Launching a sovereign Avalanche L1 doesn’t need to be complex, time-consuming, or expensive anymore. Today, we’re introducing Cogitus, Zeeve’s new no-code platform that lets Web3 teams launch fully functional Avalanche L1s in just a few clicks, starting at just $50.
Cogitus is built with the backing of the Avalanche Foundation to simplify L1 deployment for developers and enterprises. Whether you’re building a modular gaming chain, experimenting with agentic AI networks, or moving an existing appchain to Avalanche, Cogitus gets you to testnet—and mainnet—faster than ever before.
“We’re thrilled to see Zeeve bring its expertise in running Layer 1 blockchains to the Avalanche ecosystem. With the launch of Cogitus, developers now have an even more accessible and cost-effective way to deploy Avalanche L1s—whether for testing or mainnet launch. Having another Blockchain-as-a-Service provider offer competitive pricing, backed by the support of the Avalanche Foundation, further strengthens Avalanche as the premier destination for sovereign blockchains.”
Martin Eckardt, Sr. Director of Developer Relations, Avalanche
A Better Path to Launch for Avalanche L1s
Avalanche L1s are seeing growing adoption across verticals, with over 800 testnet and 60+ mainnet L1s already launched. From Nexon’s MapleStory Universe and Gunzilla Games to KITE’s AI-first L1 and Uplink’s DePIN infra, each project moved away from launching on someone else’s rail to owning its own infrastructure. But launching a new chain has traditionally required extensive DevOps bandwidth, multiple protocol expertise in case of migration, and significant investment.
Cogitus addresses this gap directly, offering teams a faster and significantly more accessible route to launch Avalanche L1s with production-grade configurations, validator orchestration, and fully integrated dashboards.
“The biggest advantage of Avalanche L1s is its ability to fine-tune every aspect of your chain. From consensus parameters to gas economics, builders need full control. With Cogitus, we’re making that control accessible. Web3 teams can deploy and experiment with their own testnets, tweak configurations in real-time, and build infrastructure that actually fits their use case.”

Key Capabilities
Cogitus is purpose-built for fast, self-serve Avalanche L1 deployments—whether for testnets or production mainnets. Each deployment includes:
- One-Click Fuzi Testnet Deployment at $50
Fully functional Avalanche L1 testnet with validator management, TraceHawk blockexplorer, faucet, and RPCs—all pre-configured and ready to run.
- $995 Mainnet Launch Option
For teams ready to go live, Cogitus provides a cost-effective full-stack mainnet deployment with dozens of on-demand integrations and custom configuration choices.
- 24/7 Monitoring & Smart Dashboards
Real-time health monitoring, validator status, and network performance metrics via enterprise-grade dashboards.
- Granular Config Management
Customize your validator set, consensus rules, gas mechanics, and VM parameters—without touching raw YAMLs or CLI.
- Zero DevOps Needed
Cogitus handles setup, deployment, scaling, and hosting—abstracting all technical overhead.
- Multi-Cloud Redundancy
Your network is deployed across 150+ cloud zones for uptime, resiliency, and low-latency availability.
- Seamless Migration Support
Already running on testnet or another stack? Cogitus supports full migration to Avalanche L1, without data loss or downtime. Bring your existing chain and move over cleanly.
Cogitus is one of the first Avalanche-supported platforms to offer complete automation for launching L1s with minimal friction and subsidized pricing. And it’s already helping teams go live with public testnets, production-ready mainnets, with full-fledged infra and support.
If you’re planning to build a chain on Avalanche or migrate from another L1 or Ethereum L2s, Cogitus gets you there without needing to build infrastructure from scratch.
Combined with Avalanche’s Builder Credits and Retro9000 initiatives, Cogitus gives teams a faster and more cost-efficient route to building their own Avalanche L1.
