Changelog

Stay in touch with new updates and improvements in the Alchemy ecosystem.

Upcoming deprecations

  • Degen Mainnet (degen-mainnet) — Alchemy support ends on August 31, 2026. The Degen team is sunsetting Degen Chain to focus on social products within the Base ecosystem. Bridge any assets off degen-mainnet before the cutoff. See the Degen Mainnet Deprecation Notice.

Smart Accounts

  • SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 is now deployed on all supported networks and available in the aa-sdk. This version adds a fallback signature path so signatures from the underlying EOA are accepted alongside the account's default signer.
  • SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 is now the default delegation used when creating new 7702 accounts via the Wallet APIs. Existing on-chain delegations keep their current version and are not upgraded in place unless a new version is explicitly requested at deploy time.

Gas Manager

  • Added a step-by-step guide for paying gas with any ERC-20 token, covering how to price the token, configure the ERC-20 policy on the paymaster, and submit sponsored transactions from your app.

Admin API

  • App and chain management endpoints are now documented in the Admin API reference. You can programmatically create, update, and delete Alchemy apps, manage each app's network, origin, and IP allowlists, and list supported chains — everything the Alchemy Dashboard lets you do, callable from your own tooling with an access key. See the Admin API Quickstart for a full end-to-end example.

NFT API endpoint deprecation notice

To streamline and improve the NFT API, Alchemy is sunsetting a small set of redundant endpoints — both their V2 and V3 versions — on September 30, 2026. Most have a direct V3 replacement already available. Until then, these endpoints continue to serve traffic; existing callers should migrate before the shutdown.

Being removed on Sept 30, 2026If you still need it, use instead
getCollectionsForOwner (V2 + V3)V3 getContractsForOwner
getCollectionMetadata (V2 + V3)V3 getContractMetadata
isHolderOfCollection (V2), isHolderOfContract (V3)V3 getNFTsForOwner
getSpamContracts (V2 + V3)V3 isSpamContract. Spam flags are also returned inline on V3 getNFTsForOwner / getNFTsForContract.
searchContractMetadata (V2 + V3)V3 getContractMetadata
summarizeNftAttributes (V2), summarizeNFTAttributes (V3)Aggregate collection traits via V3 getNFTsForContract
computeRarity (V2 + V3)Aggregate collection traits via V3 getNFTsForContract
invalidateContract (V2 + V3)No action needed; V3 refreshNftMetadata remains available
isAirdrop (V2), isAirdropNFT (V3)No direct replacement. Reach out to Alchemy support for guidance.
getNFTSales (V2 + V3)No direct replacement. Reach out to Alchemy support for guidance.

See the NFT API Endpoints overview for the current supported list.

Solana

  • Improved Solana paymaster transaction submission reliability by no longer pinning sendTransaction to the paymaster's simulation slot.
  • Added an opt-in rollout for rent-prefund simulation against confirmed Solana state, reducing failures caused by stale account data.
  • Clarified alchemy_requestFeePayer guidance: simulationSlot is intended for paymaster simulation only and should not be reused when submitting the transaction, helping integrators avoid stale-state failures.

Dashboard

  • API key rotation is now generally available in the Alchemy Dashboard. Rotate an existing app's API key from App Settings without changing the app itself — settings, history, and usage data are preserved, and the previous key stops working within 2 minutes. See How to Rotate API Keys for the full walkthrough.

Wallet APIs

  • Wallet API responses now surface a clear message when a request is rate-limited because the underlying contract or account is delinquent, so you can identify the cause directly from the response.
  • User operation status lookups now reflect more recent activity, thanks to a reduced internal time buffer when checking on-chain state.
  • Robinhood Mainnet is now on the eth_getLogs unlimited block-range list, removing the default range limit for event and log queries.

Upgrades

Solana

  • Resolved an edge case in alchemy_requestFeePayer where unusual instruction data could cause an error during transaction parsing.

Upcoming deprecations

  • Botanix Mainnet and Testnet (botanix-mainnet, botanix-testnet) — Alchemy support ends on August 1, 2026. The Botanix team is shutting down both networks. See the Botanix Deprecation Notice.
  • Polygon PoS Erigon client — Polygon Labs is sunsetting the Erigon client on Polygon PoS on August 1, 2026. Alchemy is migrating Polygon Mainnet and Amoy from Erigon to Bor. After this date, the entire erigon_* namespace along with trace_filter, trace_get, and trace_rawTransaction will no longer be available on polygon-mainnet or polygon-amoy, and Bor supports eth_getProof only for the latest 128 blocks. The remaining trace_* methods (trace_block, trace_transaction, trace_call, trace_callMany, trace_replayTransaction, trace_replayBlockTransactions) will continue to be available, served by Bor. See the Polygon PoS Erigon Client Deprecation Notice for the full migration guide.

Wallet APIs

  • wallet_sendPreparedCalls now returns a clear validation error when a call's data field is empty, instead of failing unexpectedly.
  • ERC-20 balance read failures now return a structured validation error instead of a raw contract error, making sponsorship rejections easier to diagnose.
  • The Solana paymaster now returns a clear validation error when a fee-payer transaction contains no accounts, instead of an internal error.

Alchemy CLI

  • The Alchemy CLI lets you manage your Alchemy resources from the command line, including querying your compute unit usage across summary and time-series endpoints with the new Usage API. See the CLI usage docs.
