San Francisco-based Alchemy had raised $80 million from investors in April. Its technology drives more than $30 billion in transactions annually, mostly on the Ethereum blockchain. It handles back-end programming for major NFT platforms including Nifty Gateway, OpenSea, CryptoPunks and SuperRare.
The company raised $80 million in a Series B funding round three months ago, which valued the company at half a billion dollars. The company has seen growth increase about 10-fold since the April fund-raising. The platform launched publicly exactly a year ago.
