Alchemy history
2026-07-20 — AI/agent tooling and MCP/CLI/dev workflow support
- Snapshot status: all monitored pages are first-run
baseline; no true previous-day diff available.
- Sources checked: https://www.alchemy.com/, /pricing, /enterprise, /blog, blog pages
/usage-data-alchemy-cli, /alchemy-mcp-server, /setup-claude-code-with-alchemy. Fetched /customer-stories and docs chains URL returned 404.
- Positioning: "The complete blockchain developer platform"; homepage claims 150,000+ teams, 100+ blockchains, 99.99% uptime and 71% of top crypto apps.
- AI/agent signal: Blog lists
MCP for blockchain data: every Alchemy API in your AI assistant dated 2026-07-01. Extracted metadata claims 168 tools across 100+ chains with OAuth and no local install.
- CLI/dev workflow: Homepage/pricing banner promotes usage data in Alchemy CLI. Blog metadata says compute/cost usage can be queried from terminal and same data is available to AI agents through MCP.
- Claude workflow: Blog lists
Set up Claude Code with Alchemy in 60 seconds dated 2026-07-15; metadata says a coding agent gets live data across 100+ chains: prices, balances, NFTs, transfers and simulation.
- Pricing baseline: Free 25 RPS/30M CU monthly; PAYG from 300 RPS/as low as $0.40 per 1M CU; Enterprise from 1000 RPS.
- GetBlock implication: Alchemy is turning MCP + CLI + Claude into a full dev-rel content funnel; GetBlock should respond with tutorials and MCP/docs assets.
2026-07-21 — Solana / trading latency claims and low-latency infrastructure proof
- Snapshot status:
home and blog changed vs last run; pricing and enterprise unchanged; fetched docs_chains and /customer-stories still returned 404.
- Sources checked: https://www.alchemy.com/, /pricing, /enterprise, /blog, https://www.alchemy.com/solana, /blog/how-we-built-low-latency-rpc-infrastructure, /blog/how-we-fine-tune-our-rpc-for-speed-and-reliability.
- Content/release signal: Blog now lists
How we fine tune our RPC for speed and reliability dated 2026-07-20 and How we built low-latency RPC infrastructure dated 2026-07-06.
- General latency proof: Low-latency blog claims 99.99% uptime and sub-50ms average response times as baseline across 100+ chains, with Edge Proxy, aggregate reads up to 2.5x faster, predictive scaling and AI-managed node fleets.
- Solana proof: Solana page claims 10x faster heavy calls, staked connections for max speed/landing rate, 20x faster archival data, ultra-fast gRPC, 2x higher throughput, and 99.99% reliability.
- GetBlock implication: Alchemy is the strongest SEO/content threat for Solana RPC latency; GetBlock needs benchmark methodology pages and Solana-specific performance proof.
2026-07-22 — Dedicated node customization: regions, methods, binaries, archive/debug, private networking
- Snapshot status:
blog changed vs last run; home, pricing, enterprise unchanged; docs chains and customer-stories fetches still returned 404.
- Sources checked: https://www.alchemy.com/, /pricing, /enterprise, /blog, https://www.alchemy.com/dedicated-clusters.
- Dedicated Clusters: Public page says dedicated RPC + WebSocket infrastructure is built to customer specs, secured to standards and fully managed.
- Customization levers: custom tracers and binaries; specific regions beyond standard footprint; single-tenant isolation/no shared traffic; custom hardware configuration; hybrid Dedicated + Shared; managed upgrades/monitoring/redundancy/failover; optional failover to shared Alchemy RPC.
- Archive/debug/method signal: Use cases name simulation and
debug_trace-heavy workloads, unlimited getLogs ranges for chain scanning/backfills/custom indexing, and trading/DeFi deployments near sequencers/validators.
- GetBlock implication: Alchemy has the clearest public dedicated-node customization story; GetBlock needs a comparable customization matrix and objection card.
2026-07-23 — Enterprise security/compliance proof: SOC 2, ISO, SSO, RBAC, SLAs, support channels
- Snapshot status:
home and blog changed vs last run; pricing and enterprise unchanged; docs_chains and /customer-stories returned 404.
- Sources checked: https://www.alchemy.com/, /pricing, /enterprise, /blog.
- Security proof: Enterprise page says Alchemy offers SSO and KMS for authentication, TLS for request privacy, and partnerships with SOC II-certified cloud providers.
- Pricing controls: Pricing page lists IP/domain allowlisting, Google OAuth, SAML SSO, account activity logs, RBAC, advanced security, signed SLAs and increased
eth_getLogs() ranges for Enterprise.
- Support/SLA: Enterprise page promises 24/7 access to account team and engineers; pricing lists premium support packages and signed SLAs; home claims 99.99% uptime.
- Nuance: Captured public text verifies SOC II-certified cloud providers, not Alchemy’s own SOC 2 certificate; do not overclaim without a trust-center source.
- GetBlock implication: Alchemy is strong on dashboard/security controls (SSO/RBAC/logs/allowlists) and signed SLA packaging; GetBlock should expose equivalent controls in plan/pricing copy.
2026-09-15 — Ecosystem partnerships and startup programs
- Startup motion: Alchemy’s company navigation explicitly labels
Ventures — Startup program.
- Acquisition/migration signal: Blast API’s first-party deprecation notice says Blast was acquired by Alchemy and directs users to migrate traffic.
- Credit incentive: The same notice offers a 15% bonus when remaining Blast funds are converted to Alchemy Credits; Pay-as-you-go is required.
- GetBlock implication: Compete with a clearly specified startup offer and maintain a migration-credit playbook for acquired/deprecated provider users.
