Dapper Labs partners with Alchemy to boost NBA TopShot

NBA Top Shot is the most popular platform for NFTs, accounting for the majority of transactions in the NFT market

Dapper Labs’ Flow and Alchemy have joined forces to further boost the leading NFT online company NBA Top Shot.

Dapper Labs is a Vancouver-based blockchain company that launched NBA Top Shot earlier this year, with the backing of the NBA. Alchemy, on the other hand, is a leader and backbone of the decentralised finance realm.

According to Dapper Labs CEO, Roham Gharegozlou, NBA Top Shot is responsible for the majority of transactions in the NFT market.

Alchemy CEO, Nikil Viswanathan, stated that Alchemy serves as the driving force behind accessing blockchains. Similar to any app or website that is powered by AWS.
