-Alchemy SDK for Javascript
+# Alchemy SDK for Javascript
 
 The Alchemy SDK is the most comprehensive, stable, and powerful Javascript SDK available today to interact with the blockchain.
 
 It supports the exact same syntax and functionality of the Ethers.js `AlchemyProvider` and `WebSocketProvider`, making it a 1:1 mapping for anyone using the Ethers.js `Provider`. However, it adds a significant amount of improved functionality on top of Ethers, such as easy access to Alchemy’s Enhanced and NFT APIs, robust WebSockets, and quality-of-life improvements such as automated retries.
 
-The SDK leverages Alchemy's hardened node infrastructure, guaranteeing best-in-class node reliability, scalability, and data correctness, and is undergoing active development by Alchemy's engineers.
