Lava is the wallet and credit infrastructure powering how the internet pays for AI.
We let companies issue credits, track usage, and get paid—across any pricing model, from usage-based to prepaid to subscription. With one simple integration, startups can monetize in minutes without building custom billing systems.
Lava is developer-first and interoperable—teams can use a single API to interact with any model or application without managing multiple keys, accounts, or subscriptions. No switching, no friction.
We’re building the financial layer for AI.
