The Problem With Direct Node Access

#access#direct#node#problem

When an application interacts directly with a blockchain node:
Business logic leaks into the application layer
Chain-specific quirks multiply
Error handling becomes inconsistent
Retry logic risks duplicate transactions
Security surface expands
Every chain has its own assumptions.
Every node exposes low-level primitives.
But applications require predictable behavior.
There is a mismatch between what blockchains expose and what developers need.
