They automate logic, handle assets, and enforce rules on-chain. But to interact with them, for example, to read data, send transactions, or deploy new contracts, your app must communicate with a <span class=\"s2\"><b>blockchain node<\/b><\/span>.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">That communication happens through <span class=\"s2\"><b>RPC (Remote Procedure Call)<\/b><\/span> \u2014 the standard interface between your app and the blockchain.

limits.<\/p><h3><b>Security<\/b><\/h3><p class=\"p3\">Redundant infrastructure protects you against malicious node responses and ensures data consistency.<\/p><h3><b>Flexibility<\/b><\/h3><p
