Case Study: The Smurfs’ Society achieves reliable, gas-optimized Polygon transactions with Alchemy

The Smurfs’ Society scales 20,000 daily transactions with Alchemy

The Smurfs’ Society, an official web3 project and on-chain gamification platform, faced a significant challenge scaling its operations on the Polygon network. They needed to process over 20,000 transactions daily for their game, but were severely impacted by gas price volatility and network congestion, which caused transactions to stall and at one point forced a 30-minute game stoppage. To maintain a smooth user experience, they partnered with vendor Alchemy for a solution.

Alchemy implemented its Gas Optimized Transactions solution for The Smurfs’ Society. This service automatically managed gas price escalation across multiple transactions to ensure they were mined, replacing their previous manual over-pricing strategy. The solution successfully provided resilience during periods of high volatility, guaranteeing transaction correctness and a consistent experience for tens of thousands of players without further interruptions.
