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!

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 😉

Big fan of infrastructure that makes it easier to build. This is especially needed in the blockchain world. What's the most creative or unique use case you'v seen so far, @nikilster?

@rrhoover 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.

Anyone who has tried to develop a decentralized application will appreciate how difficult this can be. Great framework add!

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.

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.

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 Thanks Matt! You are the OG and we wouldn't be here without your early feedback and thoughts!
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 for the excitement! It's been incredible getting to work alongside you guys and seeing all the cool stuff you're building :)

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!
