In an announcement, Alchemy Pay <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://alchemypay.org/news-and-press/alchemy-pay-unveils-alchemy-chain-launch-plan-a-transformative-layer-1-blockchain-for-the-future-of-payments" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">said</a> the blockchain will be built using a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture.

Furthermore, the company said that the ACH token will be the utility token of the upcoming layer-1 blockchain. Users would be used to pay gas fees using the crypto. However, the company also said that users will have the option to pay gas fees using fiat. Alchemy Pay wrote:&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “Users can conveniently cover gas fees and transactions using either $ACH or fiat, with seamless conversion of profits and other on-chain earnings into fiat currency.”
</blockquote>
The company also promised to implement a revenue mechanism for stablecoins. Alchemy Pay said it would provide users with a chance to earn yield.&nbsp;
The crypto payment provider is also getting into memecoins by introducing tools aimed at supporting memecoin projects.&nbsp;
These include a meme launchpad, which will facilitate the creation and launch of meme projects and a Meme Telegram bot, which will provide a way for developers to interact with the ecosystem.&nbsp;
