An RSK node is a computer (server) with installed client software components that participates in the Rootstock network, serving as a point of connection and communication with other nodes in the network.

How to run an RSK node?

To run a Rootstock node, you need to download and install the client node software on your computer or server. Then, you can configure and start the node, which will begin synchronizing with the network and allow you to interact with it.

What is an RSK full node?

An RSK full node is a type of Rootstock node that stores and maintains a complete copy of the blockchain. It validates transactions and blocks, verifies the network's rules, and provides a high level of security and trustworthiness.

RSK RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol that allows clients to interact with a Rootstock node over a network. It provides a set of methods and commands that can be used to query information from the node, send transactions, and perform various operations on the network.

How does RSK API work?

The RSK API exposes a set of endpoints and functionalities that developers can utilize to interact with the blockchain programmatically. It allows users to retrieve blockchain data, send transactions, deploy smart contracts, and perform other operations by making HTTP requests to the API endpoints provided by the node.

Rootstock RPC: Why should you choose it?

Rootstock is the largest Bitcoin network scaling solution. It launched in 2014 as a virtual machine to address major limitations of Bitcoin by using it as a security layer for smart contracts.

Rootstock RPC APIs ecosystem is suitable for deploying decentralized applications of all types including DeFis, NFT marketplaces, on-chain games, and non-custodial wallets. It has already on-boarded decentralized stablecoins (MoC), decentralized lending and borrowing protocols (Sovryn, Tropykus), decentralized swaps instruments (Liquaility), and so on.
The blockchain supercharges Rootstock Infrastructure Framework, a development framework designed for resource-efficient dApps building backed by hash power of Bitcoin, a largest blockchain.
The blockchain supports Turing complete EVM smart contracts thanks to its decentralized bridge system that enables two-way connection between Rootstock and Ethereum. Smart contracts of Ethereum-based dApps can therefore be deployed to Rootstock with minimum codebase changes.
The protocol and its associated solutions are developed by veteran blockchain team IOV Labs. RBTC (“Smart Bitcoin”), a 1:1 Bitcoin-pegged asset, is a core native cryptocurrency of the network and Rootstock-based applications.
