We're excited to announce that Aptos support is now live on Alchemy.

Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain built to become the global trading engine for the onchain economy. It combines parallel execution technology with strong uptime and predictable transaction costs—exactly what you need to build applications that can scale to millions of users.

Why Aptos Stands Out

  • Parallel Execution at 20,000+ TPS - Most blockchains process transactions one at a time. Aptos runs many transactions simultaneously through parallel execution, delivering over 20,000 transactions per second. Applications can handle real user volume without slowing down.

  • 99.9% Uptime - Aptos has maintained 99.9% uptime, which matters when you're building payments infrastructure, financial products, or consumer apps that people actually rely on.

  • Sub-Cent Transaction Costs - Fees on Aptos are typically a fraction of a cent, and they've stayed that way. Builders can design around microtransactions and high-frequency activity without worrying that gas costs will spike and break the user experience.

What People Are Building

  • DeFi and Trading: Low latency and parallel execution make it possible to run real-time markets and capital-efficient protocols that can actually compete with centralized exchanges.

  • Payments and Stablecoins: High throughput plus cheap transactions equals good infrastructure for payment rails, remittances, and merchant apps.

  • Real-World Assets: Institutions are using Aptos to bring traditional financial instruments onchain. The Aptos Move programming language provides strong safety guarantees around asset ownership and transactions.

  • Consumer Apps: Games, social platforms, and creator tools that need fast finality and the ability to handle lots of users.

What's Coming in 2026

Two big launches are happening on mainnet this year:

  • Shelby: Decentralized data infrastructure built by Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto. Think cloud-grade performance, but you control your data.

  • Decibel: A fully onchain decentralized trading engine with CEX-grade execution and unified margin. It's a core piece of the vision for Aptos to power real-time, transparent markets onchain.

Start Building

"We're excited to work with Alchemy because of their strong developer brand and widely trusted product suite," said Ash Pampati, SVP, head of ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. "There's clear alignment around reducing friction for developers who want to build safe, scalable, and high-performance applications on Aptos."

As Aptos' infrastructure partner, Alchemy provides:

  • 99.99% uptime with global redundancy

  • Full API suite including WebSockets, RPC API, and Debug API

  • Battle-tested infrastructure that processes over $150B in onchain transactions, with SOC 2 Type II certification

Aptos is now available on Alchemy with the same reliability and developer experience across all our supported networks. Whether building DeFi, payments, tokenizing assets, or creating consumer apps, developers have the infrastructure they need.
