Conversation
The Lava public node for Mainnet (`rpc.starknet.lava.build`) is discontinued: it now answers HTTP 410. To use Lava, a free account on gateway.lavanet.xyz is now needed to get an API key. With a key, Lava picks a node from a pool for each request, so the RPC version can change between two requests (0.8.1, 0.9.0 and 0.10.3 were seen). Ending the URL with `/rpc/v0_9` fixes the version to 0.9.0 (35 requests out of 35). `/rpc/v0_10` is ignored by Lava. Changes in the provider guide: the Lava row of the Mainnet table, the Mainnet example (public node removed, `/rpc/v0_9` added) and the note under the tables.

Motivation and Resolution
The provider guide showed a public Lava node for Mainnet. It is discontinued (HTTP 410): Lava now needs a free account to get an API key.
With a key, Lava picks a node from a pool for each request, so the RPC version changes (10 requests without ending: 0.8.1 seven times, 0.9.0 twice, 0.10.3 once). Ending the URL with
/rpc/v0_9fixes the version (35 requests out of 35 gave 0.9.0)./rpc/v0_10is ignored by Lava. Starknet.js v11 handles only RPC 0.9 and 0.10, so a URL without ending would fail most of the time.Lava on Sepolia is not tested, its line in the guide is unchanged.
