API Providers

There are many services which offer a web API for accessing the Ethereum Blockchain. These Providers allow connecting to them, which simplifies development, since you do not need to run your own instance or cluster of Ethereum nodes.

However, this reliance on third-party services can reduce resiliance, security and increase the amount of required trust. To mitigate these issues, it is recommended you use a Default Provider.
