From instant global payments to DeFi liquidity rails, stablecoins are no longer theoretical. They move >$150B daily, and powering that is a new technology stack built for scale, speed, and resilience.
At @Alchemy weโve had the privilege to support the world's most forward-thinking stablecoin issuers.
โ @circle (USDC) leverages our infrastructure to enable 1:1 transfers of USDC across chains, similar to a bridge.
โ @Paxos (PYUSD) utilizes our advanced APIs to monitor asset transfers and display wallet holdings.
โ @ethena (USDe) builds on our endpoints to track stablecoin holders and award them points based on growing the ecosystem.
โ @usualmoney (USUAL) relied on our elastic scaling to power their massive airdrop, rewarding 200K+ early adopters.
As more institutions tokenize dollars, Treasuries, and equities onchain the need for secure, performant, and battle-tested infra becomes non-negotiable.
Are stablecoins poised to be the currency of the AI revolution?
@Alchemy CEO @nikil explains the use case for businesses and consumers, and how the "GENIUS " Act could spur broader adoption.

๐ UPDATE: @Alchemy now supports Smart Wallets on @solana ๐ฅ
If you were new to memecoins, you may have struggled with how to onramp USD to the Solana blockchain to trade $BONK, $GIGA, $GOAT or any other coin that 100x'd before you could blink.
With Smart Wallets we've removed the complexity of onboarding to the blockchain and enabled new users to:
๐ Leverage your email, passkey, or social login to create a wallet
๐ ๏ธ Enable applications to cover your transaction gas fees
๐งช Simplify the one-click transaction process via batching
Whether youโre in Web2 looking to easily onboard your users, or already a Web3 builder ready to level up your UX โ this is a serious unlock.
SOLANA SMART WALLETS ARE NOW IN BETA ๐ฃ๏ธ
โ Email and social login
โ Zero gas or rent fees for users
โ Sponsored and batched transactions
We're personally hopping on calls with the first 20 teams who integrate.
Get started below๐
On our new architecture ๐ฐ builders can expect -
โก๏ธ 20x faster latency on Solana
๐ Highest supported RPS in web3 (think Polymarket on Election Day)
๐ฅ 99.99% uptime guarantee
"Did you guys just get two times faster?"โก๏ธ- A builder asked us this after we quietly upgraded their infrastructure in May.
The performance leap was so dramatic they had to ask.
Here's what happened when we unleashed our latest engine on @townsapp ๐
@KYDNimale creating a seamless ticketing experience at @lprnyc ๐ account abstraction + gas sponsorship + Aptos worked flawlessly, couldnโt even tell this was onchain ๐
When @opensea launched their massive OS2 rebuild, our team worked through the night to ensure one thing:
FLAWLESS. SCALING.
The numbers are WILD:
๐ 5x throughput increase
๐ 27M+ requests processed
๐ 100% success rate
From 1x โ 5x traffic WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT
This is what happens when two teams CRUSH IT together. This is onchain history in the making ๐ฎ
Some startups have particularly strong "founder energy."
The whole team has a distinct sense of urgency - they ship fast + take extreme accountability (ex. @tryramp!)
But which companies mint the most new entrepreneurs? I ran the numbers ๐
Every startup was founded at a different time (with more/less time to spin out founders) - so I looked at the percentage of alums who have started something new.
On this metric, the top 20 late stage but pre-IPO U.S. startups are below. On average, 11% of their former employees become founders ๐คฏ
The group has heavy representation from crypto (@Consensys, @NEARProtocol, @AvaLabs, @Ripple, @Alchemy, @circle, @krakenfx) as well as fintech (@brexHQ, @Plaid, @tryramp, @deel)
...and, some AI companies already! (@OpenAI, @perplexity_ai, @AnthropicAI)
The group was rounded out by @NianticLabs, @anduriltech, @NotionHQ, @CloudKitchens, and @discord.
1/ Account Abstraction is a paradigm shift for web3 UX and security.
However, ERC4337 can be tough to understand with so many new terms.
This guide defines each term as we build a basic understanding of AA ๐
3 reasons to get excited about account abstraction ๐
1. You don't need a wallet or crypto to start interacting with web3 -> brands can setup a "wallet" for you in their native app experience and "sponsor" crypto payments on your behalf
2. Brands don't need to hold crypto -> brands can sponsor payments using USD and a service provider can pay their network fees in crypto
3. Increased security -> you can set transfer limits and whitelist recipient addresses, minimizing the attack vector for a malicious actor
๐ Excited to share more about AA and how @AlchemyPlatform is pushing web3 forward!
We're proud to power and collaborate with @Gucci for its latest NFT collection:
