Astar Welcomes Alchemy to the Polkadot Ecosystem
Today we begin an important partnership with Alchemy and welcome them to the Polkadot ecosystem. Alchemy is a powerful blockchain platform that supports builders in our ecosystem, providing reliable infrastructure and developer tooling that will advance dApp development on Astar Network.
“Alchemy infrastructure makes it easier for developers to build any dApp with infinite scalability, consistency, and reliability,” said Rob Boyle, Product at Alchemy. “We’re thrilled to combine forces with Astar to foster the importance of building for today and tomorrow, marks a significant milestone for both companies, and especially the community.”

Web3 Development Made Easy with Alchemy Platform
In addition to providing sophisticated Web3 API with node functionality and a comprehensive platform of products, Alchemy maintains a chain agnostic platform that appeals to developers from a wide range of networks. Already supporting L1 Ethereum and L2 chains including Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism means solidity developers can now leverage Astar Network on their dApps. Plus, Alchemy successfully supports non-EVM chains, including Solana and Flow, demonstrating that they are ready to bring innovation to both EVM and WASM developers on Astar.
Alchemy products enrich the developers’ experience of building infinitely scalable dApps on Astar Network; now builders have access to:
- Alchemy Supernode, their flagship product saves precious time by providing the most reliable infrastructure and connection to blockchain — so builders can spend more time building Web3 and less time managing backend tooling.
- Alchemy’s Explorer and Mempool Visualizer help builders quickly find bugs, optimize dApp performance, and identify delayed, stuck, or dropped transactions with real-time analytics.
- Alchemy SDK offers the easiest way to connect a dApp to the blockchain, with just two lines of code.
- Alchemy Notify provides webhook access to alert users about every type of event, including address activity, mined transactions, and dropped transactions.
By making dApp development fast and easy for builders, Alchemy’s suite of products reinforces Astar Network as the place to build the future of smart contracts for multichain.
Our Shared Commitment to Builders
We partnered with Alchemy because they tackle the difficult parts of building on a blockchain with the most reliable, scalable, and accurate infrastructure. On top of making development exponentially better, Alchemy maintains a steadfast commitment to builders, investing in education with Web3U and The Road to Web3 — and early-stage funding with Alchemy Ventures. Most recently, Alchemy launched the WAGBI Grants, a $25M commitment to support start-ups that are building in Web3.
In the same vein, Astar supports blockchain developers through Astar SpaceLabs Program, AWS Activate, and our #Build2Earn program–builders get paid for the code they write and have access to tier 1 VC funding. Since Astar Network is fully-compatible with EVM and is connected to the Polkadot Relay Chain, our developers also enjoy the convenience of EVM while having access to the exciting Polkadot ecosystem and groundbreaking WASM smart contracts. We share Alchemy’s commitment to building for builders.
“Supporting the developer ecosystem is Astar’s driving motivation. By partnering with Alchemy and making their blockchain engine available to Astar developers, we will bring even more innovation and growth to the builder community, ” said Sota Watanabe, founder and CEO of Astar Network.
Building Astar Network Together with Alchemy
Alchemy is ready to expand the Astar builders ecosystem. Other chains have witnessed exponential growth after leveraging Alchemy to build their network–a 95x increase in on-chain apps on Polygon since Alchemy began supporting developers. By working hand-in-hand with Alchemy, we have first-rate tools, support, and programs needed to accelerate the growth of dApp development and attract builders to Astar Network.
