Remote Procedure Call Endpoints
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints are the interfaces that allow applications to communicate with a blockchain node. When a user interacts with a decentralized application, the application sends requests to an RPC endpoint to read state or submit transactions.
The performance and reliability of these endpoints directly affect the user experience. If an endpoint is slow or goes offline, the application becomes unusable.
Developers often use multiple providers to ensure high availability and redundancy. Managing RPC infrastructure is a key operational challenge for any protocol that requires constant, low-latency access to the blockchain.
