Blast RPC is a communication protocol that allows sending remote procedure calls (RPC) to blockchain nodes using the Blast mainnet and Blast testnet. It enables developers to interact with the blockchain and perform actions such as sending transactions, querying information, and subscribing to events via Blast dApps, Blast testnet bridges, Blast faucets, and so on.

How can I use Blast RPC to connect to a blockchain node?

In order to connect to a blockchain node using Blast RPC, you have to establish a connection to the node's RPC endpoint. Also, Blast test tokens can be claimed from Blast Sepolia testnet faucets. This can be done by providing the node's hostname or IP address, along with the appropriate port number and authentication credentials if required.

Which programming languages or libraries support Blast RPC?

Blast (BLAST) RPC can be integrated with dApps developed using various programming languages and libraries. Some popular options include Solidity, Python, and so on. These programming tools provide convenient interfaces to interact with the blockchain using Blast L2 RPC.

What are some common Blast RPC methods?

Blast (BLAST) RPC offers a range of methods to interact with the blockchain. Some common methods include eth_blockNumber to return the number of the most recent block, eth_getBalance to return the balance of the account of given address, and eth_getBlockByHash to return information about a block by hash. You can refer to the Blast network RPC documentation for a comprehensive list of available methods.

What are the advantages of using Blast RPC?

With the private node Blast API, you don’t need to run self-hosted infrastructure for deploying decentralized applications on Blast L2. Once set up, Blast RPC endpoint can just be integrated into the codebase of your dApp or interface of your on-chain wallet.

How do I connect my application to a Blast RPC node?

To connect a crypto application to a Blast RPC node, you need to make HTTP requests to Blast API endpoints provided by the blockchain node provider. These endpoints usually require you to specify the HTTP method (such as GET, POST, or PUT) and the necessary parameters in the request body or as query parameters. The API documentation of your chosen BLAST L2 RPC provider can share more details and examples on how to access and use the Blast API.

BLAST RPC: What is special about it?

Introduced in Q4, 2023, Blast is an L2 on the top of Ethereum. It means that it partially processes data outside Ethereum (ETH) mainnet to reduce the usage of its computation resources.

Blast is associated with Blur, a dominant NFT marketplace. Blast L2 network is a brainchild of Blur founder Tieshun Roquerre who is also known as “Pacman”. Blast is backed by Paradigm, a heavyweight international VC firm.
Blast kicked off with much controversy around its security design; some sources referred to Blast testnet as “multi-sig” or “sidechain” that was promoted as L2. Despite the allegations, Blast quickly became top-tier L2 in terms of total value locked. In November-December, 2023, Blast L2 network managed to amass dozens of billions in TVL.
Blast RPC allows customers to leverage the concept of re-staking: since the beta release of the protocol, customers were able to inject liquidity for periodical rewards in future.
Blast L2 testnet successfully launched on January 17, 2024. As such, Blast testnet RPC are ready to on-board test versions of decentralized applications of various types.
