◼️32/100 Block-by-Block: What is an RPC API?

One thing I learned about: What is an RPC API?

RPC is a way to design APIS.

• Focuses on processes: calls a function
• It calls remote functions as if a local service
• Both client and server keep a proxy representation of each other (stub and skeleton)
• Fixed data format
• Client needs to know server functions and parameters
• Can be stateful
