Practical overview

When it fits

Use Alchemy when a decentralized organization needs members to propose actions and decide collectively how to allocate funds, resources or project priorities.

Who it is for

  • DAO members coordinating decisions about organizational funds or shared resources.
  • Decentralized venture, charitable or innovation funds seeking a proposal-and-vote workflow.
  • Open-source projects that want to prioritize proposed features collectively.

Documented uses

  • Present an organizational proposal with objectives, methods, costs and milestones.
  • Predict whether a proposal will be accepted or rejected and use predictions to sort or prioritize proposals.
  • Vote to accept or reject proposals when holding reputation, or voting power.
  • Coordinate budgeting and resource-allocation decisions.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Anyone can propose and predict, but only reputation holders can vote.
  • The README marks Alchemy 2.0 as deprecated and recommends version 1.
  • Development of this package has moved to the Alchemy monorepo.
  • The repository documents a Docker local-development path and an alternative involving locally run services.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
