W Chain Launches Commercial Network with Industry-Leading Ultra-Low Gas Fees; Appoints Sathya Prakash as Vice President to Drive Strategic Expansion

Global, 15th April 2025, Tuesday – W Chain, a next-generation blockchain ecosystem purpose-built for scale, speed, and sustainability, today announced the official launch of its commercial network. This milestone is marked by a breakthrough gas fee model—setting new standards in affordability and efficiency—along with the strategic appointment of Sathya Prakash as Vice President to spearhead the platform’s expansion across global markets.

Disruptive Economics: 200,000x Cheaper than Ethereum

At the core of W Chain’s value proposition is its ultra-efficient transaction cost structure. With a base gas fee of just 200 Gwei—equating to approximately $0.000005 per transfer—W Chain outpaces leading blockchain networks in affordability:

Ethereum: $1.47
Polygon: $0.0000147
Binance Smart Chain: $0.0525
W Chain: $0.000005

This cost structure is not only transformative for individual users and enterprises; it balances scalability with long-term economic viability.

Leadership Expansion: Sathya Prakash Appointed Vice President

To catalyze further growth, W Chain has appointed Sathya Prakash as Vice President. In his new role, Sathya Prakash will lead the W Chain business, reporting directly to the Board. The appointment is part of a group-wide initiative under which leadership roles will be rotated periodically. This approach is intended to ensure improved management and greater transparency across the group. Sathya Prakash will oversee global operations, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem development. His promotion reflects both his past contributions and the company’s focus on making W Chain practically useful across different industries.

“W Chain’s fee model positions us as the most cost-efficient, scalable blockchain infrastructure in the industry. With Sathya’s leadership, we are confident in our ability to translate this technological advantage into widespread adoption and impact,” said Mr. Anish Jain, Founder and Group CEO.
