RPC network crypto
What is RPC network crypto?
RPCs, a technical abbreviation for “Remote Procedure Calls”, is a set of protocols that allow clients to perform remote communications or interactions through a server to a blockchain. For example, these communications and exchanges can be easily understood as checking the balance, making a transaction, or even viewing the smartcontract.
What is RPC used for?
RPCs grant us the ability to generate a connection with the servers. On this note, most decentralized applications (dApp) with RPC protocol intact allow users to directly perform any interactions on a blockchain by themselves
Another use case of an RPC is when you connect your wallet through the most decentralized exchange, your communications and interactions to a blockchain server are most probably routed by RPCs.
Why does blockchain use RPC?
Because without RPC, we won’t be able to access a specified network through a blockchain server. Thus, your transactions or interaction won’t be based on blockchain technology.
Imagine that without the networks' RPC, you won’t be able to recover the tokens you sent on the wrong network.
Where can I find RPC network?
RPC crypto network data points can be found on the official website of each network. However, we’ve gathered some of the most prominent RPC networks on the list here for your reference:

How do I change my wallet to RPC?
You can easily change the RPC network Metamask by following these simple steps:
Go to the Metamask website, download the app and create a new account if you haven’t had one Choose mainnet on the top of the wallet screen and click “add network” Type in RPC network addresses provided above or other network as you want After successfully connecting to the network, your Metamask will show the new network and the amount of its native token you currently have
Why do you need RPC?
Once again, in order to interact with a blockchain, we need a way to access the network servers through a proper and generic option which is called RPC protocol. These RPC nodes allow communications and interactions with a blockchain server
