Gelato Expands Its Developer Platform to Offer Avalanche Layer 1 (L1) Blockchain-As-A-Service Targeting Enterprises

Avalanche

Launching alongside Avalanche9000, a major protocol upgrade; Gelato’s L1 Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) leverages key advancements like dynamic fees and the removal of AVAX staking requirements. Developers can now deploy fully sovereign chains faster, at lower cost, and with full interoperability via Avalanche InterChain Messaging (ICM).

Ideal for advanced use cases, like KYC-gated fintech apps or custom economies in gaming, Avalanche L1s give teams full control over execution, governance, and economics, while maintaining seamless interoperability via ICM.

“Avalanche L1s mark a paradigm shift in blockchain infrastructure, enabling a future where every application can run on its own sovereign chain, optimized for its unique needs,” said Martin Eckardt, Sr. Director of Developer Relations at Ava Labs. “Avalanche9000 removes longstanding barriers to this vision by making custom L1 blockchains more accessible, affordable, and interoperable. With Gelato’s BaaS offering, developers now have access to a complete developer platform to build highly customized, scalable L1s, powering the next generation of Web3, enterprise, and real-world applications.”

Gelato is the only platform unifying Avalanche L1 Blockchain-as-a-Service with a full developer stack, empowering teams to choose the right infrastructure for their application without changing tools or ecosystems.

Beyond one-click L1 deployment, enterprises gain access to Gelato’s full Web3 Services Suite - built for scale, resilience, and compliance. This includes high-availability global RPC infrastructure with 99.99% uptime SLAs, Verified Nodes to support node sales with enterprise-grade observability, and Account Abstraction for frictionless user onboarding.

Gelato also provides real-time oracle feeds via Edge and Stork, Verifiable Random Functions (VRF) for secure randomness, and serverless Web3 Functions for advanced onchain automation, all backed by 24/7 support and custom SLAs. The platform comes with 50+ blue-chip 3rd party integrations, including LayerZero, The Graph, Blockscout, and Transact, and offers native compatibility with ElizaOS for building autonomous onchain AI agents. Gelato’s infrastructure is designed with enterprise needs in mind—featuring robust compliance workflows, secure key management, and auditability at every layer.

Together, these tools give enterprises everything they need to launch, scale, and operate high-performance Avalanche L1s.

“The future of enterprise blockchain is sovereign, interoperable, and invisible to the end user,” said Luis Schliesske, Founder at Gelato. “With Avalanche L1 BaaS, we give builders the infrastructure to launch highly customizable blockchains without compromising on UX, scalability, or security. Whether you're a fintech, gaming studio, or decentralized ecosystem, Gelato abstracts the complexity so you can focus on building next-generation onchain products.”

By combining Avalanche’s next-gen L1 stack with Gelato’s complete developer platform, teams can now launch customizable, enterprise-grade blockchains with unmatched speed and operational ease.
