👋 Hey [%first_name | Alchemists%],

Welcome back! We had a handful of new product launches over the past 2 weeks including a new Enhanced API method, developer tools for Layer 2s, and a beginner tutorial for integrating Alchemy Notify.

(P.S. If this is your first newsletter - nice to meet you! We only send two emails/month!😄)

📢 Announcements

🚨Attention Ethereum developers! EIP-1559 is rolling out and there are some big changes to how transactions and gas costs will work, so we wrote a blog that covers:
- 🌟 Why EIP-1559 is here.
- 🧐 What Alchemy is doing.

🚀 How you can prepare!

🚀 Product Launches

Some of Alchemy's most popular API and dashboard tools: WebSockets and the Mempool Watcher, are finally live for all Layer 2s!

The getTokenBalances API method now allows for the "DEFAULT_TOKENS" parameter which will query and return the top 100 tokens by 24 hour volume for a given address. Check out this new feature in our Enhanced API documentation.

👩‍🏫 Learn

We've been getting a lot of interest in Alchemy Notify recently so have decided to spin up a quick tutorial on how to integrate transaction notifications into your dApp!
