Lava Network, the enterprise-grade RPC (Remote Procedure Call) routing layer, announces its MiCA Compliant following the completion and publication of its MiCA Title II crypto-asset whitepaper. This approval allows the native LAVA token to be lawfully accessed, held, and traded across all EU member states, opening access to new holders, delegators, and node operators. With MICA compliance now in effect, LAVA is available on Kraken EU, while Kraken Global expands availability worldwide, making the token accessible across the EU and internationally. This regulatory and distribution milestone allows Lava Network to scale globally, strengthening institutional trust and enabling participation by Tier-1 exchanges, further enhancing the protocol’s long-term growth goals.
On-chain activity continues to grow as new L1s, L2s, and applications come online. However, as the ecosystem expands, the underlying infrastructure often lags. Early-stage chains often lack reliable RPC access to bootstrap their networks properly, and centralized providers struggle to scale as demand rises. Developers face inconsistent data availability, unstable endpoints, and limited visibility into performance. As the number of chains and applications increases, the need for dependable, high-quality access to onchain data has become an infrastructure issue that ecosystems can no longer ignore.

By completing the MiCA Title II procedure and meeting all regulatory requirements, including verifying that LAVA is not a financial instrument and observing the 20-day notice period, Lava Network has achieved full legal compliance across the EU. This comes at a time when demand for compliant digital asset infrastructure is growing. For enterprises like Fireblocks, one of the largest RPC consumers connecting users to hundreds of blockchain networks, maintaining real-time accuracy and zero downtime is crucial. This regulatory clarity enables enterprises and foundations to confidently integrate decentralized RPC at scale, strengthening network security, improving reliability, and delivering resilient infrastructure needed for growing ecosystems.
With rising demand, Lava Network’s global listings and newly authorized EU access ensure users worldwide can access the full utility of LAVA. The token powers the network through staking, node operation, performance rewards, and participation in pools that encourage reliable, high-quality service. With a fixed one billion supply, monthly burns, and no public unlocks until 2026, LAVA is increasingly tied to real-world usage as more chains, enterprises, and AI-agent systems continue to integrate Lava Network’s decentralized routing layer.

Lava Network has already routed over 150 billion requests across major ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, NEAR, Hedera, Filecoin, Hyperliquid, and Cosmos. Through the Smart Router developed by Magma Devs, Lava Network aggregates leading data providers, including Alchemy, Fireblocks, and Chainstack, routing traffic based on real-time quality-of-service metrics. It delivers 99.99% uptime for developers, enterprises, and emerging AI-agent workloads that require fast, verifiable on-chain access.
“As Lava Network’s ecosystem continues to mature, completing MiCA compliance and expanding across global exchanges marks a defining moment for our protocol,” says Yair Cleper, co-founder of Magma Devs and contributor to Lava Network. “Reliable, high-uptime access to on-chain data is crucial for developers, enterprises, foundations, and AI-agent systems, and it remains central to our mission. The global availability of LAVA, combined with the recent MiCA Compliant, strengthens our network at a time when real-world usage is accelerating.”
