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. We chatted to Nikil Viswanathan, CEO & Co-founder about the platform, how it works and the problems it solves. We also addressed the concerns around centralization and ecosystem resiliency.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Nikil's background and how he got into crypto
  • The Blockchain infrastructure
  • Why Alchemy chose to focus Ethereum
  • On building developer tools, and what Alchemy offers
  • How it works on a technical level and how it’s different from what else is available on the market
  • What can users do with supernodes
  • Plans for expanding into validation and other services in the future
  • Concerns for user privacy
  • Adoption of Alchemy among crypto projects
  • Nikil’s views on centralization concerns and ecosystem resiliency
  • How Jay-Z become an investor/advisor and other interesting partnerships with Alchemy
  • Where to learn more and join Alchemy
