# Alchemy > Infrastructure that moves billions at scale Alchemy provides blockchain development infrastructure that simplifies building and scaling decentralized applications. Alchemy enables developers to build reliable blockchain applications through a comprehensive platform offering node infrastructure, enhanced APIs, and developer tools. The platform connects applications to blockchain networks with high reliability and performance, while reducing the complexity of managing blockchain infrastructure in-house. - Type: Company - Sector: Developer Tooling - Status: Active - Founded: 2013-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy ## Products - [Alchemy Supernode](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Implements blockchain node infrastructure through distributed systems architecture, providing JSON-RPC endpoints and enhanced APIs. The system ensures data consistency across multiple chains while offering features like NFT APIs, Token APIs, Transfer APIs, webhooks, and transaction simulation. (RPC Provider, Live, Main Product) - [Alchemy Subgraphs](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Implements decentralized data indexing through GraphQL APIs, enabling efficient blockchain data queries. The system provides hosted subgraph services with enhanced performance and reliability. (OnChain Data API, Live) - [Alchemy Rollups Infrastructure](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Implements rollup infrastructure through optimized node services, enabling Layer 2 blockchain deployment and management. The system supports multiple rollup architectures with integrated monitoring and scaling capabilities. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Alchemy Account Kit](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Implements account abstraction infrastructure through modular smart contracts and SDK components, enabling gasless transactions and social login. The system includes bundler services, gas sponsorship management, and signer integrations for seamless wallet experiences. (Custody Technology Provider, Live) - [Alchemy University](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Provides blockchain development education through structured courses and tutorials, enabling developers to learn Web3 technologies. The platform offers hands-on coding exercises and certification programs. (Education and Training, Live) - [Alchemy Skills](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alchemy): Alchemy Skills provides structured, machine-readable reference documentation paired with an agentic payment gateway enabling AI agents to autonomously access Alchemy's blockchain data APIs. Agents authenticate via onchain wallets and pay using either the x402 HTTP payment protocol for credit-based access or Circle Gateway Nanopayments for gas-free sub-cent transfers backed by batched offchain settlement. The gateway provides access to Core RPC, NFT, Portfolio, and Prices APIs across multiple chains, issuing HTTP 402 responses when agent balance is depleted to trigger automatic top-ups without human intervention.
