Alchemy acquires NFT launchpad HeyMint to supercharge Smart Wallets

Alchemy has acquired HeyMint, a user-first NFT launchpad, to accelerate and strengthen Alchemy’s mission to simplify and scale user onboarding in web3 through its Smart Wallets solution, the company announced Friday.

Unveiled earlier this year, Alchemy Smart Wallets are enterprise-grade, programmable smart contract wallets that enable frictionless onboarding, gasless transactions, enhanced security, and flexible authorization methods for web3 users and developers.

Alchemy noted that HeyMint’s shared emphasis on accessibility and ease of use makes it a strong complement to Smart Wallets. Alchemy and HeyMint did not disclose the deal terms.

HeyMint’s products, such as its Launchpad and Allowlist tools, reflect a strong track record in reducing barriers to entry and enhancing accessibility, goals that directly support the expansion of Alchemy’s Smart Wallet ecosystem.

“HeyMint’s focus on creating the most accessible and user-friendly experience aligns perfectly with Alchemy’s vision of onboarding the next generation of users and technology companies to web3, and we are excited to welcome their team into ours,” said Joe Lau, co-founder and President of Alchemy, in a statement. “Together, we will continue to improve and evolve Alchemy’s Smart Wallets.”

Alchemy added that incorporating HeyMint’s proven SDK and embeddable web3 engagement tools will empower developers to seamlessly integrate Smart Wallet functionality into a variety of platforms, including apps, games, marketplaces, and loyalty programs.

HeyMint’s no-code tools have served over 1 million users and supported more than 40,000 creators in generating $38 million in NFT sales. The platform has powered web3 campaigns for global brands including MasterCard, Ubisoft, Universal Music Group, and The Sandbox.

To date, HeyMint tools have saved creators an estimated $9 million on allowlists and over $29 million in NFT launch costs, as noted in the announcement.

The acquisition also brings on HeyMint co-founder and CTO Flor Ronsmans De Vry, a veteran web3 developer and founder of blockchain automation firm Fuse Robotics.

“We built HeyMint to make web3 accessible to anyone,” said Ronsmans De Vry. “Joining Alchemy gives us the scale and reach to take that vision further — and make secure, user-first onboarding available to every developer and project.”

This is Alchemy’s second strategic acquisition this month. Just last week, the company acquired DexterLab, a top Solana infrastructure provider trusted by firms like Google and the Solana Foundation.

The move is expected to enhance Alchemy’s infrastructure portfolio and accelerate innovation as it expands support beyond Ethereum.
