Blockchain developer Alchemy, founded in 2017, performed a major domain name upgrade recently to coincide with a significant funding round.
The San Francisco company reportedly used domain broker Lumis to facilitate the acquisition of Alchemy.com from its previous owner.
According to DomainIQ’s WHOIS history, the name was owned by a software company named Software Alchemy until recently when the name moved into an escrow holding account owned by Greenberg & Lieberman LLC, the law firm behind the popular Escrow.domains escrow platform.
The move was first spotted on Twitter by Jamie Zoch:
Alchemy․com has had some whois activity and potentially may have sold. Greenberg & Lieberman, LLC added to whois record (Payments via Escrow․domains?), Google MX added, NS change to CloudFlare etc. I'd place a bet it sold.

The timing of Alchemy.com’s domain acquisition coincides with the company’s announcement of an $80 million Series B funding round, which moves the company’s total funding amount to $113.9 million to date.
Hello James,
Your Quote = “The timing of Alchemy.com’s domain acquisition coincides with the company’s announcement of an $80 million Series B funding round, which moves the company’s total funding amount to $113.9 million to date.”
We contend getting the funding in the first place, would never have happened without the (.com EPA) Purchase.
