Grow your dApps with 14 fast-growing chains

Published on September 10, 20243 min read

The multichain future is here, and there's never been a more exciting time to build.

Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting out, we're here to ensure you're equipped to thrive in this increasingly multichain ecosystem.

Let's dive in!

Newly Supported Chains

We've added 14 fast-growing chains for you to build on.

These new chains are now available alongside favorites like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and more.

Fueling the ecosystem

Whether you’re prioritizing performance, interoperability or specific features, each of these chains is uniquely pushing web3 development forward. 🚀

Arbitrum Nova

Powered by AnyTrust technology, Arbitrum Nova supports 130+ dApps, with Infinigods being the most popular game at the moment.
Arbitrum Nova achieved $75 million in transactions in a 30-day period, the highest volume among Arbitrum chains.
Stylus is now activated on Arbitrum Nova, enabling smart contracts in languages like Rust and C++.

Berachain: Impressive Growth

Berachain's Bartio Testnet has shown impressive growth since June 9th, with 26M transactions, 4.1M blocks, 3.5M active addresses, and 240k contracts deployed.
The ecosystem is rapidly expanding with diverse DeFi protocols like Gummi (a money market for leverage), Infrared Finance (liquid staking), and Kodiak (liquidity hub), showcasing Berachain's robust DeFi capabilities.

Flow: Embracing EVM

Crescendo, the biggest upgrade to Flow since the launch of the network, makes all Flow dApps EVM equivalent, catalyzing a new wave of users, liquidity, and apps.
The Flow World Tour brings the best developers from around the world together to create the next killer app on Flow. From now until the end of the year, there will be hackathons in Singapore, San Francisco, and Thailand, and Flow events in Korea and New York City.

Linea: Impressive First-Year Growth

Linea grew from 0 to 400 dApps and ecosystem partners in less than 1 year of Mainnet going live.
1.3M Linea users have received attestations on Verax, an on-chain attestation registry, provingtheir proof-of-humanity (PoH).
Linea is now the most cost-efficient zkRollup, with transaction costs of $0.00025.

Mantle: Pioneering Modular Solutions

Launched as the first modular Ethereum Layer 2 and first adopter of EigenLayer and EigenDA layer, Mantle has 200+ protocols deployed in just over a year.
Actively funding and developing the ecosystem through mETH Protocol, Ignition, and Mantle Rewards Station.
2nd largest community-owned treasury, supporting developers and boosting asset partner growth.

Sonic Chain going live in Q4

We've partnered with Fantom & Sonic Labs to bring you immediate RPC support for Fantom Opera and will be providing RPC support for Sonic when it's live.
Sonic Labs is planning for the Sonic chain launch in November/December 2024, featuring the Sonic Gateway - a secure, native bridge operated by Sonic's validators with a fail-safe mechanism.
Introducing the Sonic Boom program, a bounty program offering points as part of Sonic's 190.5M $S airdrop to developers who build innovative apps for the chain.

ZetaChain: Advancing Universal Blockchain

Surpassed 10,000 dApp contracts on its universal blockchain, ZetaChain offers a one-deployment solution for developers to get native access to users across Bitcoin and all other chains.
Trust Wallet launched a loyalty program for 130M users, offering $100,000 in ZETA rewards, while ZetaChain Universal DEX partner Eddy Finance reached 1,000,000 unique wallets.
Preparing support for Solana, soon to enable one-click native asset trading between Solana, Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Leveraging Multichain Infrastructure

Here's how builders are scaling their multichain dApps:

Web3 Security: Hypernative, a team dedicated to enhancing web3 safety, leverages multichain infrastructure to monitor multiple chains in real-time. Their advanced analytics detect and prevent hacks and exploits across numerous chains, including Linea and Berachain. Hypernative notes that our platform enables them to rapidly integrate new chains and scale their security solutions, contributing to a safer future for onchain apps.
Governance: Tally, a leading governance platform, utilizes our reliable RPC endpoints to provide on-chain governance solutions across multiple networks such as Linea, Gnosis and Blast. This enables Tally to quickly support new chains as protocols launch governance features, making it easier for DAOs and protocols to implement decision-making processes.
DeFi: Ether.fi, a dApp focused on optimizing Ethereum yields, leverages our multichain infrastructure to rapidly integrate new chains like Linea and Blast, allowing them to focus on innovating within DeFi. Their team emphasizes the significance of Alchemy infrastructure in their ability to expand across chains and deliver better yield opportunities for Ethereum users.

Looking Ahead

We've been launching chains at record speed. 14 chains in 12 weeks! And we're just getting started. We're working tirelessly to ensure day-one support as new chains prepare to launch.
