# Aventus DAO

> Aventus is a non-profit DAO building enterprise blockchain infrastructure since 2017. The network powers Aventus Cloud — a community-owned decentralised compute network of approximately 40,000 global nodes — and Aventus Enterprise Appchains, custom blockchains built on Substrate for enterprise. Businesses including Heathrow APH, Energy Web, Enigmatic Smile and Predictor Network have built on Aventus technology.

Aventus runs in three layers:

- **Aventus Cloud** — a decentralised compute network where node operators run a light client to earn AVT (the network token) plus tokens from every appchain that uses the cloud for compute.
- **Enterprise Appchains** — custom Substrate-based blockchains tuned for the speed, finality, privacy, security and compliance a given business needs. Deployed by Chain Reactor; live in production since 2019.
- **AVT** — the Aventus Network Token. Used to pay for compute, to stake on nodes, and to govern the DAO. Listed on Coinbase, MEXC, Gate, Uniswap.

Key facts (verifiable in production):

- Mainnet live since 2019 with 100% uptime.
- 12-second block time on the Aventus network.
- 7.5M+ Energy Web tokens transferred via the Aventus ↔ Ethereum bridge with no interruption.
- 800+ active worker nodes connected to Energy Web X.
- 14,625 AVT distributed daily to active Cloud nodes in Year 1, halving annually.
- Node rewards also include up to 5% of the token supply of every appchain that uses Aventus Cloud.
