Daily treasury valuation snapshot, zero manual effort

Each morning the agent fetches wallet portfolios and live token prices from Alchemy, calculates full USD treasury value, writes the result to the treasury dashboard in Google Sheets, and posts a clean P&L summary to the #finance Slack channel — the team walks into their standup with current numbers, not yesterday's.

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    60 min / week
    Manual wallet research pre-call

    Sales reps manually search wallet addresses on block explorers, copy token balances, and paste notes into HubSpot — 10–15 minutes per prospect, every time.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent surfaces wallet intelligence before the first call

    The Sales Agent retrieves token balances and portfolio data for prospect wallets and logs the summary to HubSpot before the rep picks up the phone — on-chain context without any manual blockchain lookup.

  • Marketing
    30 min / week
    Weekly NFT community report assembly

    The marketing team manually checks holder counts on marketplaces like OpenSea, records floor prices, and compiles the numbers into a Slack message or sheet every Monday morning.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent posts the NFT community digest automatically

    Each Monday the Marketing Agent pulls holder counts and floor prices for all collections and posts a formatted community health digest to Slack — no dashboard tab-hopping required.

  • Customer Support
    40 min / week
    Manual transaction status lookup

    Support agents copy the transaction hash into Etherscan, interpret the raw receipt data, and write up a response — adding 10–20 minutes to every on-chain support ticket.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent resolves on-chain tickets in under a minute

    When a transaction-related ticket arrives, the Support Agent fetches status and receipt from Alchemy, decodes any revert reason, and posts a plain-English verdict to the ticket — no engineer needed.

  • Human Resources
    30 min / week
    Manual vesting disbursement verification

    HR manually checks block explorers to confirm vesting contract transfers, copies transaction details into the compensation spreadsheet, and flags any issues to finance — a 30-minute task per release cycle.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent verifies vesting releases with on-chain evidence

    On each release date the HR Agent checks on-chain transfers from the vesting contract, confirms amounts and destination wallets, and logs the evidence to the compensation record automatically.

  • Finance
    100 min / week
    Manual treasury balance aggregation

    Finance manually queries wallet balances on chain explorers, looks up token prices on CoinGecko, multiplies and sums manually, and updates the treasury sheet — 20–40 minutes every morning.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent delivers daily USD treasury valuation before standups

    Every morning the Finance Agent fetches wallet portfolios and token prices from Alchemy, calculates total USD value, and posts the result to Slack — the team opens their day with current numbers.

  • Operations
    45 min / week
    Manual contract interaction review

    Engineers manually review contract call parameters, estimate gas on a forked environment or test net, and proceed without a live-state simulation — occasional failed transactions waste gas and block operations.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent pre-simulates every contract interaction before execution

    Before any gas is spent, the Operations Agent simulates the transaction against current chain state, validates the outcome, and posts the pre-flight result — failed simulations are caught before they become wasted gas.

  • Legal
    60 min / week
    Manual on-chain audit evidence gathering

    Legal manually searches block explorers for each wallet address, pages through transaction history, copies relevant records, and formats them into a spreadsheet — two to four hours per audit request.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent assembles audit evidence packages in minutes

    When a compliance request arrives, the Legal Agent retrieves full transfer histories and block timestamps from Alchemy and structures them into an audit evidence package in Notion — ready for review the same hour.

FAQs

Questions about Alchemy + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Alchemy?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Alchemy, and click Connect. The recommended path is API Key — you create a free account at alchemy.com, navigate to your dashboard, create a new app for the network you need (e.g. Ethereum Mainnet), and copy the API key from the app settings. Paste it into Actionist and click Test connection; the agent runs a read-only call to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
What permissions or scopes does the agent need on my Alchemy account?
Alchemy's API key is scoped to a specific app and network you configure in the Alchemy dashboard. The key itself does not carry separate read/write permission tiers — access is governed by your Alchemy plan (free, Growth, or Scale) and which APIs are enabled on your account. For webhook delivery (Notify), you also need to configure a webhook endpoint in the Alchemy dashboard and pass the signing key to Actionist so it can verify inbound payloads.
Can I connect Alchemy to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. Alchemy is most useful as a data source that feeds other apps. Common combinations: fetch NFT holdings and write them to Google Sheets for reporting; poll token balances and post alerts to Slack when a threshold is crossed; retrieve transaction history and log it to Notion for audit trails; use Alchemy webhook events (mined/dropped transactions, address activity) to trigger downstream actions in HubSpot, Jira, or your CRM. Any Actionist-connected app can send or receive data alongside Alchemy in the same scheduled agent task.
What are the most common things agents do with Alchemy?
The most frequent patterns are: (1) balance monitoring — polling token or ETH balances on wallets and alerting when thresholds are hit; (2) NFT portfolio reporting — fetching all NFTs owned by an address and writing them to a spreadsheet or dashboard; (3) transaction reconciliation — pulling transfer history for a set of addresses and matching it against an off-chain ledger; (4) webhook-driven event handling — receiving Alchemy Notify events (mined transactions, address activity) and routing them to the right team via Slack or email.
Which blockchain networks does Alchemy support?
Alchemy supports over 80 blockchain networks as of 2026, including Ethereum Mainnet, Ethereum Sepolia/Holesky testnets, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Solana, Starknet, and many more. Each network requires a separate Alchemy app (and thus a separate API key) in the dashboard. Actionist allows you to configure multiple Alchemy connections — one per network — and an agent can query across them in a single task by calling each in sequence.
Does Alchemy have API rate limits I should be aware of?
Alchemy's free tier (the 'Free' plan) includes 300 million compute units per month (CU), which covers a substantial volume of reads for most monitoring and reporting use cases. Growth and Scale plans offer higher CU limits and SLA guarantees. Actionist's scheduled agent tasks are well within free-tier limits for typical reporting cadences (e.g. daily balance checks, weekly NFT snapshots). If you expect high-frequency polling across many wallets, check your CU consumption in the Alchemy dashboard and upgrade accordingly.
How quickly do Alchemy webhook events arrive in Actionist?
Alchemy Notify (the webhook system) fires events within about a minute of the on-chain event occurring — there is an inherent block confirmation delay. Actionist agents receive Alchemy webhook payloads at a configured endpoint; the agent then processes the payload and triggers downstream actions. For use cases that require near-real-time notification (e.g. a mined transaction alert), this pipeline is suitable. For sub-second latency requirements, a dedicated WebSocket subscription outside Actionist is more appropriate.
What NFT data can the Alchemy agent retrieve?
Alchemy's NFT API covers ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) and Solana SPL tokens. It returns metadata (name, description, image URI, attributes), ownership data (owner address, token count), contract details (total supply, symbol), floor prices (where available via marketplace data), and transfer history. The agent can fetch all NFTs for an address, look up a specific token by contract + token ID, or query all holders of a contract.
