Alchemy Installation Guide
Here’s how to install an Alchemy node (for free). The node grants you the advantage of having your transaction(s) picked up by the Ethereum network (almost) instantly. Using the Ethereum mainnet, certain transactions may take a while to be picked up by the network. On some drops, that time is the difference between getting your transaction through and missing. Keep in mind this tool does not mean you can get by using lower gas prices or avoid gas wars on drops.
