There are now two RPC APIs in Execution Clients:
- Querying API
http://geth.dappnode:8545
. Use this endpoint to query transactions on your node and connect your web3 wallet. - Engine API
http//geth.dappnode:8551
. Use this endpoint to connect your Beacon Chain (Consensus Layer) client.
After the merge, if your Execution Client is not connected to a Consensus Layer client, you won't be able to use it to query the blockchain, nor will you be able to connect your wallet to it!
