Apertum vs Polygon

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.

Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being MATIC. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
