RPC API (Powered by Cortex)

Industry-leading blockchain node infrastructure powered by Cortex, the world's first intelligent blockchain engine. Alchemy's RPC API enables developers to build and scale applications with unmatched performance and reliability across 80+ blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.

Core Performance

Cortex delivers 99.99% uptime, sub-50ms response times globally, and processes billions of transactions annually with 13x more throughput and 5x more reliability than traditional blockchain infrastructure. The intelligent engine continuously learns from trillions of global queries to optimize routing, caching, and execution.

Key Features

AI-Powered Smart Routing: Machine learning algorithms trained on global query patterns deliver 2.5x faster responses through intelligent request segmentation and contextual routing

Unlimited Elastic Throughput: Purpose-built bare-metal hardware and dark fiber connections provide automatic elastic scaling with throughput far beyond industry standards

Global Availability: Multi-region infrastructure with autonomous failovers and AI-based threat detection ensures apps stay performant under extreme conditions

Unlimited Range getLogs: Scan entire blockchains for events 265x faster in a single request through optimized indexing

Block-Perfect Consistency: Proprietary data synchronization eliminates inconsistent data errors for seamless user experiences

Shuffle Sharding: Deterministic micro-fleet per tenant ensures neighboring users' performance spikes never impact your application

Use Cases

Powers mission-critical applications for stablecoins, tokenization, real-world assets (RWAs), DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, prediction markets, and enterprise blockchain deployments. Trusted by Visa, Stripe, Robinhood, Circle, JPMorgan, Polymarket ($15.5B+ trading volume), World Chain, Uniswap, and Chainlink. Processes over $150 billion in transactions annually serving 100+ million end users.

Developer Experience

Simple API integration with comprehensive documentation, SDKs for all major languages, real-time debugging tools, and 24/7/365 support. Live performance benchmarks available publicly with sub-50ms global response times and 99.99% uptime guarantees.
