Alchemy, the world’s leading blockchain developer platform, has today introduced Alchemy Supernode, the industry leading Ethereum API with supercharged reliability, data correctness, and scalability for running world-class applications on the blockchain.

Speaking on the introduction of Alchemy Supernode, Joe Lau, Cofounder and CTO of Alchemy said: “Scaling blockchain apps demands a totally new approach to infrastructure design. Alchemy's team brings decades of experience from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Palantir working on massively scalable, distributed systems. Our expertise in this area is why Alchemy Supernode exists, and what makes it so powerful for our customers.”

Alchemy Supernode is an infrastructure engine specially designed for Web 3.0. The blockchain-native architecture delivers maximum reliability by powering each piece of node functionality with dedicated, distributed infrastructure; in short, the same types of structures used by Facebook and Amazon for executing functions at massive scale.

Alchemy Supernode also ensures the data is always real-time, correct and synchronized across every corner of the system thanks to a proprietary coordinator service. This allows Alchemy Supernode to scale rapidly, fluently, and infinitely so developers never need to worry about maintaining infrastructure again. Like the rest of the Alchemy developer platform, it’s fast and simple to set up. There is no code or configuration required.

Alchemy Supernode’s users speak of the functionality, reliability and ease of use. Asaf Shachaf, Head of Product at Bancor said of the API: “Alchemy Supernode is our team's secret weapon. I used to worry about blockchain infrastructure daily, but Supernode works so well I haven't had to think about node infrastructure for over a year!”

Alchemy Supernode can eliminate unexpected crashes by ensuring data is always correct, real-time and in sync. The offering provides for peak reliability protected by highly available infrastructure. Alchemy Supernode is infinitely scalable in a swift and seamless manner. It allows customers to do more, faster, with an Alchemy Web3 extension of web3.js as well as Smart WebSockets that automatically handle reconnection and backfilling of missed events. Supernode is super speedy, allowing users to run their apps on Alchemy Supernode in 5 minutes or less.
