About us
To empower developers by providing the fundamental building blocks needed to build the future of technology.
Built as the blockchain infrastructure layer for the internet, Alchemy powers Web3 applications for companies like JPMorgan, Visa, and Stripe across 197 countries. The platform processes over $1 trillion in annual transactions through its proprietary Cortex engine, which delivers sub-50ms latency and 99.99% uptime. Rather than forcing developers to manage complex blockchain infrastructure, Alchemy provides APIs, SDKs, and data services that let teams focus on building products. The company serves everyone from crypto-native startups to Fortune 500 enterprises moving billions in volume, with infrastructure supporting over 100 million end users worldwide.
Products
The core platform offers Node RPC APIs for blockchain interaction, NFT APIs for token management, and rollup infrastructure for launching custom chains. Alchemy's Gas Manager API lets developers sponsor transaction fees for users, while its data indexing services provide real-time and historical blockchain analytics. Recent AI integrations include an agentic gateway using the x402 standard, which enables AI agents to autonomously purchase compute and access blockchain data. The platform supports over 100 blockchain networks and handles everything from payment systems to NFT marketplaces.
Funding
Alchemy has raised approximately $564 million across multiple rounds, reaching a $10.2 billion valuation by February 2022. The funding journey included a Series A led by Pantera Capital in 2019, an $80 million Series B led by Coatue and Addition in April 2021, and a $250 million Series C led by Andreessen Horowitz in October 2021. The most recent round was a $200 million investment led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Silver Lake. Investors include prominent VCs like a16z, Coatue, Addition, and Silver Lake.
Recent news
In May 2026, Alchemy launched 'agent wallets' within its CLI, enabling developers to create and grant time-bound, scoped access to AI agents for executing secure on-chain transactions. Earlier, in February 2026, the company introduced an autonomous infrastructure gateway using the x402 standard to allow AI agents to independently manage compute and data access. (Note: Alchemy is frequently confused with 'Alchemy Pay,' a distinct entity that recently expanded its U.S. regulatory footprint by obtaining a money transmitter license in Maine. Alchemy the developer platform is not the same entity as Alchemy Pay.)
Technology
Data infrastructure runs on Snowflake for analytics modeling with dbt handling transformations and rigorous testing. SQL expertise is essential, with the team exploring MCP integrations for conversational data access. The broader platform uses Java and Kubernetes on AWS, with Rust, Python, TypeScript, and Solidity for various development needs. Alchemy's proprietary Cortex engine powers the blockchain infrastructure, while tools like Axiom handle observability and PostgreSQL manages relational data.
Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision coverage are fully covered, along with 401(k), HSA, and FSA options. Flexible time off is unlimited, with additional wellness days and paid parental leave. The company provides gym reimbursements, home office build-out budgets, and in-office group meals. Mental health support and fertility benefits are included. Professional development gets a learning stipend plus company-sponsored conferences. Compensation includes competitive base salary, meaningful equity, and commuter benefits for office workers.
