Introducing Cortex: The World’s First Intelligent Blockchain Engine

We’re beyond excited to introduce Cortex — the world’s first intelligent blockchain engine, now powering the all-new Alchemy Developer Platform, including every request to our RPC API.

Cortex is the result of 1.5 years of engineering work, trained on trillions of requests from 7+ years of powering the top crypto apps and over $500B in transactions.

Here’s your first look at Cortex in action.

Every time you use our RPC API, you’re getting Cortex-powered performance:

✅ 2.5x faster response times (48ms average)
✅ 5x more reliable
✅ 500x more throughput than a single node
✅ 99.995% uptime, globally available
✅ Unlimited getLogs, now 265x faster
✅ Block-perfect consistency + zero dropped connections

No code changes required — these benefits are live today. Whether you're building on EVM or Solana, Cortex gives you unmatched performance in scale, speed, and intelligence.
