# Ash by Suzaku

> Your chain, your rules

Ash by Suzaku provides managed infrastructure, open-source tools, and consulting services for teams deploying Avalanche L1s.

Ash by Suzaku is an infrastructure company for teams building on Avalanche. It offers managed L1 hosting with block explorers, RPC endpoints, and monitoring, alongside a multi-signature wallet for team treasuries and asset management across L1s.

The company addresses the operational complexity of launching and running a dedicated Avalanche chain by combining hosted infrastructure with an open-source toolkit for node automation and network exploration. Its managed offering handles deployment and maintenance so project teams can focus on their chain's application logic rather than infrastructure upkeep.

Its product scope spans Ash Managed L1s, Ash Wallet, and an open-source toolkit including automation and command-line utilities, complemented by consulting on L1 architecture, tokenomics, and private network setup. It is used by teams launching new Avalanche L1s, developers automating node operations, and organizations building private blockchain networks.

## Products

- [Ash Managed L1s](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Managed L1s is a managed hosting service for Avalanche L1 blockchain deployments, handling validator node provisioning and maintenance across multiple cloud providers or on user-supplied hardware. The service bundles a customized block explorer, a load-balanced public RPC endpoint, round-the-clock monitoring and alerting, and multi-signature wallet integration for the deployed network. Organizations launching a dedicated Avalanche L1 use it to avoid operating infrastructure themselves, with optional add-ons such as cross-chain bridge hosting and blockchain data indexing. Both testnet and mainnet hosting tiers are offered. (Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), Live, Main Product)
- [Ash Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Wallet is a multi-signature wallet built on shared Safe smart-account infrastructure for Avalanche L1 networks and the Avalanche C-Chain. It lets teams create or import multi-signature accounts, manage signers, and connect to decentralized applications to authorize transactions collectively. The wallet is used for treasury management and critical operations across multiple Avalanche L1 networks through a single interface. (Multi-Sig Wallet, Live)
- [Ash Console](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Console was a web-based platform for developing and operating Avalanche L1 networks on user-owned cloud infrastructure across major cloud providers. It supported validator management, Subnet and blockchain creation, monitoring dashboards, and a customized block explorer for each network. The platform was offered as a free open beta, after which it was superseded by a managed hosting offer. (Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), Inactive/Support Ended)
- [Ash Toolkit](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Toolkit is an open-source developer tooling collection for Avalanche node operators and Subnet or L1 developers. It comprises an automation collection for provisioning and managing Avalanche nodes and blockchains, a command-line interface for interacting with and exploring Avalanche networks, and an underlying software library used to build custom Avalanche tooling. Node operators and developers use the toolkit to automate deployment, configuration, and monitoring tasks rather than performing them manually. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [Ash Token (ASH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): ASH is the governance token of the Ash protocol. It is used to reward stakers in the Ash community pool and to participate in Ash DAO governance on Avalanche. Holders stake ASH to receive veASH, granting proportional voting power over Subnet validation allocation and node operator elections. (Governance)
- [ashAVAX (ASHAVAX)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): ashAVAX is a liquid staking token representing AVAX staked within the Ash protocol. It is used to earn staking rewards from Avalanche node validation, including AVAX returns, ASH emissions, and Subnet-native tokens, while maintaining liquidity. Tokens are minted at a one-to-one ratio upon AVAX deposit in the Ash community pool and burned upon withdrawal. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [veASH (VEASH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): veASH is a governance token of the Ash protocol derived from staked ASH. It is used to vote in the Ash DAO on Subnet validation allocation and the election of node operators on Avalanche. Holders receive veASH by staking ASH, enabling them to direct the protocol's validation resources across Avalanche Subnets. (Governance)
