# Interact With The Node

## Connecting Polkadot JS

### 1. Open Polkadot UI App

You can use the [**Polkadot dashboard app**](http://sandbox.vera.financial/) which is deployed on our server to help interact with the Substrate node.

{% hint style="info" %}
The local node provides two RPC endpoints:

* HTTP: `http://127.0.0.1:9933`
* WS: `ws://127.0.0.1:9944`
  {% endhint %}

With Polkadot JS Apps connected, you will see our node producing blocks.
