Alchemy Acquires DexterLab to Strengthen Solana Infrastructure and Expand Multi-Chain Services

Alchemy, the leading blockchain infrastructure provider often referred to as the "AWS of Web3," has officially acquired DexterLab, a major infrastructure platform supporting the Solana blockchain. The move marks a significant step in Alchemy’s strategic expansion beyond Ethereum and into the rapidly growing Solana ecosystem.

DexterLab is known for its robust suite of managed Web3 services, catering to enterprise clients such as Google, Chainstack, and the Solana Foundation. With offerings including raw data APIs and real-time data feeds, DexterLab enables developers and organizations to access and analyze massive volumes of Solana blockchain data with speed and precision.

“The acquisition is a significant milestone in our Solana journey,” said Alexandru Minulescu, Alchemy's engineering lead. “What began as a collaboration has evolved into a true partnership. By combining expertise and resources, we'll scale our infrastructure and accelerate innovation across the ecosystem.”

This acquisition comes at a time when Solana continues to gain traction, fueled by high-traffic consumer applications like Pump.fun. The blockchain's reputation for low-cost, high-speed transactions has made it a preferred platform for emerging decentralized apps and real-world use cases.

One of the challenges Solana faces is its scale. The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) ecosystem generates roughly 1 terabyte of data daily, presenting performance and latency issues for traditional RPC (remote procedure call) solutions. DexterLab addresses these challenges by operating a global network of data centers to reduce latency and improve data access — an approach that aligns well with Alchemy’s focus on providing enterprise-grade infrastructure.

For Alchemy, this deal represents more than just an expansion into a new chain. It reinforces the company’s mission to support the future of decentralized development across multiple ecosystems. Historically focused on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, Alchemy has increasingly positioned itself as a multi-chain provider, anticipating a more interconnected blockchain landscape.

While financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed, the strategic intent is clear: enable more powerful, scalable, and developer-friendly infrastructure across the Web3 space.
