### Note

- The RPC implementation is currently in **development** and subject to change.
- The compute units have **not been defined** yet and will be updated in the future.

This guide provides Blockdaemon-specific JSON-RPC methods that extend [standard Litecoin methods](https://docs.blockdaemon.com/reference/litecoin-methods-rpc-api). These endpoints are available via our RPC API and return data in JSON-RPC format.

Litecoin custom methods support the following networks:

- `mainnet`
- `testnet`

### Note

See the [Litecoin RPC API connection guide](https://docs.blockdaemon.com/docs/how-to-connect-to-litecoin).
