Alchemy Production Checklist

Pre-Launch Checklist

API & Infrastructure

• API key restricted to production domains in Alchemy Dashboard
• Separate Alchemy apps for dev/staging/prod environments
• Rate limit headroom verified (< 70% of CU/sec budget)
• Retry logic with exponential backoff implemented
• Error monitoring configured (Sentry, Datadog, etc.)
• Webhook endpoints HTTPS-only with signature verification

Security

• API key NOT in frontend code — proxied through backend
• Private keys in secret manager (not env files)
• All user-supplied addresses validated and checksummed
• No console.log of sensitive data in production builds
• npm audit clean — no critical vulnerabilities

Smart Contracts (if applicable)

• Contracts audited by reputable firm
• Deployed and verified on Etherscan/Polygonscan
• Admin keys secured in multi-sig wallet
• Emergency pause function tested

Performance

• Response caching for frequently-queried data (balances, metadata)
• Connection pooling for provider instances
• Batch requests where possible (NFT metadata, balances)
• WebSocket reconnection logic for real-time subscriptions
