🪙RPC & WebSocket
What is an RPC?
The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol allows DogWifTools to interact directly with the Solana blockchain. It acts as a bridge, enabling the software to send requests and receive responses from the blockchain network.
What is a WebSocket?
WebSockets provide a real-time communication channel between your application and the Solana blockchain. Unlike RPC, which is request-response based, WebSockets allow for continuous, two-way interaction.
How to Obtain RPC and WebSocket Access:
To interact with the Solana blockchain via RPC and WebSocket, you need access to a Solana node. Nodes provide the necessary endpoints for both RPC and WebSocket connections. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to obtain this access:
STEP 1: Choose a Node Provider.
You can use any node provider just make sure it is fast (Don't use Helius).
Our recommended providers are:
Open a ticket in our discord server
Do NOT use a free node you will experience many issues.
STEP 2: Configure settings.
Copy the RPC and WebSocket URL from your node provider.
Enter the URL's into their respective fields in the General Settings tab.
Click Save.
