By operating as a subnet of Avalanche, Apertum inherits Avalanche's powerful scalability, speed, and security features. This integration enables Apertum to handle high transaction volumes without congestion, achieve near-instant transaction finality, and benefit from Avalanche’s robust fault tolerance. Additionally, Avalanche's interoperability allows Apertum to support seamless cross-chain transactions, making it ideal for users who require a versatile, secure, and efficient blockchain ecosystem.

The Apertum Foundation oversees governance, research, and ecosystem development to ensure Apertum’s sustainability and growth. It manages 100 million pre-minted APT tokens allocated for marketing, advertising, and protocol advancements. Governance is decentralized, allowing APT token holders to vote on protocol changes, resource allocation, and dispute resolution. The Foundation also drives innovation by fostering partnerships, upgrading protocols, and enabling new use cases for the Apertum ecosystem.

The halving mechanism reduces mining rewards by half every 125 million blocks (approximately every 4 years). This controlled distribution ensures a steady decrease in the issuance of new tokens, creating scarcity over time. Combined with the deflationary mechanism that burns up to 50% of transaction fees, the halving helps drive the long-term value of APT tokens, incentivizing early participation and ensuring sustainable growth.
