RPC Node

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a general software communication protocol that allows one program to request data or services from another program running on a separate computer or network. In the blockchain context, an RPC node is a computer running blockchain client software that enables wallets and applications to communicate with the network. RPC nodes receive user-signed transaction data and transmit it to the peer-to-peer network for independent validation and potential inclusion in a block. They do not take custody of assets, modify transactions, or control network outcomes.
