What is RPC?

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is the essential communication protocol used by applications, wallets, trading bots, and developers to interact seamlessly with the Solana blockchain.

Think of RPC as the language your app uses to talk directly to the blockchain. Every interaction you have with Solana, checking your wallet balance, executing token swaps, staking tokens, fetching market data, or minting NFTs, relies on making RPC requests. RPC endpoints process these requests and return the necessary data or transaction results, ensuring your application functions smoothly and reliably.


How RPC Works on Solana

On Solana, RPC is how your application bridges the gap between user actions and blockchain execution. Here's the typical workflow:

  • Request Formation: Your app sends a structured request (JSON-RPC) through Carbium’s endpoint.
  • RPC Handling: Carbium receives the request, routes it securely, and efficiently communicates with the Solana blockchain nodes.
  • Blockchain Response: Solana processes the request, retrieves data, executes a transaction, or performs the required action.
  • Result Delivery: Carbium returns the response quickly and reliably to your application.

This streamlined process happens in milliseconds, enabling fast, real-time blockchain interactions.


Why RPC is Core to Solana

1. Performance

RPC determines the speed and responsiveness of your Solana interactions. Carbium RPC guarantees ultra-fast response times (sub-50ms latency) and high reliability (99.99% uptime), crucial for DeFi trading, NFT minting, and real-time analytics.
