aelf vs Apertum

aelf is primarily a multi-chain parallel computing blockchain network which was created to address several of the limitations of traditional blockchain systems, such as performance bottlenecks and data complexity. aelf's vision is to be a 'Linux Ecosystem' equivalent for a blockchain that incorporates state-of-the-art IT design principles, which in particular allows developers to customise Chains to meet their own needs.

Apertum distinguishes itself with a unique combination of features designed for modern technology. Unlike Bitcoin's energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) and Ethereum's evolving scalability solutions, Apertum operates as a subnet of the Avalanche blockchain, providing high scalability and fast transactions. Its virtual mining protocol eliminates the need for physical hardware, making mining accessible to everyone. Additionally, its deflationary mechanism burns up to 50% of transaction fees, ensuring long-term value growth while maintaining fairness and transparency.
