Every smooth onchain experience depends on infrastructure most people never see. The interface is only the beginning. Alchemy provides R P C APIs, blockchain data APIs, and developer tooling for building and operating onchain applications. Its platform supports more than 100 blockchain networks. Apps need a connection to the network: sending requests, reading state, and receiving useful responses. This infrastructure lives underneath the interface people see. Explore Alchemy on Hood L two. Find the project links, its full description, and the sources behind the listing.

Overview
Alchemy provides RPC APIs, blockchain data APIs, and developer tooling for building and operating onchain applications. Its platform supports more than 100 blockchain networks.
Uses
- Teams that want managed RPC/WebSocket access instead of running a node
- Builders already on Alchemy adding Robinhood Chain with familiar tooling
- Production apps that need to move off the rate-limited public endpoint
Risks and limitations
- Robinhood describes its rate-limited public RPC as unsuitable for production.
- Use mainnet chain ID 4663 or testnet 46630 as appropriate. Both use ETH for gas.

Robinhood Chain mainnet goes live on Alchemy
Alchemy announced Robinhood Chain mainnet support with RPC, WebSocket and developer tooling, and Robinhood's docs list it as the recommended provider.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Alchemy's role on Robinhood Chain?
- Alchemy provides RPC, WebSocket and developer tooling for the network. Robinhood publishes its mainnet endpoint in the connection documentation.
- Do I have to use Alchemy?
- No. Robinhood also lists QuickNode, Blockdaemon, dRPC and Validation Cloud.
- Can I just use the free public RPC?
- Robinhood describes its rate-limited public endpoint as unsuitable for production. Production applications should use a provider with appropriate capacity and service terms.
