+### Difference between Blockchain API and Stacks Node RPC API
+
+The [Stacks 2.0 Blockchain API](/references/stacks-blockchain) is a centrally-hosted API that is accessible via the internet and enables interactions with the publicly-viewable state of the Stacks 2.0 blockchain, including transaction, account, and smart contract data.
+
+The [Node RPC API](/references/stacks-rpc-api) is locally-hosted and runs on Stacks 2.0 Blockchain nodes, providing similar functionality but in a way that is scoped to that specific node, giving access to raw transaction data as the node sees it.

-The Stacks Blockchain API was built to maintain pageable materialized views of the Stacks 2.0 Blockchain. It is a server that exposes a RESTful JSON API, hosted by PBC. It introduces aidditonal functionality (e.g. get all transactions), as well as proxies calls directly to Stacks Node. [You can find the OpenAPI specification and documentation here](https://blockstack.github.io/stacks-blockchain-api/).

 ### POST /v2/transactions
 
 This endpoint is for posting _raw_ transaction data to the node's mempool.
