call, we cover: • Gateway V2 performance & 75% latency reduction • Provider fee mechanics and 99% organic revenue coverage • Partner spotlight with SHIFT (RWA tokenization) • The upcoming governance vote on chain architecture 🌋

More usage. Stronger network. 🌋 Not the default provider. Not the only one. The best one. Every request. Real-time.

X Spaces is confirmed for this Thursday. 🌋 Cosmos migration and EVM: what it means for Lava, the token, and what the community decides next. Thursday. 1:00 PM UTC. Mark it! nitter.gq/i/spaces/1jGXgBweOeyKZ

All endpoints moved to Lava Gateway. Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, NEAR and more now run through our new Gateway, powered by Lava's decentralized provider network. ▫️ One gateway, every chain ▫️ Redundant providers, every request ▫️ No single point of failure Migrate your RPC: gateway.lavanet.xyz

Free RPC that actually works. 🌋 750K compute units. 25 RPS. No credit card. No expiry. When you're ready to scale: $29/mo gets you 50M CUs. $499/mo gets you 2B. One gateway. Every major chain. Plans that activate the second you choose them: gateway.lavanet.xyz

July 2026 Ecosystem Call Summary. 🌋 • Gateway V2 shipped, full self-serve onboarding, Stripe checkout, proceeds routing directly into Provider reward pools. • Latency down to 28ms on Cosmos Hub and 69ms on Arbitrum, expanding to more EVM chains next. • On governance: Lava opened a community forum discussion on long-term Cosmos SDK risks. 9 project shutdowns. 12 migrations. Leap Wallet sunset. The community decides what comes next.

Megawatt joined the Lava Tokenization Sandbox. "The Lava sandbox is helping accelerate projects that connect blockchain with real-world infrastructure. We're excited to be building the future of battery energy storage alongside the ecosystem." - Megawatt Team If you're building infrastructure that connects DeFi capital with physical, real-world assets, this is what production-grade RPC support for that model looks like.

A.D. Labs operates two products built on reliable multi-chain infrastructure: @GeroWallet, a consumer wallet on Chrome and iOS, and @NexusByGero, a commercial blockchain data and transaction API with multi-chain reads, transaction building, real-time streaming, and a hosted MCP server that makes on-chain data readable by AI agents. Operating production infrastructure across Midnight, Cardano, and other chains while serving both human users and AI agents requires RPC that performs consistently across every chain. That's why @ADLabsDev runs on Lava. "We operate blockchain infrastructure for a living, so we know exactly how hard reliable multi-chain access is. Lava solved it the right way: decentralized, verifiable, and boring in the best sense of the word. When the asset on the rails is a real building, the data layer IS the trust layer. That's why we chose Lava." - Adam, Co-Founder and CEO, A.D. Labs
