P.S. You can also use Infura, Quicknode, Geth local node etc. The process is the same. We're suggesting Alchemy just because it's what most people are comfortable using, but remember any RPC can be faster / slower than another one. Some might rate limit your requests, especially free ones.

P.P.S: We suggest setting up your own Local Node for a smoother and rate limitless experience.
