The Lava Network is excited to announce the launch of our Providers Incubation Program!

This program is designed to provide potential Providers with access to our testnet lava-testnet-1, allowing them to test and evaluate their capabilities and contribute to the success of the Lava Network and protocol.

<aside> 🏅 Please note that this program is not incentivized. We encourage all potential providers to apply and take part in this program to help us build a robust and secure Lava Network towards Mainnet launch.

What is a Provider?

But first, let's explain what exactly a Provider is in the context of the Lava Network. In the Lava Network, a Provider is an individual or organization that operates a Relay Chain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) node. These nodes are responsible for providing accurate blockchain data to consumers, such as developers building applications on the blockchain.
