# Alchemy

*The recommended RPC and developer platform for building on Robinhood Chain.*

Alchemy is the default answer to 'how do I actually build on Robinhood Chain' — Robinhood names it the recommended infrastructure provider, and its documentation publishes the Alchemy mainnet endpoint (robinhood-mainnet.g.alchemy.com) directly, alongside RPC, WebSocket and the enhanced developer tooling teams already use on other EVM chains. That matters more than a generic 'we support this chain now' listing: the public endpoint at rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com is rate-limited and Robinhood's own terms call it unsuitable for production, so anything real needs a dedicated provider, and Alchemy is the one Robinhood puts first. The position to take is that Alchemy is the path of least resistance rather than a monopoly — Robinhood lists QuickNode, Blockdaemon, dRPC and Validation Cloud as production alternatives, so teams have choice — but the combination of first-party recommendation, a published endpoint and Alchemy's existing footprint (which the company frames as powering over $1 trillion in transactions a year at 99.5% uptime, SOC 2 Type II certified) makes it the pragmatic default for most builders. The useful nuance for readers is operational, not marketing: use the correct network (mainnet chain ID 4663, testnet 46630), remember gas is paid in ETH rather than any chain-native token, and treat the free public RPC as strictly for experiments. Where the record is thinner is on the account-abstraction side: Robinhood Chain treats ERC-4337 as first-class with published EntryPoint addresses, and Alchemy is a major AA infrastructure vendor, but the primary sources confirm the RPC role more firmly than any Robinhood-Chain-specific bundler or gas-sponsorship product.
