What are Ontology RPC Services?
Ontology RPC Services provide remote procedure call (RPC) endpoints that enable developers to interact with the Ontology blockchain network. These services include node hosting, API access, and data querying tools that facilitate communication with Ontology's distributed ledger without requiring developers to run their own nodes. Typical tools in this category offer JSON-RPC or RESTful interfaces to submit transactions, query blockchain state, and listen for events.
The primary users of Ontology RPC Services are dapp developers, infrastructure teams, and product builders who need reliable, scalable access to Ontology blockchain data and functionality. Key characteristics of these services include high availability, low latency, and support for Ontology-specific protocols and data structures. Subcategories may include public RPC providers, dedicated node hosting, and hybrid RPC solutions that combine on-chain data with off-chain indexing.
Developers should consider Ontology RPC Services when building applications that require direct interaction with the Ontology blockchain but want to avoid the overhead of maintaining full nodes. These services simplify development, improve performance, and ensure consistent access to blockchain data.
