Alchemy brings Validator-as-a-Service to the Canton Network
Alchemy Validator-as-a-Service (VaaS) for Canton is live.
VaaS is a fully managed Canton node service: we provision and operate your participant and validator nodes across DevNet, TestNet, and MainNet, keep them upgraded in lockstep with the network, and pay Canton network fees on your behalf.
Your team can build and transact from day one without staffing a node operations practice or holding a native token.

Alchemy expands support on Stellar with Data APIs and Tier-1 validation
Since Alchemy launched Stellar support, with RPC, websocket support, and the same 99.99% uptime and SOC 2 Type II reliability we run across every supported network. Today that footprint goes deeper in two ways: Alchemy is now a tier-1 validator on Stellar, and we've added three indexed Data APIs for reading Stellar at scale.
