Make a connection

Users can interact with the blockchain by using the following modes:

  • Querying data
  • Broadcasting a transaction

Connect to a chain​

To perform these actions, connect to the blockchain by using an LCDClient object, which represents a connection to a node running the light client daemon (LCD). The LCD serves as a RESTful API over HTTP. Fluid.js abstracts away the details of making raw API calls and provide an interface with which you can work.
