RPCs

What is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC)?

The acronym RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. RPCs allow communications with servers remotely and provide the ability to execute programs in a separate location. In blockchain terms, an RPC allows access to a server node on the specified network and allows you to communicate and interact with that blockchain.

Why do we need RPCs?

In order to interact with a blockchain, we need a way to access the network servers through a suitable and generic option to perform operations like viewing a balance, creating a transaction, or interacting with a smart contract. RPCs are what give us the ability to establish that connection with the servers.

When a developer creates a decentralized application (dApp) with RPC capabilities, a user will then be able to perform requests and interact with the blockchain. For example, if you've ever used a decentralized exchange (DEX) by connecting a wallet, your connection and communications are being routed through an RPC to communicate with a blockchain server.

How do I connect to an RPC using Jwallet?

It's possible to connect to a custom network using compatible RPC data by using the Jwallet.

You can connect to a custom network by following these steps
