Thanks

Hello @gunomnifluencer the question is tricky as both infura and alchemy provides a lot of services, so I'm going to point you to detailed explanations:

• https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-infura

If you want a one line answer: well they help you to connect, access to https protocols and manage your smart contract deployed on most of the blockchains.

Best regards, Cromewar

Hello,

Thanks for answer,

do I still need to use infura to deploy eth to mainet with real money?

[cromewar]

Depends on you, brownie uses infura by default but you are free to add any other service you want.

Hello,

Thanks for answer,

Is it possible to deploy eth to mainnet without service?

[cromewar]

Depends on the technologies you are working with I strongly suggest you to check this link of official ethereum docs: https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/smart-contracts/deploying/
