Alchemy Acquires Solana Infrastructure Provider DexterLab to Advance Its Expansion Beyond Ethereum.
Background: Known as the "AWS of blockchain," Alchemy primarily offers development tools and infrastructure for Ethereum and EVM networks. DexterLab is a leading Solana infrastructure provider serving clients including Google, Chainstack, and the Solana Foundation.
Main Event: This acquisition will help Alchemy expand its enterprise-grade Solana services. Alexandru Minulescu, Alchemy's Head of Engineering, stated that the acquisition marks a significant milestone in Solana's development journey, with both parties aiming to accelerate ecosystem innovation through resource integration. DexterLab provides real-time data APIs and management services for the Solana mainnet, its SVM rollup, and sidechain ecosystems, addressing query latency issues caused by approximately 1 terabyte of data generated daily by the Solana Virtual Machine ecosystem.
Potential Impact: This acquisition reflects the rapid growth of the Solana ecosystem, especially benefiting from highly scalable consumer-grade applications like Pump.fun. Through this expansion, Alchemy further enriches its blockchain development platform's multi-chain support capabilities.
