Heads-up for NEAR devs – Migrate Your NEAR RPC to Lava

NEAR is phasing out its free public RPCs at https://rpc.mainnet.near.org and pagoda.co. All apps that still point there need to migrate before the endpoints go read-only.

Why switch to Lava?

• Official option – Lava’s NEAR mainnet & testnet RPCs are on NEAR’s recommended list.

• Drop-in replacement – same API, full archival data, no setup.

• Free & generous – no fees and no rate-limits below ~30 RPS for public endpoints.

• Decentralised & monitored – powered by multiple node providers and 24/7 metrics.

Quick migration:

# .env or config.js
NEAR_RPC=https://near.lava.build/rpc  # Lava mainnet
NEAR_TESTNET_RPC=https://near-testnet.lava.build/rpc
