Blockchain developer platform Gelato is launching a new blockchain-as-a-service solution on Avalanche to meet the growing demand for sovereign blockchain infrastructure during a crucial “tipping point” for institutional adoption. Gelato, which previously developed blockchain solutions for companies such as Kraken and Animoca Brands, unveiled the new upgrade that aims to let developers deploy fully sovereign chains faster and cheaper with full interoperability via Avalanche InterChain Messaging (ICM). Gelato emphasized that its service is ideal for advanced applications such as financial technology (fintech) requiring identity verification (KYC) and specialized gaming economies, according to a March 28 announcement shared exclusively with Cointelegraph. The service lets companies quickly deploy independent (“sovereign”) blockchains with fewer costs and faster launch times. Luis Schliesske, founder of Gelato, said previously launching a blockchain required extensive technical knowledge and significant engineering resources. Gelato’s new product reduces the complexity involved.
