I was not much aware of the developer API and turns out at some point of the time you stop being just a writer on sites and become the developer or someone who is involved with the industry. So Alchemy was one such accident for me. I turned to it for the API usage and making use of it for the project.
I am currently working on the project where I am creating the GST based invoices and for which I would be connecting to the blockchain and making sure to allow the payments with the crypto or the stablecoin. So that project with the help of the alchemy has started.
Alchemy here plays multiple roles: You can create a flow for account creation. You can also use it for the price API and get the prices with the alchemy API and not just that you can even simulate the transaction. So say you want me to create smart contract, transactions and other options you would be able to get that with the help of the alchemy as well.
I am personally using it in very limited time but it would teach me how to send the transaction with specific crypto and maybe even the stablecoin. I know using stablecoin would invite the SEC. I feel that the making use of those features with the blockchain makes this a modern app otherwise same features you would find with any other app out there with the invoices and the account apps.
If you are blockchain developer then Alchemy API can be cheaper and handy. I know I am using the free usage plan for account, smart contracts and the other similar small app usage. So I feel that a lot of usage things like NFT and the apps would be possible with the help of the Alchemy API. I have lot to explore with the help of the alchemy and the blockchains. Have you as a developer tried alchemy?
