Web3 developer platform Alchemy has announced a partnership with Web3 infrastructure firm Syndicate to enable projects to deploy customisable, reliable and community-owned rollups – their own Ethereum Layer-2 networks.
This partnership combines Syndicate’s on-chain sequencing network with Alchemy’s blockchain infrastructure to give projects a premier option when selecting how to power their blockchain operations.
Through this partnership, Alchemy and Syndicate are also launching a joint accelerator program that offers strategic advice, technical resources, and free credits to teams that are building rollups. Technical teams from both firms will work directly with program participants to develop and launch their own custom Ethereum Layer-2 rollups.

Why have Alchemy and Syndicate joined forces?
Layer-2 networks are crucial to the long-term feasibility, adoption and growth of Ethereum. Popular Layer-2 networks include the likes of Polygon, Immutable, and the recently-launched Abstract.
Since 2017, Alchemy has worked on the infrastructure that powers Ethereum and other major projects, including World Chain, OpenSea, Magic Eden, and many more.
Since 2021, Syndicate has developed blockchain infrastructure for the likes of Nike SWOOSH and Rug Radio, and has since expanded their services to include rollups and their sequencers.
Whilst the likes of Polygon, Immutable and Abstract have proven to be very popular, they are still general purpose solutions. The partnership between Alchemy and Syndicate will assist projects in creating their own Layer-2 rollups that are specifically tailored for their requirements, whilst enjoying the security and reliability of Ethereum.

What impact could this partnership have?
Both Alchemy and Syndicate are excited about how their partnership could shake-up the Layer-2 space.
“With rollup adoption accelerating, scaling infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges organizations face,” said Nikil Viswanathan, co-founder and CEO of Alchemy. “We’re thrilled to expand our offerings through this partnership with Syndicate, making it easier for developers to launch their own rollup that can scale and progressively decentralize to their communities.
“This partnership will give onchain builders the infrastructure and performance they need to confidently build mainstream apps and networks that users want and need.”
Ian Lee, co-founder of Syndicate, was similarly bullish. “By joining forces with Alchemy, we’re making it significantly easier for developers to build and scale rollups that require high throughput, reliability, and customization.
“By integrating Alchemy’s rollup platform with our onchain sequencing infrastructure, we’re providing the robust, scalable infrastructure that teams need to confidently build and deploy the most successful rollups and applications that all want to be community-owned.”
