Gateway.fm Accelerates Launch of Enterprise-Grade Blockchain Apps
Stavanger, Norway, May 9th, 2025,
Gateway.fm, the decentralized blockchain infrastructure company, has outlined its solution for streamlining the process of launching on-chain projects, making it substantially faster, more affordable, and accessible than before.
Previously, launching an on-chain project that required a dedicated blockchain was a highly complex and time-consuming endeavor, requiring a significant investment either in assembling a highly experienced in-house team or securing an external partner with deep blockchain expertise, both of which come at a premium. It would typically take months to build a custom network, just to meet essential requirements like scalability, throughput, stability, low transaction costs, and processing speed.
Beyond the high upfront development costs, such projects also incurred ongoing expenses for platform maintenance and evolution. These included not only routine technical upkeep but also the need to continuously integrate emerging technologies and deliver regular updates, both crucial to remaining competitive in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
Igor Mandrigin CTPO and Co-founder of Gateway.fm said: “We are making the once complex, expensive, and time-consuming process of launching a dedicated blockchain much faster, more affordable, and accessible to a wide array of enterprises across the industry spectrum.”
The Hidden Complexity Behind Blockchain
In addition to the network itself, launching an on-chain project could require additional infrastructure components to provide the necessary functionality, for instance:
- Block explorer: To view data stored on a blockchain.
- Data availability: To ensure the security and trustlessness of the data on the chain.
- Bridges: To connect the user chain with other blockchains.
- Indexer: To enable comprehensive analytics, facilitate tracking of transaction histories, statuses, and other data.
- Oracle: To deliver real-world data to smart contracts.
- KYC: To comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) laws.
- Account abstraction: To enable consumer-facing, enterprise, and non-crypto-native use cases.
While ready-made solutions for all these functions are available on the market, integrating them effectively requires experienced blockchain developers with the right skillset and knowledge, which can be costly.
And it’s not a one-time investment. Users will need to be prepared to regularly update the integration code, and in some cases, even their application’s code, whenever these third-party services roll out updates. Not to mention the additional ongoing costs associated with using third-party solutions.
Solving Infrastructure Challenges with a Modular, Expert-Led Approach
Instead of building a fully custom blockchain from scratch, Gateway.fm enables the use of existing frameworks to quickly and efficiently launch a dedicated Ethereum-based blockchain tailored to the specific needs of users’ projects, including built-in support for privacy, regulatory compliance, and fine-grained access control essential for enterprise-grade applications and payment solutions.
Thanks to pre-integrated infrastructure components, including both publicly available tools and proprietary solutions developed in-house by Gateway.fm, deploying and configuring a highly customized Layer 2 blockchain is as simple as assembling Lego blocks.
Enterprise-Grade Support Without In-House Hiring
This approach eliminates the need to hire and manage an in-house infrastructure team. Gateway.fm’s top-tier blockchain engineers, including core contributors to Ethereum and Polygon, will manage users’ network at a fraction of the cost it would take to hire talent of comparable expertise directly.
The cost of Gateway’s continuous network monitoring and real-time incident response is equivalent to the average salary of a single mid-level developer without blockchain-specific skills, yet it delivers a level of service far beyond what one developer could achieve alone. This includes not only 24/7 monitoring but also ongoing optimization, upgrades, and maintenance of all network components. Users’ infrastructure is maintained by experts who understand the system inside and out, ensuring that any performance bottlenecks are identified early and resolved efficiently, with scaling handled in the most resource-effective way possible.
Cut Down on Hardware Expenses and Gas Fees
By deploying the chain with Gateway, users only pay for the resources they use. This operates on the same reliable cost-saving principle as cloud computing, there’s no need to buy a full server if users are only utilizing a fraction of its capacity. Users pay only for what they consume, and these expenses will be minimal during the development and testing phases when the network isn’t under heavy load.
The key development centers on enhancing cost-efficiency in processing high volumes of transactions. Gateway’s technology not only matches the throughput of systems like Visa, trusted globally for handling millions of daily payments, but also brings blockchain transaction costs down to a level comparable with traditional Web2 infrastructure, thanks to its cutting-edge hardware optimization.
Speed Up Delivery and Outpace the Competition
Setting up users on-chain project will take minimal time thanks to pre-configured blueprints for various use cases available. Users can leverage existing integrations with payment systems like Visa and Mastercard, while components such as Oracle, Indexer, KYC, and account abstraction are ready to use out of the box. Building the system from pre-integrated modules ensures that users can launch a fully functional application for public use within just a few weeks of starting the project, giving users a significant first-mover advantage over competitors.
This way, Gateway.fm bridges the gap that has long hindered the mass adoption of blockchain technologies by making them affordable, user-friendly, and quick to implement, even for those without deep technical expertise. Established enterprises can now seamlessly transition to Web3, while new startups emerge, driven by the innovative business possibilities that blockchain technology unlocks.
