What is RPC in blockchain?

In the field of blockchain, RPC is a set of protocols and interfaces that provide access to a server node on a given network, helping users connect and interact with the blockchain system. Users can query blockchain-related information (such as block numbers, blocks, node connection,…) and send transaction requests through the RPC interface.

How to use private blockchain RPC endpoints?

To start using private blockchain RPC endpoints, developers should complete the following steps: Register an account on the website of the RPC node provider. Choose the configuration of the API endpoint. Select the tariff plan; if the paid package is selected, the user should pay in crypto or fiat to activate it.

What are the disadvantages of blockchain RPC?

Scalability: The performance of blockchain RPC can be affected by the number of requests being made and the complexity of the functions being performed. This can be a drawback if the RPC server is not designed to handle a high volume of requests or if the functions being performed are resource-intensive.

Do Dapps need to run blockchain RPC nodes independently?

Note that with blockchain RPC nodes, DApps don’t need to run blockchain nodes independently. Instead, they can connect to public and private RPC endpoints. Private endpoints are go-to solutions for commercial usage maintained by blockchain RPC node providers.
