Slash x Alchemy and the Future of On-Chain Dollar Access
Inside the partnership that brings banking-style usability to stablecoin payments and removes friction from global USD movement.
Powering Global USD: How Slash and Alchemy Make On-Chain Dollars Work for Every Business
Global businesses depend on the U.S. dollar, but accessing dollar-based payment rails is still hard for companies outside the U.S.. Stablecoins opened the door, yet most teams still struggle with the technical steps behind sending or receiving them. Slash built the Global USD Account to fix that, allowing non-U.S. entities to receive, store, and send dollars instantly through stablecoin rails without dealing with crypto complexity.
To make that possible, Slash needed dependable, invisible infrastructure. Alchemy was that solution, giving Slash the on-chain infrastructure to deliver a seamless experience for global crypto payments.
Alchemy: The Backbone for On-Chain Transactions
“Alchemy is the lean developer platform for anyone who wants to take action on chain. We process around 150 billion dollars in transactions annually and power teams from Coinbase and OpenSea to Robinhood and Visa.”
Alchemy gives Slash the RPC nodes, wallet tech, and smart-wallet infrastructure needed to make on-chain activity feel as simple as using a normal bank account. The teams have been working closely over the past few months to bring this experience to life.
How Slash Uses Alchemy
“At Slash, one of our goals is to abstract away crypto completely,” said Andy. “When you open a Slash account, you get a wallet and soon, cards. Everything works the way a bank account should. Alchemy helps us build crypto features that work out of the box.”
Behind every Global USD transaction, Alchemy handles the steps most users never see.
“When you are ready to perform a transaction, we take care of things like gas sponsorship and signing,” Flor explained. “We make sure your transaction lands on chain. That is a major difference from a traditional wallet like Metamask, where even sending stablecoins often requires buying Ethereum first.”
For Slash users, that simplicity matters. “If every time our customers wanted to move USDT they had to preload gas, they would drop the product,” Andy said. “It is the kind of friction that pushes people away from crypto.”
Democratizing Dollar Access
Slash views stablecoins as a way to expand dollar access globally.
We built Global USD to give any business a simple way to hold and move dollars, even if they are not based in the U.S. Stablecoins make the dollar accessible in a way traditional banks never have.
With Global USD, businesses outside the U.S. can receive USD from partners like Stripe, store funds in custodial wallets, and pay vendors or contractors anywhere.
What Users Experience
“For businesses outside the U.S. that want to receive or make payments through U.S. payment rails or stablecoins, Global USD covers everything,” Flor said. “You can store funds in the custodial wallet and still receive money from Stripe or pay contractors. It is very simple.”
Together, Slash and Alchemy are building a global account that feels familiar, works everywhere, and opens dollar access to companies that have historically been locked out of the system. The partnership makes on-chain dollars behave the way they should. Fast, simple, and accessible to anyone.
