Alchemy published an announcement announcing its support for controversial blockchain just one day after Solana network was temporarily suspended on June 1.
The Solana Blockchain was stopped on Wednesday due to a bug that made consensus impossible. It was in effect for four hours. The system was not compromised this time, normal functionality having been stopped five times in the past year.
Alchemy doesn’t see this as a problem, since developers can use the software and infrastructure to create Solana-built apps. The company, now valued at $10.2 million, is responsible for creating an API called Alchemy Supernode on Web3 and a suite of development tools called Alchemy Build that allows monitoring and debugging.
