The score is not for sale.
Lahza is a reliability instrument for an ecosystem: every mainnet L1, observed from inside its network, continuously, on a public methodology. The public sees the score. Foundations fund the instrument — and decide how far its evidence reaches.
An independent, open-methodology observatory that listens to every L1 in the ecosystem from inside the network — finality, uptime, cross-chain delivery — sends nothing, and publishes a score no one can buy.
What the public layer already gives an ecosystem
Every mainnet L1, scored
Observed from inside its network by three observatories. No chain opts in, no chain pays, nothing is sent to any chain.
A number the ecosystem can quote
The Avalanche Reliability Index: median measured finality across every L1, published monthly.
No silent outages
Every incident is published on X with the real user transaction that proves it.
How foundations work with Lahza
An annual agreement. Coverage of every mainnet L1, the monthly index, a quarterly signed ecosystem report, incident reports — and the evidence layer — raw streams, webhooks, breakdowns — opened to every L1 team in the ecosystem, in the foundation's name.
A pool of operator seats the foundation assigns to its L1 teams: streams, webhooks, API, region and incident detail. Teams see Lahza as ecosystem infrastructure, not a vendor.
Raw historical measurements and the index feed for the foundation's research, its reports and the institutions it works with.
Private networks grant our node peering and are observed like any other — free, publicly scored. Chains with transaction allow-lists need nothing at all: we send no transactions. What institutions license is the evidence package: signed quarterly reliability reports, auditor and regulator read access, incident history with on-chain commitments. An institutional index — the median of observed institutional chains — is available to the foundation.
What no agreement changes
- The score is a public, deterministic formula. A funder cannot change a number.
- Methodology changes are versioned and published before they take effect.
- Lahza sends nothing to any chain and runs nothing on any chain's infrastructure; no chain pays to be observed.
- Every incident carries a signed on-chain transaction, and the raw record is committed on-chain every hour — anyone can verify both.
Other ecosystems
The method is chain-agnostic. The same observatories and the same methodology extend to Cosmos, Polkadot and L2 ecosystems, with scores comparable across them.
Scale
One agreement covers every mainnet L1 in the ecosystem from three observatories — every user transaction timed, every one of them evidence.
