SAN FRANCISCO — Blockchain development platform Alchemy announced Monday its acquisition of HeyMint, a California-based NFT launchpad, as part of its ongoing strategy to streamline user onboarding for Web3 applications. Financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
The acquisition will integrate HeyMint’s NFT creation tools into Alchemy’s smart wallet infrastructure, aiming to reduce technical barriers for developers and end-users entering decentralized ecosystems. Alchemy emphasized that the merger aligns with its mission to “democratize access to Web3 tools” by offering cohesive solutions for NFT projects and blockchain applications.
HeyMint co-founder and CTO Flor Ronsmans De Vry will transition to Alchemy’s engineering leadership team, leveraging his expertise in NFT minting processes. Industry analysts suggest the move signals Alchemy’s intensified focus on capturing market share in the NFT infrastructure sector, which has seen renewed activity amid recent advancements in tokenization standards.
“This integration allows developers to deploy NFT collections with fewer backend complexities while maintaining interoperability across chains,” an Alchemy spokesperson told Golden Finance, noting that existing HeyMint clients will retain platform access through Alchemy’s expanded service suite.
The deal follows Alchemy’s February rollout of “Account Abstraction” technology, which enables gas-free transactions and social logins for decentralized apps. Market observers highlight growing competition among Web3 infrastructure providers to simplify user experiences as adoption hurdles persist.
