# Blockchain API

> JSON-RPC endpoints over HTTP and WebSocket for 28 networks, with per-project API keys.

**What is Blockchain API?**

The Blockops Blockchain API provides developers with instant, high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints via HTTP and WebSockets (WSS). It acts as the critical communication bridge between your decentralized application (dApp) and the blockchain, handling node operations and syncing behind the scenes.

**The Problem It Solves**

Running your own blockchain nodes requires massive storage, constant updates, and 24/7 monitoring. The Blockchain API eliminates this infrastructure burden. You simply use our API endpoint to get reliable read/write access to the network, allowing you to focus entirely on building your application.

**Dashboard**

The dashboard gives access to all the available features on Blockops and provides a side navigation for easy navigation.

To get started, visit [blockops.network](https://www.blockops.network) and navigate to the Blockchain API page on the dashboard. This allows you to connect to a network which generates your API keys.
