Connext Teams Up With Alchemy To Enable A Multichain Ethereum Ecosystem.
Crosschain liquidity network Connext chooses Alchemy to empower their infrastructure as Connext aims to scale their user base and grow their network ecosystem after a recent funding round.
After a recent funding round of $12m co-led by ConsenSys Mesh and 1kx, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, OkEx Ventures, eGirl Capital, Hashed, Polygon’s Sandeep Nailwal, Optimism’s Jinglan Wan, and others, Connext is primed to be the leading protocol for fast transfers and contract calls between EVM-compatible systems. Connext enables cross chain swapping in as little as five minutes. Their recent round will be used to continue building up their rockstar team and scaling up their liquidity network, including their node infrastructure, ensuring a smooth and stable user experience as user-demand increases.
As the leader for node infrastructure for both the Ethereum and L2 ecosystem, Alchemy is proud to be able to support companies like Connext. By working closely with their team, Alchemy is able to help Connext focus on building a pleasant user-experience through a robust, fast, and scalable node solution.
“Connext’s dedication to making a multichain ethereum landscape a reality is a mission that we share and are thrilled to support. Their team is top notch, both in terms of talent and drive, and Alchemy is excited to grow with them as more people start to adopt their protocols” - Elan Halpern, Co-Creator of Alchemy Amplify.
Connext utilizes Alchemy’s best-in-class platform to access the industry-leading Ethereum API and subsequent L2 blockchains, helping Connext effectively enable cross-chain swaps between EVM-compatible systems. By creating a singular point of entrance to the Ethereum and L2 ecosystems, Alchemy makes it easy for Connext to orchestrate token swaps fast and efficiently.
"Connext prides itself on working with the best companies in the industry in order to help it grow at a rapid pace. Alchemy has gone above and beyond, both in terms of product, customer service, and excellent monitoring and analytics tooling, to help Connext achieve its goals. We’re glad to be a partner of theirs and look forward to continue working with Alchemy as we scale.” - Rahul Sethuram, Tech Lead
