02Chain ID
Chain ID 2786 — add Apertum to your wallet
One number your wallet needs. Add it once and every app on Apertum is a click away — same addresses, same keys, APTM for gas.
Wallet detection runs in your browser.

Asked.
Answered.
Is Apertum EVM-compatible?
Yes. Apertum runs unmodified Subnet-EVM, so Solidity contracts, Hardhat, Foundry, viem/ethers and wallets such as MetaMask, Rabby, Brave and Xova work as they do on Ethereum.
What are the chain ID and RPC?
Chain ID 2786 (0xae2). RPC: https://rpc.apertum.io/ext/bc/YDJ1r9RMkewATmA7B35q1bdV18aywzmdiXwd9zGBq3uQjsCnn/rpc. Currency APTM with 18 decimals. Explorer: explorer.apertum.io.
How fast is finality?
A new block about every 2.2 seconds. Avalanche Snowman++ consensus makes accepted blocks final — no probabilistic waiting.
Is Apertum a Layer 2?
No. Apertum is a sovereign Avalanche L1 (not a Layer-2 or rollup), confirmed by CertiK in December 2025.
Is there a public testnet?
A public testnet is not available at the moment. The Contracts Wizard deploys straight to mainnet with low fees; reach the team via X (@Apertum_io) for testnet access.
Ship whereit’s final.
Add chain 2786, point your toolchain at the public RPC and deploy — every block is final the moment it lands, about every 2.2 seconds.
