RPC options on BOB

If you’ve used a web3 wallet or built on a blockchain, chances are you’ve interacted with an RPC, even if you didn’t realize it.

RPC stands for “Remote Procedure Call” and is the way your wallet or app talks to a blockchain. Every time you check your balance, send a transaction, or interact with a smart contract, you’re making RPC calls to a node. You can see why it makes sense to use a good RPC provider if you want faster responses, higher uptime, and accurate data.
