In an announcement published by Alchemy just days after the Solana network was temporarily closed on June 1, the developer platform and infrastructure provider Web3 announced its support for the controversial blockchain.
Due to a bug that made it impossible to reach a consensus within the network, the Solana blockchain was closed for about four hours on Wednesday. This is not the first time the system has been compromised, as its normal functioning has been disrupted five times this year.
That does not seem to be a problem for Alchemy, which gives developers the ability to use their software and infrastructure in apps built by Solana. Now valued at $ 10.2 billion, the company is behind a Web3 API called Alchemy Supernode and a development suite used for monitoring and debugging called Alchemy Build.

This software has proven useful in the past when scaling and monitoring, with some of the company ‘s largest partners, including projects such as the OpenSea non – interchangeable signals market and the liquidity protocol Aave (AAVE).
Francesco Agosti, CTO and co – founder of Phantom, said his company was delighted with Alchemy’s Solana integration. “Their infrastructure and product suite have proven to work,” he said. “This will be a game changer for Phantom and any other Solana developers who choose to start using Alchemy.”

This new integration shows that despite recent outages and the price of Solana’s native SOL signal falling 85% from an all-time high, the blockchain seems to have lost developer confidence and remains a valuable resource for building effective Web3 applications.
