SO many cool use case - that's probably the best part about working in blockchain.
Ranges from teams changing the way we play games like Dapper Labs (makers of CryptoKitties) to ones that are building the next generation of privacy tools and VPNs like Orchid.
I'm personally most excited about the companies we power in 'Decentralized Finance' or 'DeFi' - like Maker, Aave, and dYdX - these teams are literally transforming entire financial systems.
Feels like we're watching the promises of blockchain play out in real time
@rrhoover @nikilster
So many cool products, especially around open, transparent financial infrastructure! They have the potential to revolutionize our daily lives and democratize the financial system.
It's still early days though, and the most exciting thing is we can't even imagine what will be built a few years from now. During the early days of the internet around '95, we could've never imagined how much the internet has changed our lives. Can't wait to see how blockchain plays out.
We've been using Alchemy's developer platform for all our work on Ethereum for the past two years – from CryptoKitties (7.5m+ on-chain tx, top blockchain game and among the most popular dapps) to Dapper wallet (most popular smart contract wallet on Ethereum) – and always impressed with the team's diligence, depth of commitment, and technical chops. Excited for everyone to benefit now that they're live!
@rohamg Thanks so much Roham! Been a blast supporting your team and consistently impressed by the awesome products you guys build!
Congrats this is super cool! Have heard great things from a bunch of blockchain teams. Any plans to do a no code version?
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
We’ve been working night and day for the last 2+ years to build Alchemy. Super excited to share this with you!
Blockchain development is hard. By closely working with hundreds of users in the beta, we built a platform to make blockchain development easy.
A couple quick stats. In private beta, Alchemy currently powers:
$7.5B on-chain transaction volume
70% of top Ethereum applications
Millions of end users in 197 countries
50%+ of DeFi
SO excited to officially open up the platform to everyone today!
And when we say we’re launching, we’re not messing around. We’re officially live with the an expansive free tier (including often-expensive features like Full Archive Data) along with direct, self-serve access our entire platform:
Alchemy Supernode - The industry-leading Ethereum API
Alchemy Build - Powerful developer tools
Alchemy Monitor - All-in-one dashboard
Alchemy Notify - Real-time push notification
We publicly-listed Alchemy here first for you, so please ask questions and send feedback.
Our entire team will be here answering questions all day. We’d love to know what you think of the signup flow, user onboarding, and product features!
Happy Building!
Hey everybody!
We’re super excited to be launching this today! We believe developers and creators are what ultimately drive real-world positive impact for any new technology, and the adoption of blockchain technology is no different.
Many teams in blockchain have ambitious and exciting long-term goals, like providing open and transparent financial infrastructure. But because the space is early, developers don’t yet have the tools to build what they want. People want to build skyscrapers, but they're trying to do it with shovels and hammers right now.
Our mission is to give blockchain developers the infrastructure and developer tools that they need to build great products. We’ve spent the last 2+ years in closed beta building a platform that powers the top teams in blockchain, and we’re launching publicly today so that every single developer can have access to those same tools.
Empowering creators is the first step in creating innovation and impact. We can’t wait to see what you all build!
We’ll be around today - would love to hear from you and we always appreciate feedback!
Congrats to the Alchemy team on their launch! We've been using Alchemy for the Cryptopunks because it became too expensive and time intensive to run our own node (I think we might have been the first user on the platform?). They've been super helpful and responsive, highly recommended.
@matthall2000 the legend!!! Literally user number #1 for us. Working on a statue of you in our office. So grateful for you! Thanks for the kind words! 🙏🙌
@matthall2000 Thanks Matt! You are the OG and we wouldn't be here without your early feedback and thoughts!
I've been a blockchain skeptic in the past because every project focused too much on cultish philosophy rather than delivering utility. Alchemy is special because its sole focus lett delivers harness the opportunities of blockchain without having to become crypto experts or fanatics.
@joshconstine Thanks so much for the kind words Josh! We really appreciate all your help and guidance over the years! And it's been a blast getting to tell our story with you!
If you've played CryptoKitties in the past year then you've already used Alchemy. Their platform powers all of our ETH services at Dapper Labs, and the ongoing support from their engineers has been unbelievable!
@petersiemens Thanks Peter! We're huge fans of you guys and super excited to see the products you guys are shipping! Grateful to play a part!
Looks super interesting. It would be cool to think about how you could integrate with Thunkable ✕ to provide a no-code solution for blockchain developers
Alchemy has been great for us at Dharma. They are one of our core infrastructure providers and enable our team to build better products faster. And also they will literally wake up in the middle of the night to answer support questions. Hilarious and awesome.
@bpforster24 Thanks for the kind words Brendan! We're so excited for what you guys are working on and pumped to be able to play a small part :)
At Bamboo Relay we have been using Alchemy now for almost 2 years to power our Ethereum infrastructure.
It has saved us countless hours in down time, and engineering costs. As well as being rock solid compared to any other solution on the market!
We look forward to powering ahead with Alchemy and excited to see what the next two years bring!
Been using Alechmy for the last year for my company Fuse.io - been amazing so far, definitely as the space matures we need more robust API and companies that are building infrastructure that is next level to bring new masses and scale crypto.
Alchemy is real gold for blockchain projects. Initial setup was a breeze. There have been no major issues and the support team is very prompt in replies.
Reliable and a big time saver. I would highly recommend this.
We've been using Alchemy to power DappHero.io which in turn powers Blockchain enabled websites from around the globe! It's an invaluable tool and an absolute must have for anyone building in the blockchain space!
@dennison_bertram1 Thanks so much Dennison! We're huge fans of DAppHero - no code is definitely the future! 🙌
Also I love my Dennison poster in my room 😉
I've been using alchemy for over a year now, and it has been a stellar experience through and through. The product is incredible from a technical perspective, and saves us so much time not worrying about Ethereum infrastructure, and the customer service is unmatched. They are incredibly friendly, and quick to respond with any issues or questions we have. Very very highly recommended for anyone working with Ethereum applications who needs a performant and reliable connection to the network.
@henry_harder1 Thanks so much for the kind words Henry!! We're super grateful to get to support your awesome work! 🙌
Alchemy is building a strong cornerstone of the blockchain infrastructure space. They've been a great team to interact with, and their product has been completely reliable for us over the past year.
@cybourgeoisie Thanks so much Ben!! Been a pleasure to work with you guys! 🙏
@cybourgeoisie Thanks Ben! Been great working with you guys and excited about what you're building! :)
Been using Alchemy for a few months as part of a secure transaction relay solution we are rolling out. Works like a charm, and includes some really awesome analytics dashboards out of the box!
@spalladino Woo hoo! Thanks Santiago! We're huge fans and you guys are building awesome stuff. Glad we're able to be helpful!
Highly recommended. At ShapeShift, we've used Alchemy to integrate a new blockchain platform more seamlessly with all aspects of web3. At every turn their team has proven to be knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible - exactly the qualities we were looking for in a dev platform provider. I'm looking forward to seeing how this suite of tools evolves in tandem with the insanely-fast-paced DApp development space!
@kent_shapeshift Thanks so much Kent! You guys are pushing the envelope at ShapeShift and we're excited to be able to play a part!
