In the early days of the Internet, all web content was delivered from a specific origin server, causing high latency for far-away users and outages during traffic spikes. However, the rise of cloud infrastructure has changed this. The Internet has become a responsive ecosystem, distributing workloads across globally scalable data centers and using tools like Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to reduce latency and improve reliability.
Blockchain infrastructure, on the other hand, has yet to catch up. Blockchain networks still face speed, scalability, and latency limitations, making it hard to support enterprise-grade applications that rely on high-volume data access.
However, Lava Network, a platform providing Remote Procedure Call (RPC) access to blockchain networks, is claiming to bring a solution by introducing the principles of cloud and CDN architecture to blockchain. Just as CDNs streamline web traffic, Lava’s Smart Router directs RPC requests across multiple providers, automatically connecting to the most reliable blockchain node for seamless data access.

In a joint announcement, Lava Network recently revealed that Fireblocks, a top-tier digital assets platform with over 2000 institutional clients, will integrate Lava’s Smart Router into its infrastructure.
Yair Cleper, CEO of Magma Devs and Lava Network contributor, shares why Fireblocks is a natural fit for Lava’s Smart Router: “This integration is a validation of the infrastructure layer we’ve been building since day one… Enterprises like Fireblocks need performance, reliability, and flexibility—and that’s exactly what Lava delivers.”
Lava’s Smart Router provides the secure vendor-agnostic access that Fireblocks needs, as it relies on high RPC availability for performance. This solution saves Fireblocks time spent on manually resolving RPC issues, allowing the team to focus on other tasks.
Just as minor improvements to CDNs’ uptime help improve web experiences, a stronger RPC infrastructure reduces errors and data gaps, building greater trust and long-term adoption.
Pavel Beregoltz, co-founder and CTO of Fireblocks, addressed the significance of this integration by sharing: “Lava’s Smart Router has improved our ability to deliver optimized and reliable blockchain access for our users. It’s enabled our teams to focus more on innovation and less on managing node-level infrastructure.”
In addition to Fireblocks, industry leaders like NEAR, Arbitrum, and Starknet also leverage Lava’s technology, further validating its role in shaping a more reliable and scalable Web3 ecosystem.
