JSON-RPC is a method for moving data between computer systems. It predates public blockchain technology, but it was chosen as a standard for moving data between blockchain networks and internet browsers and wallets. This has led to these networks being called “RPC networks,” even though JSON-RPC is not their defining technical feature. JSON-RPC was first introduced in 2005, and it has been used in a variety of applications...

In the Harmony blockchain’s adaptive state-sharding architecture, Kademlia routing is utilized to carry out cross-shard communications. A routing table stores information on all Harmony network nodes across various shards. Messages between nodes on separate shards move significantly quicker than typical gossip broadcasts to reach the target shard when Kademlia-based routing is used.  The Kademlia routing system substantially lowers...

In the world of cryptocurrencies, a testnet is a separate blockchain network used for testing and experimentation. It is a replica of the mainnet but operates in a controlled environment. Testnets enable developers and users to try out new features, test applications, and identify and fix issues before deploying them on the live network. They provide a simulated environment with test coins, allowing risk-free experimentation. Testnets help...
