Setting Up a Connection

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

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 documentation, as Rapidchain is compatible with EVM and supports the same RPC methods.

Troubleshooting and Support

If you encounter any issues while connecting to Rapidchain via RPC, please check the following:

• Ensure the RPC URL is correct and accessible.

• Make sure you have the correct Chain ID for the network you are connecting to.

• If you’re using a third-party library, make sure it’s up-to-date.
