Alchemy Infrastructure — Our Primary RPC and Developer Tool Provider

Why Alchemy for Production Applications

Reliability:

Alchemy serves 70%+ of the world's largest Web3 applications. Their infrastructure has maintained 99.99%+ uptime across multiple Ethereum upgrades. For applications where downtime costs money (DeFi, exchanges, payment systems): infrastructure provider reliability matters more than cost per call.

Beyond basic RPC:

Alchemy provides specialized APIs that would take months to build internally: `alchemy_getAssetTransfers` — Efficient query for all token transfers to/from an address, `alchemy_getTokenBalances` — Get all ERC-20 token balances for a wallet in one call, `alchemy_getNFTs` — Get all NFTs owned by a wallet with metadata, `alchemy_simulateExecution` — Simulate a transaction before sending.

Our Standard Alchemy Integration

import { Alchemy, Network } from 'alchemy-sdk';

const config = {
    apiKey: process.env.ALCHEMY_API_KEY,
    network: Network.ETH_MAINNET,
    maxRetries: 3,
    batchRequests: true,
};

const alchemy = new Alchemy(config);

// Multi-chain configuration
const chains = {
    ethereum: new Alchemy({ ...config, network: Network.ETH_MAINNET }),
    arbitrum: new Alchemy({ ...config, network: Network.ARB_MAINNET }),
    polygon:  new Alchemy({ ...config, network: Network.MATIC_MAINNET }),
    base:     new Alchemy({ ...config, network: Network.BASE_MAINNET }),
};
