Web3 developer platform Alchemy has acquired HeyMint, a California-based no-code NFT launchpad, as part of its strategy to enhance smart wallet infrastructure. This undisclosed acquisition is Alchemy's second this month, following the purchase of Dexter Lab, a Solana data infrastructure provider. HeyMint, though not widely recognized, attracted over 1 million users during its two years of operation, facilitating $38 million in NFT sales. It supported major brands like Universal Music Group and Ubisoft, and in 2023, it assisted in NFT sales for the Partnership for Central America, which included Mastercard. The integration of HeyMint’s infrastructure aims to simplify onboarding for Web3 applications. The article notes a trend of increasing mergers and acquisitions in the crypto space, particularly in the U.S., driven by regulatory clarity and supportive policies, highlighted by high-profile deals and rising venture capital funding in the sector.
