Alchemy has introduced infrastructure upgrades and network integrations to strengthen its blockchain services for institutional finance and real-world asset applications. The developments include launching Validator-as-a-Service for the Canton network, expanding its operational role on Stellar blockchain, and implementing performance enhancements across infrastructure supporting more than 100 blockchain networks. The initiatives aim to simplify blockchain adoption for financial institutions while improving reliability and scalability of decentralized infrastructure.
Alchemy Launches Validator-as-a-Service for Canton Network
Alchemy has launched Validator-as-a-Service for the Canton network, allowing institutions to participate in tokenized financial markets without building and maintaining their own blockchain infrastructure. The service manages provisioning, operation, maintenance, and software upgrades of participant and validator nodes on the Canton network.
The service handles network fee payments on behalf of clients, allowing institutions to pay fees in U.S. dollars while retaining full custody of their cryptographic keys. The solution is designed to support financial institutions engaging in transactions involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries, digital deposit tokens, and repurchase agreement settlements.
The Canton service is integrated into the Alchemy dashboard used to manage applications on Ethereum, Solana, Base, and other supported blockchain networks. The consolidation into a single management interface is intended to reduce operational complexity while minimizing challenges related to custody, balance sheet management, and blockchain tooling.
Alchemy Becomes Tier-One Validator on Stellar Blockchain
Alchemy has strengthened its involvement with the Stellar blockchain by becoming a tier-one validator, joining a limited group of organizations responsible for maintaining the network's stability, security, and continuous operation. The network currently supports approximately $2 billion in on-chain real-world assets while facilitating production payment services used by organizations such as MoneyGram and PayPal.
Alchemy has expanded its Stellar developer services by introducing three indexed application programming interfaces (APIs). These tools provide access to transfer histories, consolidated token balance information through a single request, and non-fungible token holdings spanning both traditional Stellar assets and Soroban-based assets.
The services complement the company's existing remote procedure call (RPC), WebSocket connectivity, and high-availability infrastructure. According to Alchemy, the infrastructure maintains 99.99% uptime and the same API key functionality across all supported chains.
Alchemy Enhances Infrastructure Performance Across 100+ Networks
Alchemy has enhanced internal technologies, including Edge Proxy, Cortex proximity-based routing, and predictive scaling systems, to improve response times and maintain reliability during periods of heavy network demand. According to Alchemy, these technologies enable its infrastructure to process traffic spikes of up to 30,000 requests per second while ensuring blockchain nodes remain synchronized with network activity.
The company reported maintaining 99.99% uptime and average response times below 50 milliseconds across its supported blockchain ecosystem. The infrastructure upgrades are designed to improve scalability, reduce latency, and strengthen reliability across more than 100 blockchain networks.
