On February 15, Lava Network, a modular blockchain infrastructure developer, announced the completion of a $15 million seed round of financing, led by Jump Capital, Hashkey Capital and Tribe Capital, with participation from North Island Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Alliance DAO, Finality Capital Partners and others. Executives from blockchain projects such as Celestia, Cosmos, StarkWare and Filecoin also participated in this round of financing.
After Celestia and Dymension ignited the modular blockchain track, Lava Network, as a new modular data network, also attracted community attention. Although Celestia and Dymension focus on data availability, settlement, and consensus; Rollups also need an access layer, which is exactly the goal of Lava: allowing developers and users to send and retrieve data from any blockchain.
Lava Network is currently in the testnet and plans to launch the mainnet in the first half of this year. Before the mainnet goes online, Lava launched the "Magma" points reward program. Users can earn Magma points by switching the RPC connection to Lava. In the following, BlockBeats has compiled and translated the ways to participate in the points reward program based on the official documents.
How to earn points?
First, switch your wallet network to a network that supports Lava. It should be noted that currently Lava only provides points to wallet users who use its expansion infrastructure on Ethereum, NEAR, Evmos, Starknet, and Axelar. Lava prioritizes blockchains and Rollups that use the incentivized public RPC expansion infrastructure.
The specific steps are as follows:
1. Go to Lava’s points website: points.lavanet.xyz. You will need an invitation code: SKVPL
Then link your wallet, enter the official Discord and follow Twitter. If you don’t want to join or follow, you can also choose to skip this step (Skip for Now)
After completing the above steps, we will enter the following page. Here we choose the network we want to interact with, and the official also gave some invitation codes. You can promote it through your own channels, and the invitation code should also increase your points. In this article, the editor also puts his own invitation code for everyone, please take it if you need it:
Near (Main Website): https://near.lava.build/lava-referer-f97f996a-c3d e-424 a-afc 6-00685 b 7 ce 863/
Starknet (mainnet): https://rpc.starknet.lava.build/lava-referer-f97f996a-c3d e-424 a-afc 6-00685 b 7 ce 863/
ETH：https://eth1.lava.build/lava-referer-f97f996a-c3d e-424 a-afc 6-00685 b 7 ce 863/
AXELAR (主网):https://tm.axelar.lava.build/lava-referer-f97f996a-c3d e-424 a-afc 6-00685 b 7 ce 863/
Evmos (Little Fox): https://evmos.lava.build/lava-referer-f97f996a-c3d e-424 a-afc 6-00685 b 7 ce 863/
2. Then we open the wallet linked in the first step and replace the RPC URL in the wallet with the URL powered by Lava on NEAR, Starknet, Evmos, Axelar, and Ethereum
Your wallet will need to make an RPC call every time you open or use it (e.g. check your balance, make a transaction, interact with dapps). All you need to do is replace the RPC URL in your wallet with the one provided in your Lava Points account.
Here we take Metamask and Evmos as examples for specific operations:
1) Open your wallet and go to Settings → Network
2) Choose Evmos
3) Replace “New RPC URL” with the relevant RPC link we provided in the score dashboard: https://evmos.lava.build, click Save.
3. Earn points by using your wallet and dapps as you normally would, including anything from simply checking your wallet balance and making transactions
Tip: In order to earn more points, it is recommended to try to bind the chains you often interact with. For example, I may usually use Cosmos and Ethereum chains more often, so here I will replace these two networks with Lava's RPC URL.
4. After that, you can interact normally and check your points ranking at any time
5. Also, remember to share your referral code on social media to earn more points
Referrals, Rewards and Retroactive Points
recommend:
Users can earn points through referrals. You will receive 10% of the points earned by the users you refer, and this will not be deducted from their points.
For example:
If you recommend user A and user A earns 1,000 points per week, you will earn an additional 100 points per week, while user A's total points will not be affected.
Wallet Partners:
Anyone who uses Lava with one of Lava’s wallet partners will earn reward points. We will initially be working with Sender Wallet on NEAR, with more partners to come in the future.
Retroactive Points:
Lava is thanking everyone who contributed to its testnet before February 15th, and anyone using Lava’s chain will be retroactively measured.
The last Lava snapshot was taken on February 15th at 4:00 PM UTC. More snapshots may be taken in the future.
