Setting Up a Connection

To set up a connection to Rapidchain via RPC, you can use web3 libraries like web3.jsarrow-up-right or ethers.jsarrow-up-right.

Here is an example using web3.js:

const Web3 = require('web3');

// Replace with the relevant RPC URL
const rpcURL = 'https://rpc.mainnet.rapidchain.org'; 

const web3 = new Web3(rpcURL);

// Check if the connection is successful
web3.eth.getBlockNumber().then(console.log);

Common RPC Methods

Here are some common RPC methods that you might use when interacting with the Rapidchain network:

  • rpd_blockNumber: Returns the number of the most recent block.

  • rpd_getBalance: Returns the balance of the specified address.

  • rpd_sendTransaction: Sends a transaction to the network.

For a complete list of RPC methods, refer to the Ethereum JSON RPC API documentationarrow-up-right, as Rapidchain is compatible with EVM and supports the same RPC methods.
