Alchemy Web3 Development Platform

Alchemy is the leading blockchain development platform founded in 2017 by Nikil Viswanathan and Joseph Lau in San Francisco, valued at 10.2 billion dollars after raising over 500 million in venture funding. The platform processes more than one trillion dollars in annual transaction volume and serves over 100 million end users across more than 100 blockchain networks, powering applications for Visa, Stripe, Robinhood, Uniswap, OpenSea, Polymarket, and Chainlink. The Cortex intelligent engine delivers 13 times higher throughput than standard RPC providers with 99.99 percent uptime, handling over 3 billion monthly API requests. World Chain, the largest rollup on the platform, scaled to 23 million registered users with 47 million monthly operations using the Rollups service. Developers use the enhanced Node RPC API for real-time block-perfect data, Webhooks for event-driven push notifications, and the NFT API for querying ownership and metadata across Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Arbitrum. The Gasless feature has sponsored over one billion dollars in gasless transactions for end users. The platform recently launched an AI agent suite with a CLI tool and MCP server that enables Claude and ChatGPT to query onchain state, send transactions, and deploy smart contracts. Additional products include the Token API for real-time price feeds, the Transact API for mempool monitoring, and the Build modular stack for full node operation. Over 10 million developers have created accounts, and the platform maintains an extensive open-source SDK library with 4,000 plus GitHub repositories and partnerships with EigenLayer, Optimism, and Arbitrum.
