Could you elaborate on the drawbacks or limitations of using RPC, or Remote Procedure Call, in the context of cryptocurrency and finance? Are there any security concerns that arise from its implementation? Additionally, does RPC tend to introduce latency or slowdowns in transaction processing, and if so, how significant is this impact? Lastly, are there any scalability limitations that RPC poses, particularly as the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to grow and evolve?

One of the notable disadvantages of RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is its lack of flexibility. RPC is inherently tightly coupled to the methods defined on the server, limiting the client's ability to adapt to changes in the server's API without modifications to the client code.

Stateful RPC interactions can also lead to issues with session management and load balancing, as requests may need to be routed to specific nodes to maintain state consistency.

Despite these disadvantages, RPC remains a popular choice for inter-process communication due to its simplicity and ease of use.

This tight coupling can create challenges for developers who need to maintain compatibility with multiple versions of the server or who anticipate frequent updates to the server's functionality.

Another disadvantage of RPC is its reliance on stateful interactions. While statefulness can be useful in certain scenarios, it can also reduce scalability.
