Episode Notes

Alchemy is a powerful blockchain developer platform providing a suite of developer tools. Developers building apps which interact with Ethereum can use Alchemy's powerful APIs to supercharge their apps, and leverage features not available in vanilla nodes. They also provide services like analytics, monitoring, alerting, logging and debugging.

Today, a number of the top Dapps in the Ethereum ecosystem use Alchemy, and the company recently made their API available to the general public.
