Frequently Asked Questions

An RPC node is a server that allows remote procedure calls (RPC) to interact with a blockchain network, enabling users to query data and submit transactions.
In the context of cryptocurrency, RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. It is a protocol that allows a program to request a service from a program located on another computer in a network, facilitating communication between different blockchain nodes.
RPC in web3 refers to the use of remote procedure calls to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain networks through the web3.js library, enabling functions like reading blockchain data and sending transactions.
RPCs are used to enable communication between different systems or nodes in a network, allowing them to request and execute procedures or services from each other. In blockchain, they facilitate data retrieval and transaction submission.
An RPC endpoint is a specific URL or address where an RPC server listens for requests from clients. It serves as the access point for interacting with the blockchain network via RPC calls.
