Lava Blockchain relies on a decentralized network of global users to securely verify, process, and complete network transactions. By creating an account and running our lightweight Chrome Extension or Desktop App in the background, you share your unused internet bandwidth to help route these transactions efficiently. In return for your contribution, our system rewards you with $LAVA tokens directly proportional to your node's active uptime. 🔥 Pro Tip: Running the Desktop App yields up to 5x higher rewards than the Extension!
