Etherlink vs Apertum

Etherlink is an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology. It enables seamless integration with existing Ethereum tools, including wallets and indexers, and facilitates asset transfers to and from other EVM-compatible chains. Built upon the secure foundation of Tezos layer 1, Etherlink delivers a fast, fair, and (nearly) free experience. This permissionless and censorship-resistant environment empowers developers to actively create and participate in the next generation of decentralized applications.

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.
