Up to 40% Cheaper Data APIs

As part of our mission to bring 1 billion users onchain, we're reducing Compute Unit costs for our NFT API, Token API and Transfers API starting today. 

You, our builder community, have given us useful feedback on pricing over the years. We've been listening closely and constantly working to make our services better and more affordable. We are on a mission to streamline web3 development and drive user adoption to the massive scale we know is possible. After months of intensive backend re-engineering, we're excited to deliver significant cost savings directly to you.

Accelerate development onchain, affordably.

We’ve fundamentally re-architected our real-time ingestion pipelines and data lake (which was no small feat), and we’re passing these hard-earned cost savings directly to you—our builder community. When it comes to building in web3, we believe you should have access to powerful API tools at a fraction of the cost of any other method of getting data. 

Build faster and cheaper with Data APIs

Whether you’re building a wallet, game, or DeFi platform — getting aggregated blockchain data is a pain. You might need:

• All NFTs from a collection
• Historical transactions for a user
• A wallet's full list of tokens

To get this data, you’ll need to scan all historical blocks, leaving you with 2 tedious and expensive options:

1. Direct RPC calls — make millions of individual requests and decode data yourself
2. Build your own indexer — spend $10K+ in monthly infra costs and pipeline maintenance

That’s where Data APIs come in. We turn the most common request patterns into simple APIs that are faster and cheaper than doing it yourself. Whatever data you need, we’ve already indexed it, so you can query for exactly what you need in a single request.

These methods are just a selection — view new Compute Unit (CU) Costs for 23 Data API methods to get started!

What you can build

Our Data API methods simplify the workflow for every development need. 

The power of a complete developer platform

Our Data APIs work seamlessly with other Alchemy products, from RPC to embedded wallets, allowing you to build a complete web3 solution under one roof. Whether you're launching a new chain or building a dapp, you can leverage our complete developer platform to accelerate your development.
