RPC (Remote Procedure Call)

The communication protocol that lets your wallet or dApp talk to a blockchain node.

Definition

The communication protocol that lets your wallet or dApp talk to a blockchain node. When you send a transaction, your wallet sends an RPC request to a node. Free public RPCs like Infura and Alchemy handle most of this traffic, though they can be slow during congestion. Running your own node gives you a private RPC.
