APTM Apertum Rank #866

Apertum is a Layer 1 blockchain that operates as a Subnet on Avalanche, designed to host scalable decentralized applications. It uses the Avalanche consensus protocol to deliver high throughput and fast transaction finality, and it features an EVM-compatible architecture that allows Ethereum-based projects and dApps to migrate with minimal friction. Governance of the network is handled through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), giving the community a direct role in decisions about platform development, upgrades, and ecosystem management. This DAO-driven structure emphasizes collaborative input from both users and developers. The native token, APTM, is central to the network's economic model. Transaction fees are partially burned, creating a deflationary pressure that gradually reduces the circulating supply. The total supply is capped at 2.1 billion APTM, with the majority distributed through mining that follows periodic halvings, aiming to keep issuance predictable. Beyond network operations, APTM is used to pay transaction fees and participate in governance activities within the ecosystem.
