September 17, 2026

Wallet APIs

  • Added support for Arc Mainnet across the Wallet APIs stack, including the bundler (Rundler) and Paymaster. You can now create smart accounts, sponsor gas, and send user operations on Arc alongside every other supported network.
  • Enabled EIP-7702 on ApeChain Mainnet. Wallet APIs and the bundler now support 7702 smart accounts on ApeChain.
  • The @alchemy/wallet-apis SDK now recognizes the SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 delegate address (0x77021100bD87b7008E5E1989d0eB38555d0d0000). New 7702 accounts created through Wallet APIs default to v1.1.0; existing v1.0.0 accounts keep their current delegate. See choosing your delegation version.

Networks

  • Arc Mainnet is live on Alchemy with full RPC coverage across all Alchemy Node APIs.

September 10, 2026

Wallet APIs

  • Fixed a bug in ERC-20 gas sponsorship where tokens with many decimal places could have sponsorship incorrectly rejected.

Paymaster

  • Added a new option to allow getting paymaster stub data for ERC-20 sponsored transactions where the sender acquires the ERC-20 payment token in the same transaction.

Rundler

  • Improved error classification on Arbitrum Nitro chains, so wrapped sequencer rate limits and underpriced errors are handled correctly.

Upgrades

  • Arc Mainnet: Arc Execution 0.8.0, arc-execution 0.8.0, arc-consensus 0.8.0, initGenesis d9e853e87e55526f6b2917df91a2115c36dd7c696a35be12163d44e6e2a4b6bc

Upgrades

August 27, 2026

Wallet APIs

  • SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 is now supported on all networks. New v1.1.0 delegations can be requested on any supported network without a per-network opt-in.
  • Improved the error returned when attempting to use EIP-7702 on Monad. Requests where 7702 is disabled now surface a clear, actionable error instead of an opaque failure.

Solana

  • Added support for pre-funding rent during composed account creation. Gas sponsorship now correctly funds rent for accounts created via Transfer + Allocate + Assign flows (for example, associated token accounts, Anchor init, and Metaplex), so these sponsored user operations no longer fail preflight.

Rundler

  • Various improvements to Rundler retry logic to make bundle submission more resilient under transient upstream errors.

Usage API

  • The Usage API is now generally available under the Admin API. You can pull Alchemy usage data programmatically, without the dashboard or CLI:
    • GET /v1/usage/summary returns current billing-period totals plus rolling 7-day, 30-day, and month-to-date usage in compute units and USD, along with usage cap status and headroom.
    • POST /v1/usage/time-series returns usage in hourly or daily buckets, filterable by product, app, network, and method, and groupable by any one of them.

Upgrades

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.

Wallet APIs: EIP-7702 default changes September 21

Beginning September 21, 2026, new EIP-7702 accounts created through wallet_prepareCalls or wallet_requestAccount will delegate to SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 by default on every supported network. Existing accounts are unaffected: they keep their recorded delegate and do not need to sign a new authorization.

If your application validates or recognizes accounts by delegate address or accountId(), add v1.1.0 to the accepted set before the rollout. Both versions remain supported, so accept both rather than replacing v1.0.0. You can opt in to v1.1.0 now or explicitly keep new accounts on v1.0.0.

Smart Accounts

  • SemiModularAccount7702 v1.1.0 is now deployed on all supported networks and available in the aa-sdk. It adds support for standard EOA signatures through ERC-1271, improving compatibility with Permit2 and similar applications without introducing a new signer or authority path. The release was audited by Octane.
  • Starting September 21, v1.1.0 will be the default delegation for new EIP-7702 accounts created through Wallet APIs. Existing accounts keep their recorded version unless another version is explicitly requested.
VersionDelegate addressaccountId()

v1.1.00x77021100bD87b7008E5E1989d0eB38555d0d0000alchemy.sma-7702.1.1.0

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.
