◻️ About RPC
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) in the context of blockchain, RPC is used for interacting with network nodes, executing transactions, retrieving data, and managing wallets. In the simplest terms, RPCs enable you to connect to a network everyone.
How is RPC useful for testnet participants?
Access to blockchain data: RPC allows network participants to retrieve information about blocks, transactions, and the network's state. This is useful for monitoring and analyzing the network.
Wallet management: RPC allows you to manage cryptocurrency wallets, create new addresses, check balances, and send transactions. To do this, simply change the standard RPC in your wallet to ours (provided the test network is supported by the wallet).
Development and testing: Developers can use RPC to test their applications and smart contracts in a test environment before deploying them on the main network.
This is very important for the development of the network, which is why our team provides a public RPC that anyone who needs it can use.
For example, to execute any transaction through the terminal using our supported RPC, you can add the following to your command:
◻️ About API
API (Application Programming Interface) - this enables one computer or program to interact with other computers or programs over a shared network. Once you’ve connected to a network, APIs are what enable you to communicate with other devices on that network.
APIs essentially form the framework that allows remote computers within a shared network to interact with each other, while RPCs (or calls) are the method by which this interaction occurs. In other words, the calls represent the actual communication process, whereas an API defines these calls, functionally explaining how to use them within that specific network.
For easier perception: RPCs link you to a network, while APIs enable you to interact with other devices on that network.
How is API useful for testnet participants/developers?
For test network users: APIs allow the automation of testing processes, significantly reducing manual work and increasing efficiency.
For test network users: APIs enable access to and use of up-to-date network data in real-time, facilitating more accurate and timely testing.
For developers: APIs provide easy integration of various services and tools, promoting faster and more efficient creation and testing of new features.
For developers: Ability to access real-time data for rapid problem detection and resolution, and improved application functionality.
This is very important for the development of the network, which is why our team provides a public API that anyone who needs it can use.
