Now what? If you aren\u2019t dedicated enough to set up your own full node, might be a good idea to use the NOWNodes service to connect to full nodes of some of the most widespread cryptocurrencies. This is a simple and secure way to get into blockchain \u2013 but how exactly is it secure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOWNodes offers RPC (Remote Procedure Call)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nownodes.gitbook.io\/documentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">connection<\/a>\u00a0via which you access the blockchain. This way, you can carry out administrative tasks, control your wallet and obtain the data you need \u2013 all via remote procedure calls, or commands you use in the client the cryptocurrency creators provide (almost all of them are BTC-like). For instance, you can use such RPCs, or methods, as GetBlockHash (returns hash of block in best-block-chain at height provided), GenerateToAddress (mine blocks immediately to a specified address (before the RPC call returns)), Ping (requests that a ping be sent to all other nodes, to measure ping time), and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20230602084541im_\/https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/DzNYQkTCGM1ZS_pdie_17311ET1N1hSM6Ck_GSeBdc88ZtevKLdpaiYPcQywAyuS3rrmWIvzOubUiS4T10N52hnyAw0F0zqfmZPHGepQgW5HleMozstvBU6oddKIb1aWEpE-TuE\" alt=\"NOWNodes, cryptocurrency, RPC, blockchain\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all of the usable remote procedure calls are safe for you and\/or other users. Carrying out the \u201cstop\u201d method might lead to undesirable consequences. This is why it is crucial to filter user requests to the node. NOWNodes cares about the customers\u2019 experience and well-being and makes sure to protect their privacy and their funds from any unauthorized third-party intrusions. Every user request is verified by the proxy server first, and if it isn\u2019t suspicious, it gets redirected to the node after that. Moreover, the nodes have a built-in P2P protocol filter, which also helps ensure user safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-palette-color-7-color has-vivid-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nownodes.io\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get your personal API key<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find all the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/nownodes.gitbook.io\/documentation\/\">documentation on\u00a0our website<\/a>\u00a0in the respective section.
