Case Study: 0x achieves reliable, low-latency infrastructure and faster developer velocity with Alchemy

0x powers decentralized exchange, Alchemy powers 0x

0x is an open protocol that enables peer-to-peer exchange of assets on the Ethereum blockchain and needed incredibly robust, low-latency, highly available infrastructure to support relayers, dApps, and 24/7 DeFi markets. To find the most reliable provider, the 0x DevOps team ran stress and consistency tests and selected Alchemy — using Alchemy’s infrastructure, observability dashboards, and tracing API — after other endpoints failed under load.

Alchemy delivered low-latency, high-uptime endpoints, real-time monitoring dashboards, and a tracing API implemented with live technical support, enabling faster debugging and a simpler data pipeline. As a result, 0x reported increased developer velocity and reduced troubleshooting time while relying on Alchemy to handle peak traffic — with Alchemy powering 400M+ queries to date, a 5 ms median latency, and $1 billion in transactions — even as 0x continues to run one full archive node for decentralization.
