Alchemy Core Workflow A — Wallet Portfolio Tracker

Overview

Primary workflow: build a wallet portfolio tracker using Alchemy's Enhanced APIs. Combines getTokenBalances, getNftsForOwner, getAssetTransfers, and token metadata to create a complete wallet view across ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 assets.

Prerequisites

• Completed alchemy-install-auth setup
• alchemy-sdk installed
• Understanding of Ethereum address format and token standards

Instructions

Step 1: Portfolio Data Fetcher

// src/portfolio/fetcher.ts
import { Alchemy, Network, AssetTransfersCategory } from 'alchemy-sdk';

const alchemy = new Alchemy({
  apiKey: process.env.ALCHEMY_API_KEY,
  network: Network.ETH_MAINNET,
});

interface TokenHolding {
  contractAddress: string;
  symbol: string;
  name: string;
  balance: number;
  decimals: number;
}

interface NftHolding {
  contractAddress: string;
  collectionName: string;
  tokenId: string;
  name: string;
  imageUrl: string | null;
}

interface WalletPortfolio {
  address: string;
  ethBalance: string;
  tokens: TokenHolding[];
  nfts: NftHolding[];
  recentTransactions: any[];
  fetchedAt: string;
}

async function fetchPortfolio(address: string): Promise<WalletPortfolio> {
  // Parallel fetch all portfolio data
  const [ethBalance, tokenBalances, nftResponse, transfers] = await Promise.all([
    alchemy.core.getBalance(address),
    alchemy.core.getTokenBalances(address),
    alchemy.nft.getNftsForOwner(address, { pageSize: 100 }),
    alchemy.core.getAssetTransfers({
      fromAddress: address,
      category: [
        AssetTransfersCategory.EXTERNAL,
        AssetTransfersCategory.ERC20,
        AssetTransfersCategory.ERC721,
      ],
      maxCount: 25,
      order: 'desc',
    }),
  ]);

  // Resolve token metadata
  const tokens: TokenHolding[] = [];
  for (const tb of tokenBalances.tokenBalances) {
    if (tb.tokenBalance && tb.tokenBalance !== '0x0') {
      const metadata = await alchemy.core.getTokenMetadata(tb.contractAddress);
      const balance = parseInt(tb.tokenBalance, 16) / Math.pow(10, metadata.decimals || 18);
      if (balance > 0.001) {  // Filter dust
        tokens.push({
          contractAddress: tb.contractAddress,
          symbol: metadata.symbol || 'UNKNOWN',
          name: metadata.name || 'Unknown Token',
          balance,
          decimals: metadata.decimals || 18,
        });
      }
    }
  }

  // Map NFTs
  const nfts: NftHolding[] = nftResponse.ownedNfts.map(nft => ({
    contractAddress: nft.contract.address,
    collectionName: nft.contract.name || 'Unknown Collection',
    tokenId: nft.tokenId,
    name: nft.name || `#${nft.tokenId}`,
    imageUrl: nft.image?.cachedUrl || null,
  }));

  return {
    address,
    ethBalance: (parseInt(ethBalance.toString()) / 1e18).toFixed(6),
    tokens: tokens.sort((a, b) => b.balance - a.balance),
    nfts,
    recentTransactions: transfers.transfers,
    fetchedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  };
}

export { fetchPortfolio, WalletPortfolio };

Step 2: Transaction History Analyzer

// src/portfolio/transactions.ts
import { Alchemy, Network, AssetTransfersCategory, SortingOrder } from 'alchemy-sdk';

const alchemy = new Alchemy({
  apiKey: process.env.ALCHEMY_API_KEY,
  network: Network.ETH_MAINNET,
});

async function getTransactionHistory(address: string, maxCount: number = 50) {
  // Get both sent and received transactions
  const [sent, received] = await Promise.all([
    alchemy.core.getAssetTransfers({
      fromAddress: address,
      category: [AssetTransfersCategory.EXTERNAL, AssetTransfersCategory.ERC20],
      maxCount,
      order: 'desc',
    }),
    alchemy.core.getAssetTransfers({
      toAddress: address,
      category: [AssetTransfersCategory.EXTERNAL, AssetTransfersCategory.ERC20],
      maxCount,
      order: 'desc',
    }),
  ]);

  // Merge and sort by block number
  const allTransfers = [
    ...sent.transfers.map(t => ({ ...t, direction: 'sent' as const })),
    ...received.transfers.map(t => ({ ...t, direction: 'received' as const })),
  ].sort((a, b) => parseInt(b.blockNum) - parseInt(a.blockNum));

  return allTransfers;
}

export { getTransactionHistory };

Step 3: Multi-Chain Portfolio Aggregator

// src/portfolio/multi-chain.ts
import { Alchemy, Network } from 'alchemy-sdk';

const CHAINS = [
  { name: 'Ethereum', network: Network.ETH_MAINNET },
  { name: 'Polygon', network: Network.MATIC_MAINNET },
  { name: 'Arbitrum', network: Network.ARB_MAINNET },
  { name: 'Optimism', network: Network.OPT_MAINNET },
  { name: 'Base', network: Network.BASE_MAINNET },
];

async function getMultiChainBalances(address: string) {
  const results = await Promise.allSettled(
    CHAINS.map(async (chain) => {
      const client = new Alchemy({
        apiKey: process.env.ALCHEMY_API_KEY,
        network: chain.network,
      });
      const balance = await client.core.getBalance(address);
      const tokens = await client.core.getTokenBalances(address);
      const nonZeroTokens = tokens.tokenBalances.filter(
        t => t.tokenBalance && t.tokenBalance !== '0x0'
      );
      return {
        chain: chain.name,
        nativeBalance: (parseInt(balance.toString()) / 1e18).toFixed(6),
        tokenCount: nonZeroTokens.length,
      };
    })
  );

  return results
    .filter((r): r is PromiseFulfilledResult<any> => r.status === 'fulfilled')
    .map(r => r.value);
}

export { getMultiChainBalances };

Output

• Complete wallet portfolio: ETH + ERC-20 tokens + NFTs
• Transaction history with sent/received classification
• Multi-chain balance aggregation across 5 networks
• Sorted holdings with dust filtering

Examples

For a development demonstration, call fetchPortfolio with a publicly known test address or an address you control; never request a customer address until the product’s privacy notice and consent flow are in place. Render the returned network, timestamp, balances, and token counts, and cache metadata so repeated page loads do not exhaust the request budget. Verify that a zero-balance address produces an empty but valid portfolio and that a simulated 429 uses bounded backoff. If a chain query fails, show that chain as unavailable while retaining successful chains instead of inventing a consolidated balance.
