Powered by Zeeve, the new mainnet solves the oldest problem in Web3: The requirement to hold one asset just to move another.

For fifteen years, the promise of blockchain as a global settlement layer has collided with a single, stubborn barrier: Cognitive Load. In the traditional financial world, payment is a seamless action. You swipe, and the cost is absorbed or deducted from the asset you are spending. 

In Web3, that logic breaks. To move USDC, you need ETH. To move a token on a subnet, you need the native coin. It is the equivalent of trying to pay for a coffee with a Visa card, only to be told the transaction fee must be paid in gold dust that you are required to carry separately.

For institutional adoption, this is an annoyance. It creates accounting challenges, complicates custody, and creates a barrier to entry for every user who doesn’t speak crypto.

MakaChain is solving this. The MakaChain mainnet is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built on Avalanche and orchestrated by Zeeve. It is the first chain engineered with a specific economic directive: On MakaChain, the gas token is whatever you have in your wallet.

The End of Gas Anxiety

MakaChain is a payment rail designed to make the blockchain invisible.

By leveraging a custom Virtual Machine (VM) on Avalanche L1, MakaChain has changed the rules of transaction settlement.

  •  Universal Gas: Users pay fees in the same token they are transferring. Sending USDC? The fee is a fraction of that USDC. The protocol handles the swap, the burn, and the validator payment in the backend.
  • Economic Certainty: In a market defined by volatility, MakaChain offers stability. Transaction fees are fixed at $0.10 USD. There is no approximate, no variable fees based on congestion. Everything is fixed.

This changes the blockchain from a speculative environment into a predictable business environment.

 “We built MakaChain because the current model of ‘native gas’ is fundamentally hostile to mass adoption. We have been in this space since 2013, and we’ve seen projects fail simply because the onboarding friction was too high,We didn’t want to build just another chain; we wanted to build a solution where the technology gets out of the way. You transact, it settles, and the fee is always ten cents. We are here to offer the security of blockchain with the user experience of a credit card.”

said Chad Barron, Co-Founder of Makachain

Why MakaChain Choose Avalanche L1? 

To achieve this level of economic abstraction, MakaChain needed more than a smart contract; they needed control over the physics of the chain itself.

A shared Layer 1 or a standard Layer 2 could not support a hard-coded, fixed USD fee structure or a protocol-level auto-swap for gas. Avalanche L1 provided the architectural freedom to build a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) network with a unique Failsafe mechanism. 

This ensures institutional-grade compliance and allows validators to pause the network in the event of critical external threats. This feature was demanded by the most cautious enterprise partners but rarely found in today’s decentralized systems.

Why Zeeve? 

A payment network that promises the reliability of Visa cannot run on sub-standard infrastructure. It requires a foundation that is resilient, monitored, and professionally managed.

MakaChain codeveloped with Zeeve to deploy and manage the network’s physical infrastructure through the Cogitus platform. Zeeve’s role went beyond deployment; they engineered the operational environment that allows MakaChain to function as a financial rail.

  •  Zero-Latency RPCs: Dedicated endpoints ensure that when a user clicks “pay,” the network responds instantly.
  •  Validator Orchestration: Zeeve manages the validator set 24/7, ensuring the PoA consensus remains perfectly synced and secure.
  •  TraceHawk Transparency: The network integrates the TraceHawk block explorer, providing a real-time, granular view of the blockchain state—essential for the transparency required by enterprise auditors.

“When you strip away the hype, blockchain is infrastructure. And infrastructure must be boringly reliable, MakaChain is changing the economic logic of how gas fees are paid. To do that, the underlying machinery must be flawless. We deployed a managed Avalanche L1 environment that guarantees uptime and performance, so the MakaChain team can focus on their mission: fixing payments.

said Dr. Ravi Chamria, Co-founder & CEO of Zeeve

When a user pays a fee in a stablecoin, the protocol splits it: 50% to the Maka Foundation for growth, 40% to validators for the first year, then to 25%.  After the first year, 15% will stay with the foundation, 7% burned to reduce supply, and 3% to liquidity reinforcement. This happens automatically, creating a deflationary, self-sustaining economy that strengthens as volume grows.

The infrastructure is live. The friction is gone. The ability to move value without the headache of managing gas tokens is finally a reality.

For the rest of the industry, the question is no longer which chain is faster? It is: Why are we still paying for gas the old way?

Zeeve powers the world’s most ambitious custom Layer 1s and Appchains.
