Web3 infrastructure company Alchemy has completed the acquisition of NFT startup HeyMint — a platform for launching collections and engaging with users.
The deal was closed on April 30, with terms undisclosed. HeyMint’s founders and the teams behind HeyMint Quest will join Alchemy to help expand the Smart Wallets division — simplified wallets for Web3 applications.
HeyMint Tools Will Be Integrated Into the Alchemy Ecosystem
The HeyMint platform allows users to create NFT collections without technical expertise. It provides access to smart contract builders and minting pages. The platform supports Ethereum and Layer 2 solutions such as Arbitrum, Base, Linea, Optimism, Polygon, as well as testnets.
Additionally, HeyMint offers tools for community growth — including Discord bots and allowlist systems. According to the company, its tools have helped more than 40,000 creators generate over $38 million through NFT launches.
HeyMint co-founder Flor Ronsmans De Vry emphasized that the team’s goal is to make Web3 more accessible to the general public.
“Alchemy allows us to scale that vision and bring us closer to onboarding a billion new users,” she stated.
Alchemy Expands Presence Through Mergers
Alchemy co-founder Joe Lau noted that both teams share a common mission: building intuitive products for the mass market. He added that the combined resources will help accelerate the development of Alchemy Smart Wallets.
This is not Alchemy’s first acquisition in the past year. The company previously acquired infrastructure provider DexterLab to expand Solana-based services and Bware to strengthen its presence in Europe. These moves reflect a broader trend — M&A activity in the crypto sector continues to rise and is expected to accelerate further in 2025.
