The door into the chain
Apps and wallets don't talk to the chain directly; they call a node over RPC to read state and submit transactions.
Where it connects
Self-hosted nodes
Full control, ops burden.
Managed RPC
Hosted endpoints with SLAs and extra APIs.
Decentralized RPC
Requests spread across independent operators.
Across ecosystems, not one chain.
Latency and uptime
Rate limits and price
Single-provider dependence
