What is Kaia (KAIA) RPC?

Kaia (KAIA) RPC is a communication protocol that allows sending remote procedure calls (RPC) to blockchain nodes using the Kaia network. Not unlike Klaytn RPC URLs before 2024, it enables developers to interact with the blockchain and perform actions such as sending transactions, querying information, and subscribing to events.

How can I use KAIA RPC to connect to a blockchain node

To connect to a blockchain node using KAIA RPC, you will need to establish a connection to the node's RPC endpoint - similarly to the procedure with Klaytn public RPC before migration. This can be done by providing the node's hostname or IP address, along with the appropriate port number and authentication credentials if required. Once connected, you can start making RPC calls to interact with the blockchain.

Which programming languages or libraries support Kaia (KAIA) RPC?

Kaia (KAIA) RPC is supported by various programming languages and libraries. Some popular options include Solidity language, Web3.js and Ether.js libraries. These libraries provide convenient interfaces to interact with the blockchain using Kaia RPC.

What are some common Kaia (KAIA) RPC methods?

Kaia (KAIA) RPC offers a range of methods to interact with the blockchain. Some common methods include eth_accounts to get a list of addresses owned by the client, eth_blockNumber to get the number of the most recent block, and eth_estimateGas to generate and return an estimate of how much gas is necessary to allow the transaction to complete. You can refer to the Kaia RPC documentation for a comprehensive list of available methods.

What is Kaia (KAIA) API?

Kaia (KAIA) API is an application programming interface (API) that allows developers to interact with the blockchain using the Kaia network just like the RPC Klaytn network used before 2024. It provides a set of endpoints, methods, and data structures that enable developers to retrieve blockchain information, send transactions, and build applications that leverage the blockchain's capabilities.

How can I access the KAIA API?

To access KAIA API, you need to make HTTP requests to the appropriate endpoints provided by the blockchain node. 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 Kaia can provide more details and examples on how to access and use the Kaia API.

Testnet vs mainnet nodes: What's the difference?

Just like Klaytn mainnet RPC previously, KAIA mainnet nodes are used for “real” applications with assets having economical value. Testnet Kaia nodes can only host simulation of dApps with sandbox tokens designed for experiments.

Dedicated vs shared KAIA RPC nodes: Are they different?

Dedicated Kaia nodes should be referred to isolated servers with specific software that only serve one user each. With dedicated nodes, customers don’t need to share the resources with their peers. Shared nodes - Klaytn nodes previously and Kaia nodes nowadays - represent cheaper options when the same node is utilized by various clients.
