Astar Network, a multi-chain application layer on Polkadot, announced today a partnership with Alchemy, a multi-chain application layer. As part of the tie-up, Astar will use Alchemy's APIs to provide powerful tooling on Polkadot.
The move will make it easier for developers to use Alchemy Supernode to create applications on the Astar Network, Polkadot s leading edge, and unleash a wave of web 3 creativity. As a result of the partnership, developers can use Alchemy's powerful APIs to create sophisticated apps that use features previously unavailable on Polkadot.
Alchemy Supernode, a criptosynode running onEthereum, is the most widely used Ethereum API with all the functions of a node, but with supercharged reliability, data correctness, and scalability. Astar is a supernode that connects Polkadot to all major Level 1Blockchains, with better monitoring and analytics provided by the supernode.
According to Astar Network founder and CEO Sota Watanabe, "Our collaboration with Alchemy will bring more incentives and innovation to the community, and that is one of the core values of Astar Network." Our collaboration will provide the resources needed to grow the builder community in web 3 on Astar, Polkadot, and beyond. Rob Boyle, head of product at Alchemy, said that the Alchemy infrastructure makes it easier for developers to build any dApp with infinite scalability, accuracy, and reliability. We are excited to join Astar to foster an era of better web 3 building that will power the applications of tomorrow. The Polkadot ecosystem is flourishing, with Web 3 Foundation recently revealing its grants program has supported over 400 projects. Of these, at least one team has completed a project and 300 have successfully delivered their first milestone. Many of the projects supported by the Polkadot-centric Web 3 Foundation are focused on user interface development, tooling, cryptography, smart contracts, and APIs.
Alchemy's powerful web 3 developer platform provides a wide range of tools to support builders while providing chain specific education and tutorials for communities, like Road to Web 3 and Web 3 University. Astar Network supports the creation of DApps with EVM and WASM smart contracts, while offering true cross-consensus messaging XCM Polkadot's innovation hub, Astar Network. It allows developers to get paid through a dApp staking mechanism for the code they write and dApps they build, with cross-consensus messaging XCM Astar's unique Build 2 Earn model. Astar allows developers to build dApps on Polkadot's leading tooling with the flexibility of all Ethereum and WASM toolings.
It provides infrastructure and developer tools for the industry, powering more than $100 billion in transactions for tens of millions of users in 99% of countries worldwide. Alchemy's mission is to bring web 3 to billions of people by making it easy for anyone to build onBlockchain.
