Connect to a Blockchain Network

Which Blockchain networks can be access through shared nodes using RSKEC?

Currently, we have shared nodes of RSK, Lacchain and Ethereum networks. You can connect your Dapp to any of these and send transactions right away. We are constantly working on incorporating more shared nodes and there will be more networks available soon.

Can I deploy a permissioned network using RSKEC?

Yes. At the moment, RSKEC allows you to deploy a permissioned Besu network.

Do I need to purchase cryptocurrency to connect to networks?

You do not need to purchase any cryptocurrency to run environments and connect to networks in RSKEC. However, if you want to send transactions to a share node hosted in RSKEC, you might need to have a wallet funded with gas for the network you wish to use.

Does RSKEC support the deployment of a node in a public network?

At the moment, RSKEC only allows to connect to shared nodes of the supported public networks. However, it is in our roadmap and soon RSKEC will support the automatic deployment of nodes of public networks.

How do I connect to a shared node?

See in our connecting to network/nodes section.

How can I use the Identity Wallet?
