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

Ash by Suzaku is an infrastructure platform for teams building on Avalanche. Users can deploy managed L1s with hosted block explorers, RPC endpoints, and 24/7 monitoring, secure assets with a Safe-based multi-signature wallet, and automate node operations using an open-source toolkit including an Ansible collection and CLI. Consulting services for L1 architecture design and private blockchain setup are also available.

## Products

- [Ash Managed L1s](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Managed L1s is a fully managed hosting service for Avalanche L1 deployments, providing validator node provisioning and maintenance across multiple cloud providers. The service includes customized Blockscout block explorer instances, load-balanced RPC endpoints via eRPC, 24/7 monitoring and alerting, and integrated multi-sig wallet capabilities. Both testnet and mainnet packages are available, with additional support for bring-your-own-hardware configurations, ICM bridge hosting, and The Graph indexing. (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 Safe shared infrastructure for Avalanche L1 ecosystems. It provides treasury management and multi-party transaction authorization, allowing teams to manage assets across multiple Avalanche L1 networks through a unified Safe-based interface. (Multi-Sig Wallet, Live)
- [Ash Console](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Console was a web-based platform for Avalanche L1 development and operation on user-owned cloud infrastructure. The system supported validator management, subnet and blockchain creation, pre-built monitoring dashboards, and Blockscout block explorer deployment across AWS, GCP, and Azure environments. The open beta ended and the product was superseded by Ash Managed L1s. (Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), Inactive/Support Ended)
- [Ash Toolkit](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ash_by_suzaku): Ash Toolkit is an open-source collection for Avalanche node operators and Subnet developers, comprising the Ansible Avalanche Collection for automated node and subnet deployment, the Ash CLI for command-line network interaction and scripting, and the Ash Rust SDK providing the underlying library for building custom Avalanche tooling. All components are available on GitHub under open-source licenses. (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 (vote-escrowed ASH), 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 1:1 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)
