Apertum, a Layer-1 network that offers high speed and scalability for the development and deployment of DApps (decentralized applications), today announced a strategic partnership with Alchemy Pay, a global payment gateway that connects cryptocurrency with traditional finance to facilitate efficient transactions for customers, merchants, and businesses worldwide. This collaboration enabled Apertum to launch its native token (APTM) in Alchemy’s hybrid crypto-fiat payment gateway to advance the crypto asset’s market accessibility to global users.
Apertum, a Layer-1 protocol built on the Avalanche blockchain, is designed to enable Web3 developers to scale decentralized applications and deploy smart contracts without sophisticated coding. The Layer-1 network is a new blockchain whose mainnet launch took place on January 30, 2025, while its native token (APTM) officially debuted on February 19, 2025, and its token listing on CEXs (centralized exchanges) occurred in March that year.
Apertum Bridges APTM With Alchemy’s On-and-Off-Ramp Solution
The partnership above enabled Apertum to combine its native cryptocurrency (APTM) with Alchemy Pay’s global fiat-crypto payment gateway, an integration that is set to enable worldwide users across over 170 countries to access the digital asset directly using local fiat currencies through Alchemy Pay’s seamless on-ramp solution.
Alchemy Pay is a payment gateway platform that efficiently connects cryptocurrency with global fiat currencies for users, businesses, and developers. Its on-and-off ramp solution is integrated with Web3 platforms and decentralized applications across all digital asset sectors, including CEXs, DEXs, DeFi, NFT SocialFi, and gaming marketplaces, including others, offering a user-friendly environment for crypto and fiat currency interactions.
Alchemy Pay supports various fiat currency payments across 173 countries, supported by Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay, bank transfers, and mobile wallets. The Singapore-based payment platform operates globally and is integrated with leading blockchains like Ethereum, BNBChain, TRON, Polygon, and Arbitrum.
The collaboration above means Apertum’s platform is now live on Alchemy Pay’s fiat-crypto on-ramp, an integration that allows customers across the world to buy, sell, and trade the APTM token using their local fiat currencies through familiar payment methods like Google Pay, Apple Pay, Mastercard, Visa, and local bank transfers and mobile wallets.
Enhancing Global Web3 Applications Accessibility
The strategic integration above enabled Apertum to connect its Layer-1 network with Alchemy Pay’s global fiat payment rails to advance its cryptocurrency market accessibility. With the integration, the platform aims to strengthen the asset’s appeal to a wider customer base, including users without prior crypto experience, and at the same time, motivate Web3 developers to interact with its Layer-1 blockchain to build DApps effectively.
As the demand for efficient access to blockchain networks continues to advance, the collaboration between Apertum and Alchemy is set to play a crucial role in advancing real-world cryptocurrency adoption and allowing more developers and customers to benefit from Web3 technologies.
