Founded less than two years ago by Nikil Viswanathan and Joe Lau, the company creates tools that allow companies to easily interact with blockchains but also hosts nodes and so on. The initial product suite focused on Ethereum but today it also offers other blockchains like Polygon and flow. When announcing the latest funding news, Alchemy said that the number of teams that use the services increased dramatically and that the value of the on-chain transactions powered increased from $45 billion to $105 billion. Alchemy’s customers include big-name companies like OpenSea and Coinbase but also investment banks and more which cannot be publicly identified.

The founders seem to be taking the growth in stride and the founders said they remain focused on customer service and expanding their team. In the meantime, they said that the startup has been profitable and that it doesn’t need to touch the amounts of capital that it raised. So far, Alchemy excelled at avoiding the turmoil for startups, and something like a controversy aroused in January but when the Signal Founder Moxie Marlingspike mentioned it, things turned out even worse. Viswanathan rejected all allegations:

“I understand he’s coming into Web3, and exploring. He got a lot of things wrong. The thing he doesn’t understand about Web3 infrastructure is we don’t shut off data.”
