# Clients
|
|
|
|
Learn how to connect a client to a running node. {synopsis}
|
|
|
|
## Pre-requisite Readings
|
|
|
|
- [Run a Node](./run_node.md) {prereq}
|
|
- [Interacting with the Node](https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.43/run-node/interact-node.html) {prereq}
|
|
|
|
### Client Servers
|
|
|
|
The Ethermint client supports both [gRPC endpoints](https://cosmos.network/rpc) from the SDK and Ethereum's [JSON-RPC](https://eth.wiki/json-rpc/API).
|
|
|
|
#### Cosmos gRPC and Tendermint RPC
|
|
|
|
Ethermint exposes gRPC endpoints (and REST) for all the integrated Cosmos-SDK modules. This makes it easier for
|
|
wallets and block explorers to interact with the proof-of-stake logic and native Cosmos transactions and queries:
|
|
|
|
#### Ethereum JSON-RPC server
|
|
|
|
Ethermint also supports most of the standard web3 [JSON-RPC
|
|
APIs](https://eth.wiki/json-rpc/API) to connect with existing web3 tooling.
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
See the list of supported JSON-RPC API [namespaces](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/server) and endpoints.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
To connect to the JSON-PRC server, use the `rest-server` command as shown on the section above. Then, you can point any Ethereum development tooling to `http://localhost:8545` or whatever port you choose with the listen address flag (`--evm-rpc.address`).
