Set up a custom RPC on Wraith Wallet

What is an RPC?

RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. It’s a protocol that lets one computer request and execute a function on another computer over a network.

In crypto, RPCs are essential because they allow Wraith Wallet to communicate with blockchain nodes. For example, they handle requests to broadcast transactions or fetch balances from the blockchain.

Why is it needed?

Interaction with the blockchain: RPCs let Wraith Wallet send transactions, check balances, and fetch account data.

Node communication: Instead of running your own full node, you can connect to a remote one via RPC.

Real-time data: RPCs deliver updates on transaction confirmations and account status.

In short, RPCs are the backbone of smooth, real-time interaction between your wallet and the blockchain.

💡 Tip Custom RPCs are useful if you want more reliability, speed, or privacy than the default settings provide.
