Question 1

What is RPC in Etherlink?

Accepted Answer

Etherlink is an EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain that runs on top of Tezos using Smart Rollup technology, giving developers an Ethereum-like environment secured by the Tezos base layer.

Question 2

Why does Etherlink use RPC?

Accepted Answer

It was built to let Ethereum-native projects and tooling (wallets, indexers, developer frameworks) deploy easily on a faster, cheaper network, while inheriting the decentralized governance and security guarantees Tezos already has in place.

Question 3

How to use Etherlink RPC?

Accepted Answer

Etherlink is powered by an enshrined optimistic rollup built directly into the Tezos protocol, so its fraud-proof system and validation logic don't rely on external smart contracts. It offers fast confirmations, sub-cent transaction fees, and a permissionless network anyone can help operate by running a node or participating in the challenge process. Governance decisions, including sequencer changes and kernel upgrades, are voted on by Tezos stakeholders, and the network connects to Ethereum and other chains through bridges and interoperability layers.
