# RPC Infrastructure

## Overview

RPC endpoints are the primary way your application interacts with the Pharos Network. They allow you to send transactions, query on-chain data, and communicate with the network programmatically.

As a developer, you’ll use RPCs to connect your frontend, backend, or scripts to the blockchain during development and in production.

## What You Can Do with RPC

* Send transactions to the network
* Read on-chain data (balances, contract state, logs)
* Interact with smart contracts
* Listen to events and track activity
* Power applications, scripts, and integrations

## Why It Matters

RPC endpoints act as the bridge between your application and the blockchain. Choosing the right provider and configuration is important for performance, reliability, and scalability.

## Available RPC Providers

Pharos supports multiple RPC providers for both Mainnet and Testnet environments.

* ZAN RPC
* Nirvana RPC
* Alchemy RPC

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pharos.xyz/tooling-and-infrastructure/rpc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
