Most blockchain RPC services fall into capability levels that matter for developers.
Basic tier gives you JSON-RPC endpoints—query data, push transactions, check blocks and gas prices. Gets the job done for standard operations.
Advanced tier unlocks WebSocket connections. This is where things get interesting: stream mempool activity as it happens, subscribe to on-chain events in real time, catch smart contract logs the moment they fire. Critical infrastructure for anyone building trading bots or monitoring protocols.
The gap between these tiers? Latency. Real-time data access separates casual builders from serious operators in this space.
