peaq vs Apertum

peaq is the decentralized Web3 network powering the Economy of Things. Built with Substrate and designed to solve some of our biggest societal and economic challenges, it ensures that the incentives of people and increasingly intelligent machines are aligned.

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.
