Case Study: Optimism achieves developer success and scalable blockchain infrastructure with Alchemy

Optimism - Customer Case Study

The customer, Optimism, is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. During the launch of its native OP token, Optimism’s public RPC endpoint was overwhelmed by a massive influx of user traffic, requiring a 700% increase in capacity to handle the demand.

Vendor Alchemy rapidly mobilized its team to support Optimism. Alchemy’s engineers scaled the network's global read capacity by 700% in minutes, successfully supporting the airdrop and ensuring its completion. This partnership has since processed billions of API requests and helped drive over 1000% year-over-year growth in both active Optimism developer teams and API usage on Alchemy.
