Transactions per second achievable on an Aventus appchain. Handling high-volume workloads.
Your business on its own chain.
An Aventus Enterprise Appchain gives you a custom blockchain shaped to your business logic with speed and performance built-in.
Your runtime, your token, your governance. Deployed by Chain Reactor and ready to plug into Aventus Cloud for decentralised compute.
What is an appchain?
A custom blockchain, built around your business needs.
An appchain is a blockchain with your business logic embedded directly into it, fine-tuned for the speed, finality, privacy, security, and compliance your use case actually needs.
Aventus Enterprise Appchains are built on Substrate, a framework where your runtime is written in Rust as modular components called pallets, then compiled to Wasm and stored on-chain.
The benefit: compose your chain from pre-built pallets, write any custom ones you need, and upgrade the runtime later without coordinating hard forks.
Fees
~$0.01
Typical transaction fees are predictable and low enough to enable consumer-scale flows.
Block time
<6s
Fast finality for dApps. Can be tuned further for more speed if needed.
Uptime
100%
Mainnet uptime in production since 2019. Live on Predictor Network and Energy Web.
The three priorities
Every enterprise asks these three questions before going onchain.
01Liquidity
"How do I move value in and out without trapping it on my chain?"
Your appchain plugs into the Aventus ecosystem's existing bridge architecture and AVT liquidity from day one.
- The same trust-minimised bridge Aventus runs between AvN and Ethereum, which has carried more than 7.5 million Energy Web tokens with no interruption
- AVT listed on Coinbase, MEXC, Gate, and Uniswap
- Direct access to the liquidity already flowing through the wider Aventus ecosystem
02Onchain users
"How do I reach users who already transact onchain?"
Aventus already underpins large user bases in enterprise Web3:
- Energy Web, with production enterprise solutions involving Deloitte, Shell, and EDF
- Enigmatic Smile and Voucher Ledger, reaching 12 million customers across 11 countries
- Predictor Network, with 30,000 validator nodes and 50 million eyeballs on its inaugural prediction market
03Custom logic
"How do I encode my actual business, rather than approximate it in smart contracts?"
Substrate lets you write your business rules directly into the runtime as Rust pallets. The Aventus team has open-sourced its codebase, making it free for anyone to compose, fork, and re-use.
Aventus vs OP Stack vs Arbitrum Orbit
How appchains compare to rollups
| Dimension | Aventus Enterprise Appchain | OP Stack | Arbitrum Orbit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Custom business logic, regulated workflows, real world enterprise use cases | Ethereum-aligned L2s with deep EVM liquidity and fast time to market | Custom L2 and L3 chains with EVM compatibility and Arbitrum's fraud-proof security |
| Runtime language | Rust (Substrate pallets) | Solidity (EVM) | Solidity (EVM) |
| Decentralised compute layer | Built-in. Plug into Aventus Cloud for decentralised oracle services, summary verification, and custom business logic execution | Not available | Not available |
| Validation model | Sovereign validators or Polkadot parachain (relay-chain shared security) | Settles to Ethereum L1 | Settles to Arbitrum or Ethereum L1 |
| Ongoing cost driver | Validator and infrastructure costs only | L1 data posting fees per transaction | L1 data posting fees per transaction |
| Customisation depth | Runtime-level. Forkless upgrades, custom pallets, custom fee models | Standard rollup config (gas token, ordering, bridge methodology) | Standard rollup config (Rollup or AnyTrust modes) |

Why Choose Substrate and Rust?
A technical foundation built for real world businesses.
Upgrade without forks
Your appchain's logic is stored on-chain as Wasm (the same compact, fast-executing format that runs in modern web browsers). You upgrade your runtime the way you upgrade a service, without hard forks or coordinated node updates. Iterate on production chains the same way you iterate on production software.
Compose from open source
Pallets are reusable runtime modules written in Rust, each handling one piece of chain behaviour like staking, governance, token transfers, or your own business logic. The Aventus team has shipped more than 17 production pallets and open-sourced its full stack under the AventusDAO GitHub organisation. Compose, fork, audit, or contribute back.
Choose your security model
Your appchain can run its own validators as a sovereign chain, or join Polkadot as a parachain to inherit relay-chain security. Whichever you choose, you can plug into Aventus Cloud for decentralised compute, oracle services, and watchtower verification on top. The right model depends on the workload and the threat model you are designing against.
Your own Ethereum bridge
Every Aventus appchain can have its own Ethereum bridge, built on the same architecture as the Aventus Bridge. The bridge is fully audited by QuillAudits, supports AVT and any supported ERC-20 token, and gives your users a single app for moving value in and out of your chain.
Launch an Appchain in 30 minutes…
Aventus designs the chain. Chain Reactor deploys it. You own it.
Aventus partners with Chain Reactor, a leading deployment platform for Substrate appchains, to take you from idea to production-grade chain in weeks rather than months.
