Lava RPC airdrop guide: why decentralized RPC matters and how to set it up
Thread684 words
Explains why centralized RPC providers are a bottleneck for a world of thousands of rollups, then gives a step-by-step guide to earning Lava Magma points by switching the wallet RPC. Includes his own referral links.
Key claims
Farming requires no capital at risk, only changing the Ethereum RPC URL
Lava raised a $15M seed
Missed TIA? ALT? DYM?
Another modular giant is about to launch after a $15M seed raise and a testnet that blew minds.
Could be a billion $$$ project and the time window to get the airdrop (capital-free!) is closing.
Don't miss out anon, this one is easy.
Step-by-step guide 🧵 t.co/sAaMhWNelZ
1/ What is this airdrop about? 🤔🪂
Modular execution layers will redefine Web3 & foster innovation across all verticals, enabling more performant apps and novel use cases.
However, to actually make this happen, we need to ensure on-chain data access for users and applications.
2/ Users and applications need to be able to access and interact with these networks.
To send a transaction on-chain, your wallet needs to communicate with the blockchain. To show your balance, an explorer needs to read it.
3/ That happens through RPC endpoints that are served by specialized providers.
Historically, RPC infrastructure has been a centralized game, with players like @AlchemyPlatform or @infura_io serving the lions share of RPC connections in the market.
4/ This centralized design comes with many issues that we all know too well.
Liveness and resilience of these RPCs is limited, with airdrops or other high-load events on-chain often crashing RPCs, leaving users unable to do anything.
5/ In a world of thousands of vertical- and app-specific execution layers and in a rollup-centric multi-chain future, this infrastructure needs to scale.
We need robust, decentralized and permissionless RPC networks.
We need @lavanetxyz. 🌋
6/ If you want to learn more about @lavanetxyz, check out my deep dive below!👇

7/ This is core infrastructure within the modular stack and looking at the valuation that other large infra projects in the space have been getting on the market recently, a billion $$$ FDV is not out of the question.
So let's talk about the $LAVA airdrop! 🪂👇
8/ To start, head over to the @lavanetxyz points page and sign up.
Using the Lava RPC will get you Magma points (which will likely bring you an airdrop).
points.lavanet.xyz/register?code=3ZXEO
9/ Once done, head over to the dashboard and copy your link.
This will be the RPC URL you need to set up @lavanetxyz in your wallet and using your own will ensure max airdrop rewards.
If you're lazy (and want to support me tho) use this RPC URL:
eth1.lava.build/lava-referer-3001bb4c-a348-4eff-a34d-30cce4e815c7/
10/ This is probably the easiest airdrop to farm ever.
No capital to put at risk, no tasks to complete.
Just use @lavanetxyz as your wallet RPC for Ethereum.
For @Rabby_io and @MetaMask step-by-step guides, keep scrolling!👇
11/ 🐰 Rabby Wallet
If you are a user of @Rabby_io, open your wallet and click on "more".
12/ Scroll down and click on "modify RPC URL".
13/ Click on the blue "modify RPC URL" button.
14/ Paste your RPC URL (from @lavanetxyz dashboard).
If you're lazy, use this one:
eth1.lava.build/lava-referer-3001bb4c-a348-4eff-a34d-30cce4e815c7/
Click on the "save" button.
15/ Make sure the slider here is on and close this window.
Congratulations you are now earning yourself a $LAVA airdrop. ! 🪂
16/ 🦊 MetaMask Wallet
If you are a @Metamask user, open your wallet and click on the three dots in the top right.
17/ Click on "settings".
18/ Scroll down and click on "networks".
19/ Click on the "add new network" button.
20/ Click on "add new network manually".
21/ Fill in the network specs as on the picture.
Paste your RPC URL (from @lavanetxyz dashboard) as "New RPC URL".
If you're lazy, use this one:
eth1.lava.build/lava-referer-3001bb4c-a348-4eff-a34d-30cce4e815c7/
Click on "save".
22/ Now, switch to your new Ethereum RPC powered by @lavanetxyz.
Congratulations you are now earning yourself a $LAVA airdrop. ! 🪂
23/ Are you telling me you don't have time to change your RPC while the market is down?
You must not like airdrops anon.
NFA but DYOR. No capital at risk here. 🌋
