Alchemy the web3 software development tool has launched an innovative tool that will assist developers in creating web3 applications more quickly according to the company’s exclusive announcement to TechCrunch.
Its tool “create-web3-app,” will allow developers to start their applications in just four minutes, Elan Halpern as well as Vitto Rivabella, the product managers at Alchemy said.
“Web3 is so new,” Rivabella said. “Everyone is exploring and new protocols are released every day. We set out to build an infrastructure layer for package development that’s as capable of being as flexible as it can be to accommodate every web3 requirement that developers need.”
The software will work with blockchains that support Alchemy, such as Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more, Rivabella said. The company plans to add additional platforms and development software kits in the near future the developer said.
“Taking an unintentional step back to think about our main purpose and goal for Alchemy is making the lives of developers simple and making it simple to create web3-based software,” Halpern said. “As Alchemy continues to speak to developers from the industry and get to know their challenges and requirements these tools are continuing to grow.”
One of the biggest obstacles to entry for developers who were creating, testing, and preparing to launch an app was their setup from beginning to end according to Halpern. “Developers needed the basics tools and resources for building a dApp.”
The majority of tutorials or workshops teaching developers how to create a dApp usually include at least 10 steps before the builders are able to begin to work on their project Halpern remarked. “So we’re eliminating those steps and making it a single step so that you can begin immediately.”
Halpern has compared the latest tool to making pizza.
“The most difficult thing is creating an entire dough. It’s then putting it into a ball and baking it, and once you’ve finished that, it’s a matter of topping it. Anybody can make pizza toppings,” Halpern said. “Our aim is to provide users the opportunity to make pizza, so they can add their own toppings to it. It’s the basic infrastructure that they will need to construct their own dApp. Now they can build what they want with it, and begin work immediately instead of wasting a lot of time setting up.”
The tool serves as a base template, which means that any application that requires DeFi exchanges and swaps, to analytics platforms and NFT marketplaces is possible to build using this tool, said Halpern. The current state of development for web3 dApps is difficult according to Halpern. However, tools such as this and others on the market can lower the barriers to entry, and enable developers to join the field.
While it’s not designed intended for people who aren’t technical, however, it opens up the possibility for novice and experienced developers alike to create an entire dApp by following the setup instructions.
“What developers must do to ensure that they make web3 usable is to create solutions in which web3 can be the sole option,” Rivabella said. “With the create-web3-app, we’re working to meet this demand and be agile enough to bring new ideas into the future, and real solutions to the web3 market.”
