Alchemy Builders Weekly: Cronos, Solana & Call

Hey Alchemy Fam! Happy Friday everyone!! This is the weekly recap! ||@Pingme ||

** Cronos is now live on Alchemy! **

Alchemy has launched support for Cronos, a purpose-built settlement layer for stablecoins and tokenized assets.
Developers can now connect to the network through Alchemy's RPC and build with Alchemy's gasless transaction infrastructure, the same infrastructure already behind the Cronos app.

🔗 All the details here: https://www.alchemy.com/blog/cronos-is-now-live-on-alchemy

** Historical Solana token balances is now available via getTokenAccountsByOwnerAtSlot! **

Ask a Solana wallet what it holds today and any node can answer in one call.
Ask what it held last spring, or at the exact moment right before it got drained, and the easy path disappears...

🙌 Today we are changing that. getTokenAccountsByOwnerAtSlot returns everything a wallet held at any past point in time, with exact balances, in a single call.
