Apertum is a Layer‑1 blockchain built on Avalanche. It is EVM-compatible, enabling developers to deploy smart contracts and scale dApps without additional coding.
Apertum blockchain has been launched by the Apertum Foundation on January 30, 2025. Its native token, APTM, was officially launched on February 19, 2025, on Apertum DEX. Its first CEX listing happened on March 17.
Apertum supports fast transactions (0.15–1.50 seconds time-to-finality) and processes over 4,500 TPS. The platform combines Avalanche’s consensus strengths with its own innovations in speed, throughput, and developer usability.
The deflationary token model burns up to 50% of transaction fees to support token scarcity, holder incentives, and sustainable growth.
Governed by a DAO model, Apertum has no VC or institutional backing focusing on organic growth. The ecosystem includes Apertum DEX, Bridge, Contracts Wizard, and other tools.
