Fireblocks has selected Lava Network to enhance its blockchain data infrastructure, aiming to deliver consistent, secure, and high-performance access across more than 100 supported blockchains.
The partnership addresses the increasing demands of Fireblocks’ over 2,000 institutional clients, which rely on uninterrupted blockchain connectivity for high-volume digital asset operations.
Pavel Berengoltz, Co-Founder and CTO at Fireblocks, commented, “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.”
Lava’s Smart Router aggregates RPC network providers and dynamically routes requests to the most responsive and stable node. It includes features such as built-in failover, dual caching, and telemetry tools that allow for better observability and automated recovery. The integration does not replace Fireblocks’ existing infrastructure vendors but augments them with performance-based routing to maintain service continuity and latency reduction.
This layer of abstraction ensures that performance disruptions from individual node providers are mitigated without manual intervention, a critical advantage for Fireblocks as it facilitates custody, payments, tokenization, and trading at scale.
Yair Cleper, CEO at Magma Devs and contributor to Lava Network, commented, “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.”
Fireblocks, which has processed over $10 trillion in digital asset transfers, maintains infrastructure across more than 100 blockchains and supports over 300 million wallets. The company serves institutional clients including banks, custodians, fintech firms, and exchanges, many of which require 24/7 access to blockchain services across disparate networks.
The collaboration with Lava reinforces Fireblocks’ efforts to improve backend resiliency amid expanding transaction volumes and rising uptime expectations from institutional users. Even marginal improvements in RPC (Remote Procedure Call) performance can impact settlement speed, trading volume, and customer trust in blockchain-enabled services.
Lava Network operates a decentralized RPC and API protocol designed to unify access across blockchain ecosystems. Its infrastructure allows developers and enterprises to connect to any supported chain through a single interface, using multi-vendor routing to ensure continuity and redundancy. Lava’s model supports open participation, allowing any high-performance provider to contribute and earn from RPC routing activity.
Fireblocks’ integration of Lava’s Smart Router is part of a broader industry trend toward modular, resilient blockchain infrastructure that can accommodate the scale and complexity of modern digital asset flows. With demands from trading desks, DeFi protocols, and token issuers rising, RPC access has become a critical performance bottleneck for blockchain operations.
The companies have published a joint case study detailing the integration and its results, now available on Lava Network’s website. Fireblocks continues to evolve its infrastructure to match its role as a core enabler of digital asset transactions for some of the world’s largest financial institutions.
