Weekly sync from merged alchemyplatform/docs changes between 2026-06-10 and 2026-06-17.

Docs PRs covered

  • #1391 — [docs-agent] Update eth_getLogs supported block range table — per-chain Free / PAYG / Enterprise block-range tiers updated; high-volume EVM chains move to "unlimited" on paid plans.
  • #1390 — Remove deprecated signer signup docs — POST /signer/v1/signup deleted; Embedded Account API CU table no longer lists /signer/signup.
  • #1388 — Clarify Alchemy Signer signup sunset — banner now says new user signups end 2026-06-16; existing users keep migrating; isSignup response field deprecated.
  • #1383 — [docs-agent] Remove Sonic Blaze testnet from docs (post-cutoff cleanup) — sonic-blaze slug removed from supported-chains table, OpenRPC server lists, and the trace/debug spec server lists; deprecation notice page retained.
  • #1376 — [docs-agent] Remove arbtrace_rawTransaction from docs — Arbitrum doesn't actually serve arbtrace_rawTransaction; method definition and CU row removed.
  • #1368 — [docs-agent] Restore arbtrace_* method refs in arb.yaml (DOCS-112) — 8 arbtrace_* $ref lines re-added to arb.yaml after Daikon stripped them in #1199.
  • #1370 + #1372 — Add Alchemy Claude Plugin docs page (+ trim to Claude Code) — new install path: /plugin marketplace add alchemyplatform/alchemy-claude-plugin + /plugin install alchemy@alchemy, bundles MCP + skills + slash commands.

Skills files updated

Each canonical update is mirrored to plugins/alchemy/skills/....

  • skills/alchemy-api/references/node-json-rpc.md — added a sentence to the Notes section summarizing the new eth_getLogs block-range tiers per chain and linking to the canonical reference page.
  • skills/alchemy-api/references/wallets-account-kit.md — added a "⚠️ Alchemy Signer is being sunset" callout, updated the v4 vs v5 routing table to reflect that @account-kit/signer cannot create new users after 2026-06-16, updated the Primary Use Cases section to "existing-user logins and migration only", added a Signer signup gotcha.
  • skills/alchemy-api/references/operational-supported-networks.md — removed sonic-blaze from the Data API networks list; added it to Recently Deprecated / Removed with the 2026-06-12 cutoff date.
  • skills/alchemy-api/references/node-trace-api.md — added an Arbitrum Trace API section listing the 8 supported arbtrace_* methods with their trace_* mirrors, plus a callout that arbtrace_rawTransaction is not available.
  • skills/alchemy-mcp/SKILL.md — Claude Code section now leads with the Alchemy Claude Plugin install (one step, bundles MCP + skills + slash commands) and keeps claude mcp add as a fallback.

Material changes

  • New auth surface (highly material): Alchemy Signer signup endpoint is sunset; new builds must use Privy + Wallet APIs v5. Agents scaffolding new wallet flows against @account-kit/signer after 2026-06-16 will fail.
  • API parameter correction (material): arbtrace_* is the correct namespace for trace methods on Arbitrum; arbtrace_rawTransaction is explicitly not served and will return "method does not exist".
  • Chain shutdown (material per LEARNINGS): Sonic Blaze testnet (sonic-blaze) is sunset post-2026-06-12; agents using it will fail at the routing layer.
  • Rate / limit metadata (material): per-tier eth_getLogs block-range caps changed enough that the prior "use narrow ranges" handwave is misleading on PAYG/Enterprise high-volume chains. Skill now points at the canonical matrix.
  • Tooling / install (material for the alchemy-mcp skill): the Claude Code plugin bundles MCP + skills + slash commands in one install — leading with it is faster for users than the manual claude mcp add path.

Non-material PRs (skipped)

  • Daikon-generated spec PRs: #1377 (43 chains), #1384 (Sonic). Per LEARNINGS, always skip.
  • CI / build / schema infra: #1381 (docs.yml schema), #1382 / #1367 (remote spec sourcing for gas manager / bundler).
  • Lychee / URL hygiene: #1385 (bitsofco.de exclude), #1387 (polygon-zkevm slug pin), #1380 (anchor link fix).
  • Weekly blockchain node upgrades changelog: #1379.
  • New chain quickstart/FAQ with no new capability axis: #1386 (Katana).
  • Style / wording / scope tweaks: #1371 (style audit), #1372 (Cowork → Claude Code wording; folded into the same skills update as #1370).
  • Same-week churn: #1375 (added arbtrace_rawTransaction) reversed by #1376 (removed it) → net zero, not material.

Sync skills references with this week's merged docs changes:

- eth_getLogs block range tiers (alchemyplatform/docs#1391): updated per-tier
  chain matrix mention in node-json-rpc.md so agents know about the unlimited /
  10,000 / chain-specific cutoffs.
- Alchemy Signer signup sunset (alchemyplatform/docs#1388, #1390): documented
  the 2026-06-16 cutoff and the Privy + Wallet APIs migration path in
  wallets-account-kit.md. New-user signup via /signer/v1/signup and
  @account-kit/signer is no longer supported.
- Sonic Blaze testnet post-cutoff cleanup (alchemyplatform/docs#1383): removed
  sonic-blaze from the Data API networks list and added it under Recently
  Deprecated / Removed with the 2026-06-12 cutoff date.
- Arbitrum trace surface (alchemyplatform/docs#1368, #1376): added an
  arbtrace_* section to node-trace-api.md listing the 8 supported methods.
  Called out that arbtrace_rawTransaction is NOT available.
- Alchemy Claude Plugin install path (alchemyplatform/docs#1370, #1372): the
  alchemy-mcp Claude Code section now leads with the /plugin install flow and
  keeps claude mcp add as a fallback.

Skips: Daikon-generated specs (#1377, #1384), CI / docs.yml schema work
(#1381), URL/slug fixes (#1387, #1380), lychee fixes (#1385), Katana
quickstart/FAQ (#1386, no new capability axis), spec-sourcing routing (#1382,
#1367), weekly node-upgrade changelog (#1379), style audit (#1371), wording
(#1372), churn (#1375 added then reversed by #1376 same week).
