RedStone and Alchemy: the infrastructure behind the data. August 13, 2026 Table of contents. RedStone has partnered with Alchemy, choosing it as the preferred RPC provider for new chain deployments. Tl;dr. * RedStone chose Alchemy after testing its nodes against real feed requirements, with founder-level responsiveness during the evaluation * Alchemy is RedStone's preferred RPC provider for new chain deployments, and RedStone is migrating more of its existing infrastructure over * Preferred, not exclusive: Alchemy is the default, while RedStone keeps redundancy across other providers underneath * One escalation path replaces per-chain vendor context, so RedStone goes live on a new chain without re-running a provider evaluation * Alchemy's own numbers back it: a 99.999% success rate across 26.8M onchain price pushes that held while volume grew 27x Two layers of the same stack. Alchemy is one of the largest blockchain infrastructure providers, offering RPC and node access across 100+ chains. It's now RedStone's preferred RPC provider for new chain deployments, and RedStone is gradually migrating more of its existing feeds over too. For RedStone to push a price onchain, that update has to reach the network's nodes and be accepted into a block. In theory, RedStone could run those nodes itself, but that would be a full operation on its own. An RPC provider runs and maintains those nodes, reading the chain's state (balances, prices, contract data) and broadcasting new transactions out to the network. By using a reliable RPC provider like Alchemy, RedStone offloads the time, cost, and engineering effort of running node infrastructure across every chain, allowing RedStone to focus on the quality of the data itself. In February 2025, RedStone began running multiple price feeds on Alchemy's infrastructure. Since then, Alchemy has handled billions of requests across multiple chains at near-perfect reliability. Taking RPC infrastructure seriously. For most applications, a slow node means a slow page load. For a data provider, it means a stale price. RedStone is the data layer for more than 200 onchain applications. Lending markets and decentralized exchanges rely on its price feeds to value collateral and trigger liquidations for millions of users across more than 110 networks. That's why the RPC and node infrastructure are critical, because a price feed is only as reliable as the infrastructure that delivers it. Operating on multiple chains used to mean a separate RPC decision for every deployment. A different provider, a different integration, a different reliability profile, a different emergency contact to wake up if something broke. A reliable RPC provider makes new chain deployments easier but even the best infrastructure fails sometimes. A single provider, however reliable, is still a single point of failure. Even now, RedStone still runs redundancy across RPC providers with layers of failover. If the primary RPC provider degrades on a chain, the system falls back to another one and price updates keep landing. "Every major industry runs on the 'boring' infrastructure nobody wants to talk about. Finance moving onchain is no different, it will be built on layers most people never see, and it will only be as reliable as those layers are. We take the delivery layer as seriously as the data itself, and Alchemy has proven itself many times over since our first integration in 2025." Marcin Kaźmierczak, Co-Founder, RedStone Why RedStone Chose Alchemy Before committing to the partnership, RedStone tested Alchemy's nodes against its own feed requirements, checking latency and behavior under load, the conditions that decide whether a price push lands on time even when the network is busy. In the time since, Alchemy has carried 26.8 million onchain price pushes at a 99.999% success rate. Alchemy's chain roadmap carried weight too, since keeping pace with new launches was the problem RedStone needed solved. And when urgent questions came up during the evaluation, the answers came from the top. Making Alchemy the preferred RPC provider for new chain launches meant dealing with known infrastructure and a team that already knows and understands RedStone's architecture. When something does need attention, escalation runs through a single channel. A 99.999% success rate at launch doesn't really say much since low volume is easy to serve. But that rate held as monthly traffic climbed from 47.5 million requests to over a billion, a 27x increase. That shows RedStone that Alchemy can scale as its ecosystem continues to grow. Built for what institutions can't get wrong. As a strategic partner, Alchemy will also help RedStone expand its ecosystem and secure new integrations. RedStone provides pricing data for more than 200 applications across 110+ networks, with zero mispricing events to date. RedStone provide onchain NAV data for regulated funds issued by Securitize, including BlackRock's BUIDL, Apollo's ACRED, and Hamilton Lane's SCOPE. RedStone also deliver push and pull price feeds for protocols like Morpho, Spark, Pendle, and Ether.fi. A proven record and real production performance are what let the two teams work builder to builder, not just vendor to customer. "We're excited to support RedStone's mission with extensive chain coverage, reliability, and performance at scale. We're impressed by how high a bar they hold themselves to for data accuracy and liveness - making RedStone particularly well suited to institutions running tokenized products. As more financial products and processes deploy onchain, infrastructure is more important than ever." Guillaume Poncin, CTO @ Alchemy About redstone.

An RPC provider runs and maintains the nodes that sit between an application and a blockchain, reading the chain's state and broadcasting new transactions to the network. RedStone uses Alchemy's RPC infrastructure to push its price updates onchain across the chains it serves. Why does RedStone use Alchemy? RedStone made Alchemy its preferred RPC provider for new chain deployments after testing its nodes against RedStone's own feed requirements for latency and behavior under load. Alchemy's chain roadmap and responsiveness during the evaluation also factored in. RedStone is now migrating more of its existing infrastructure onto Alchemy as well. Is Alchemy RedStone's only RPC provider? No. Alchemy is the default for new chain deployments, but RedStone keeps redundancy across other RPC providers. If the primary provider degrades on a chain, the system falls back to another so price updates keep landing. Does RedStone run its own nodes at all, or fully rely on providers? RedStone doesn't operate the RPC and node infrastructure itself. Running nodes across every chain it serves would be a full operation on its own, so RedStone relies on providers like Alchemy for that layer and focuses its engineering on the data. It does keep multiple providers per chain rather than depending on any single one. Which RPC models does RedStone use, push or pull? Both. RedStone delivers price data in a pull model, where the price travels onchain attached to a user's transaction, and a push model, where RedStone's own relayers write the price onchain. The push model is where the RPC layer matters most, since RedStone is the one submitting the transaction. Does using Alchemy mean RedStone's price data depends on Alchemy? No. RedStone builds and signs every price update itself before it's broadcast. The RPC provider transmits the transaction to the chain but never touches the data or its signatures, so the integrity of the feed stays entirely with RedStone regardless of which provider carries it. What happens on chains where Alchemy doesn't perform well? Alchemy is preferred, not mandatory. RedStone monitors provider performance per chain, and where another provider is a better fit for a given network, RedStone routes through it. The setup is built to keep the best available path on each chain rather than force one provider everywhere.
Alchemy expands blockchain infrastructure for institutional finance. New services target tokenization and enterprise blockchain adoption. Reading Time: 3 mins read Alchemy has introduced a series of infrastructure upgrades and strategic network integrations aimed at strengthening its position as a provider of blockchain services for institutional finance and real-world asset applications. The latest developments include the launch of Validator-as-a-Service for the permissioned Canton network, an expanded operational role on the Stellar blockchain, and performance enhancements across its multi-chain infrastructure supporting more than 100 blockchain networks. The company's latest initiatives reflect a broader strategy to simplify blockchain adoption for financial institutions while improving the reliability and scalability of decentralized infrastructure. Alchemy has launched Validator-as-a-Service for the Canton network, allowing institutions to participate in tokenized financial markets without building and maintaining their own blockchain infrastructure. Canton integration simplifies institutional operations. The newly introduced Validator-as-a-Service offering manages the provisioning, operation, maintenance, and software upgrades of participant and validator nodes on the Canton network. In addition, the service handles network fee payments on behalf of clients, allowing institutions to pay fees in U.S. dollars while retaining full custody of their cryptographic keys. The solution is designed to support financial institutions engaging in transactions involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries, digital deposit tokens, and repurchase agreement settlements. By outsourcing blockchain infrastructure management, organizations can participate in permissioned blockchain networks without establishing dedicated operational teams. The Canton service is integrated into the same Alchemy dashboard already used to manage applications on Ethereum, Solana, Base, and other supported blockchain networks. Consolidating these services into a single management interface is intended to reduce operational complexity while minimizing challenges related to custody, balance sheet management, and blockchain tooling. If institutional adoption of tokenized financial products on Canton continues to grow, the managed validator service could provide Alchemy with a recurring source of enterprise revenue. Expanded role on Stellar network. Alchemy has also strengthened its involvement with the Stellar blockchain by becoming a tier-one validator, joining a limited group of organizations responsible for maintaining the network's stability, security, and continuous operation. The company pointed to Stellar's expanding real-world adoption, noting that the network currently supports approximately $2 billion in on-chain real-world assets while facilitating production payment services used by organizations such as MoneyGram and PayPal. In addition to its validator responsibilities, Alchemy has expanded its Stellar developer services by introducing three indexed application programming interfaces (APIs). These tools provide access to transfer histories, consolidated token balance information through a single request, and non-fungible token holdings spanning both traditional Stellar assets and Soroban-based assets. Alchemy has expanded its Stellar infrastructure by becoming a tier-one validator and introducing new indexed APIs that simplify blockchain data access for developers while reducing the need to operate independent indexing systems. These services complement the company's existing remote procedure call (RPC), WebSocket connectivity, and high-availability infrastructure, enabling developers to build applications with reduced operational overhead. Performance improvements across multi-chain infrastructure. Alongside the network expansions, Alchemy highlighted continued investment in infrastructure performance across its broader blockchain platform. The company said it has enhanced internal technologies, including Edge Proxy, Cortex proximity-based routing, and predictive scaling systems, to improve response times and maintain reliability during periods of heavy network demand. According to Alchemy, these technologies enable its infrastructure to process traffic spikes of up to 30,000 requests per second while ensuring blockchain nodes remain synchronized with network activity. The company also reported maintaining 99.99% uptime and average response times below 50 milliseconds across its supported blockchain ecosystem. The latest infrastructure upgrades are designed to improve scalability, reduce latency, and strengthen reliability across more than 100 blockchain networks, reinforcing Alchemy's focus on enterprise-grade blockchain services. Collectively, the week's announcements demonstrate Alchemy's continued emphasis on supporting institutional tokenization, real-world payment applications, and multi-chain blockchain infrastructure. By combining managed validator services, enhanced developer tools, and performance-focused engineering, the company is positioning its platform to support growing demand for enterprise blockchain applications across both permissioned and public networks.
