Case Study: Royal builds a scalable open music rights market with Alchemy

Royal building an open market for music rights

Royal is a music company building an open market for music rights, letting fans invest in songs and earn royalties while artists retain more control. To support this model and handle growing demand for drops, Royal needed scalable, reliable blockchain infrastructure that could keep costs low for both the business and its users. They partnered with Alchemy and built on Polygon, using Alchemy’s web3 infrastructure and APIs.

With Alchemy’s Supernode, auto-scaling, and elastic throughput, Royal was able to handle thousands of requests during major NFT/LDA drops without crashes or rate limits. The results included more than 12K NFTs minted, an estimated $400K in engineering investment saved, and one Nas drop that consumed 33% of Polygon’s capacity at peak. Alchemy helped Royal deliver a smooth user experience and support a new music-ownership marketplace at scale.
