Lava is a decentralized blockchain in active development. Before mainnet, we're running a public testnet where community validators help us monitor uptime, stress-test consensus, and surface bugs. Create a validator account to track your participation on the live dashboard below — all figures are pulled directly from our Firestore ledger, nothing here is simulated.
Lava is being built from the ground up around one target: transaction finality in under 0.5 seconds — fast enough that sending value feels as instant as sending a message. Every validator running on this testnet is helping us stress-test consensus and networking under real conditions, so that by mainnet, speed isn't a compromise — it's the default.
Sign up with an email and password. Your password is handled entirely by Firebase Authentication — Lava never stores or sees the raw value.
Your uptime is measured by your own validator app or extension while it's actually running — not by keeping a browser tab open. Real activity, real numbers.
Rank, total network uptime, and online-validator counts are all computed live from Firestore queries — no placeholder numbers, ever.
Community validators help stress-test the network, report bugs, and build up verifiable uptime history. You're here now.
A published, verifiable validator client that reports real activity directly — no browser tab required to stay counted.
Testnet participation and uptime history feed into how early mainnet rewards are considered for active validators.
By creating a validator account, you agree to use your account honestly. Uptime is measured from your validator app/extension's real activity — attempting to spoof or artificially inflate uptime is prohibited and may result in account suspension.
This is a testnet. Tokens, rankings, and rewards referenced here have no guaranteed monetary value and are subject to change before or at mainnet launch.
We collect your email address (via Firebase Authentication) and your validator uptime, needed to compute leaderboard rank. Your password is never stored by Lava — it is managed entirely by Firebase Authentication using industry-standard hashing.
We do not access your files, browsing history, or device data. Leaderboard entries display a partially masked email; your full email is never shown to other validators.
