◆  WHAT IS APEROD?  ◆

Aperod is a high-throughput, privacy-preserving Layer-1 blockchain built from scratch in Go. Every transaction hides the sender, receiver, and amount using RingCT (Ring Confidential Transactions) — re-engineered on a high-speed BFT Proof-of-Stake (BFT-PoS) consensus backbone with 3-second block finality.

Designed as a native privacy and micro-settlement layer for Telegram Mini-Apps and Web3 games, Aperod combines battle-tested cryptography with client-side security via its dedicated WASM SDK.

This is not a fork. Not a rebranded EVM chain. Not a layer-2 wrapper. Aperod is an original Layer-1 protocol engineered for privacy, speed, and real-world ecosystem integration.

◆  CORE FEATURES  ◆

🔒  Unconditional Transaction Privacy
Every UTXO on Aperod is private. Ring signatures (MLSAG, ring size 16) hide which input is being spent. Pedersen commitments and Bulletproof-style range proofs hide the amount. One-time stealth addresses hide the receiver. Even a node operator with full chain access cannot link a transaction to its participants.

⚡  BFT Proof-of-Stake — 3-Second Instant Finality
Blocks are produced and validated across a high-performance BFT-PoS validator set with deterministic single-slot finality. No 60-block confirmations. No re-org risks. Micro-transactions settle in under 3 seconds.

🔥  Deflationary Value Capture (EIP-1559)
Aperod implements a dynamic base fee mechanism where 100% of the base transaction fee is permanently burned. As adoption across Telegram Mini-Apps grows, fee burns directly offset block rewards, driving long-term deflation.

📱  Telegram Mini-Apps & WASM Security
Integrated with a high-performance WASM SDK for zero-knowledge key management inside Telegram Mini-Apps and Web3 browser environments without exposing private keys to remote servers.

🔑  Dual-Key Architecture
Aperod wallets feature two independent keys: a spend key (required to transfer funds) and a view key (read-only auditing). Share your view key with an accountant or regulator to prove compliance without granting spending access.

🔐  Independent Security Audit — Completed
Aperod's cryptographic core was audited by Gh0stAnts Security Research. Critical and high findings have been resolved and published. The full report is available at explorer.aperod.com/security-reports.

◆  CRYPTOGRAPHIC DESIGN  ◆

Why RingCT over zk-SNARKs?
Ring signatures are battle-tested, require no trusted setup, and are verifiable by any node without specialized hardware. Aperod chose MLSAG for its proven security properties and auditability over newer proof systems carrying trusted-setup risks.

Ring Signature Scheme

Code:

Spend UTXO U_real
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Ring:  [ U_decoy1, U_decoy2, ... U_real, U_decoy16 ] │
│ Key image: I = x · Hp(P)  ← one-time, unspendable    │
│ Signature proves: "one of these UTXOs is being       │
│ spent" — without revealing which one                 │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
On-chain: key image I is stored permanently
→ double-spend impossible, identity stays hidden

Stealth Address Protocol

Code:

Sender generates r (random scalar)
R = r·G  (transmitted in tx)

One-time pub key:
P_out = Hs(r·B) · G + D
        └────────────┘
        shared secret  (receiver's spend pubkey component)

Only the owner of B (view key) can recognize P_out as theirs.
To any observer: P_out looks like a random point.

◆  RUNNING A VALIDATOR NODE  ◆

The Aperod validator binary is open source. Requirements: Linux x86-64, 4 GB RAM minimum (8 GB recommended), 100 GB SSD, static IP.

1. Build from source

Code:

git clone https://github.com/aperod-network/aperod-node.git
cd aperod-node
make build
# Binary: ./build/aperod-node

2. Minimal node.yaml

Code:

network: mainnet
data_dir: /opt/aperod/data

consensus:
  validator_key: /opt/aperod/validator.key
  reward_address: "your-aperod-address"
  block_time: "3s"

api:
  enabled: true
  listen_addr: "127.0.0.1:8545"

pruning:
  mode: light          # strips old RingCT data, saves ~70% disk
  keep_blocks: 200000  # ≈ 6.5 days of full history

3. Generate validator key

Code:

./build/aperod-node --generate-validator-key --data-dir /opt/aperod/data

4. Run as systemd service

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Aperod Blockchain Node
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/aperod-node --config /etc/aperod/node.yaml
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
User=aperod
Environment=GOMEMLIMIT=5905580032

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Light node (observer/relay) — no validator key required:
Simply omit consensus.validator_key in node.yaml. The node will sync the full chain and serve API requests without participating in block production.

◆  TOKENOMICS & DEFLATION  ◆

Max Supply: 10,000,000,000 APRO (Hardcap)
Circulating Supply Inflation: ~7.97% p.a. average vesting release over 11 years (132 months).
Net Supply Dynamics: EIP-1559 base-fee burning continuously reduces circulating supply based on Telegram Mini-App transaction volume.

Allocation	Share	Amount	Vesting Schedule
Community & Ecosystem	40%	4,000,000,000 APRO	100% unlocked at TGE
Strategic Reserve	27%	2,700,000,000 APRO	36 months linear vesting
Faucet & Staking	20%	2,000,000,000 APRO	120 months linear vesting
Team & Development	10%	1,000,000,000 APRO	12-month cliff, 120 months linear
Initial Liquidity	3%	300,000,000 APRO	100% unlocked at TGE

Aperod Has Fully Migrated from MLSAG to CLSAG v5

Aperod has officially completed its migration to CLSAG v5. The update was activated on the mainnet at block 1,769,500.

This is not just a change in the cryptographic protocol's name. It is a major reinforcement of user transaction protection, privacy, and overall network resilience.


What Does this Mean for the Aperod User?

• RingCT transaction privacy
  Transaction amounts are hidden using cryptographic commitments and range proofs. At the same time, the network can verify that no new coins are created out of thin air and that the transaction balance is completely correct.
  
  
• CLSAG v5 replaced MLSAG
  CLSAG preserves sender privacy among decoy inputs while making signatures much more compact and efficient to verify. New Aperod privacy transactions no longer use MLSAG.
  
  
• Double-spend protection
  Key images allow the network to block the reuse of the same output without revealing which specific input was the real one.
  
  
• Stealth outputs
  Receivers do not publish a single permanent on-chain output. A new one-time output is generated for every transaction, making it exponentially harder to link payments back to a user's address.
  
  
• Commitment binding & pseudo-output balance
  Inputs, outputs, and fees are bound cryptographically. It is mathematically impossible to alter transaction amounts, create extra coins, or tamper with the transaction balance undetected.
  
  
• Dynamic base-fee burn
  Fees adjust dynamically based on network load, and the base fee portion is burned. This mitigates spam attacks and creates a transparent mechanism for reducing APRO supply.
  
  
• Permissionless BFT-PoS
  The network does not rely on a single operator or a closed permissioned list of validators. Any participant can verify network state and join the decentralized consensus.
  

CLSAG v5 is already live in production: real transfer and intentional burn transactions have been confirmed by both production nodes with identical block hashes.

Historical transactions remain fully compatible, while all new Aperod privacy operations utilize the upgraded CLSAG v5 format.

More privacy. Stronger cryptographic guarantees. Zero reliance on intermediaries.

RingCT transaction privacy · CLSAG v5 active · Dynamic base-fee burn · Permissionless BFT-PoS
