# Shyft RPCs

RPCs are the gateway to blockchains. They enable developers and users to interact with the Solana blockchain by making requests to the network. These requests can include querying blockchain data, submitting transactions, and more.

<mark style="color:yellow;">Shyft RPCs</mark> have been built with speed and reliability in mind. Plus, you get the most cost-efficient way of accessing Solana.&#x20;

To access Shyft RPCs, [<mark style="color:red;">get an API key</mark>](https://shyft.to/get-api-key) and start interacting with the fastest chain in town, Solana.
