As financial institutions race to modernize their legacy systems through decentralized solutions, most often overlook the complex infrastructure powering these systems. Blockchain networks rely on a web of node operators and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints that provide access to critical data. Yet, this infrastructure remains fragile.
Several technical challenges, specifically around data access and reliability, continue to prevent the delivery of consistent, high-quality service that enterprise clients expect. These issues are typically a result of blockchain’s distributed nature, making seamless integration difficult to achieve.
At the institutional level, reliance on a single provider introduces significant vulnerabilities. For organizations managing billions in crypto assets, even minor delays or outages can lead to a substantial financial loss, jeopardizing the institutions’ promise to deliver reliable, uninterrupted service.
To meet the increasing demand for reliable blockchain access, Lava Network, a blockchain infrastructure platform supporting tier-1 chains, announced its collaboration with Fireblocks, a major digital assets platform providing secure blockchain infrastructure.
Fireblocks supports over 100 blockchains, providing reliable access to its large customer base of financial institutions. It has integrated Lava’s Smart Router to deliver vendor-agnostic RPC access with enterprise-grade reliability for over 2,000 institutional customers.
Yair Cleper, CEO of Magma Devs and Lava Network contributor, shares: “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 infrastructure layer aggregates multiple RPC network providers by optimizing requests to the quickest and most reliable nodes, without replacing existing infrastructure. Through its built-in failover, error recovery, dual caching, and observability tools, the Smart Router helps Fireblocks create a new standard for handling large-scale trading across multiple blockchains.
Pavel Beregoltz, Co-Founder and CTO of Fireblocks, says: “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.”
As financial institutions continue to embrace blockchain technology, the standards of reliability and scalability are shifting. While traditional RPC solutions have failed to deliver the high-quality solutions demanded by enterprise clients, Lava Network’s solution offers the performance and flexibility institutions require.
