Introducing Cortex
The world's first intelligent blockchain engine.
Your apps are now 2.5x faster, 5x more reliable, 500x more throughput.
Powering $150+ billion in transactions annually for 100+ million humans
The world’s first
Intelligent blockchain engine
Cortex is the new engine that powers our full developer platform. Your apps are now 2.5x faster, 5x more reliable, with 500x more throughput.
It enables advanced developer capabilities by leveraging global orchestration, AI sub-systems, and purpose-built hardware to deliver unmatched performance at scale and a higher bar for global reliability.
Architected from the ground up over the last 2 years, Cortex was trained on data from 7 years powering hundreds of billions in transactions for the top crypto companies worldwide.

Intelligent infrastructure, unmatched performance
Build the fastest and most reliable apps—stablecoins, tokenization, real-world assets, and more.
Contextual smart routing
Smart routing algorithms trained on trillions of global queries and intelligent request segmentation to deliver up to 2.5x faster queries, all around the world.
Unlimited elastic throughput
Purpose-built bare-metal hardware, dark fiber connections, and elastic scaling deliver throughput far beyond industry standards so you never run out of capacity on launch day.
Global availability
Multi-region infrastructure, autonomous failovers, and AI-based threat detection so your apps stay performant even under extreme conditions.
Brand new capabilities for a new crypto era
Cortex’s intelligent infrastructure enables developers to build apps that were never possible before.
Unlimited range getLogs
Scans the whole chain for your events 265x faster, in a single request.
Block-perfect consistency
No more jarring errors for your users due to inconsistent data.
Zero connections dropped
Never risk missed events or inaccurate data when using smart websockets.
Smart contextual routing
Intelligent routing in every situation, ensuring optimal performance and reliability across different geographical regions.
Agentic node management
Using AI systems to continuously expand support to new blockchains.
Fast Solana archive
Blazingly fast archival access at high throughput, delivering 30-50K RPS for getSignatures via purpose-built hardware clusters.
Smart indexing
Multi-chain APIs and federated data endpoints to query data across all EVM chains and Solana in a single request.
Autonomous failovers
Automated failovers to alternative deployments at machine-speed upon disruption.
Optimized block discovery
Predictive peer selection and quorum building to detect new blocks before any other solution.
EVM boosted writes
Virtual mempool, sticky nonce router, gas escalator, and optional bundle relay for optimized blockchain transactions.
Shuffle sharding
Deterministic micro-fleet per tenant ensuring that performance spikes from neighboring users never impact you.
Transaction lifecycle toolkit
Simulate, send, mempool stream, confirm, and archive transactions from a single dashboard/API.

Don’t just take it from us
Here's what the community is saying.
For our users, staying at the tip of the chain is critical. @Alchemy's new global infrastructure delivered blocks up to 35% faster than other providers during peak load, making it an vital part of Ormi’s stack.
Did you notice? Our dApp now now loads faster than ever: APYs, positions... all there instantly.
"Monitoring the situation" has never been that easy. Hard work with @Alchemy made this 2x faster thanks to their new infra, because waiting 2 seconds felt very...TradFi
