# Blockchain Infrastructure

Athlerse embraces cutting-edge Web3 solutions, employing widely-adopted approaches to create a secure and efficient ecosystem.

### **Token and NFT Smart Contracts** <a href="#nfhbiu9tseu9" id="nfhbiu9tseu9"></a>

The main token, $ATHL, is an ERC20 token that will be launched on a chosen EVM-compatible chain, serving as the backbone of Athlerse's ecosystem and tokenomics. The smart contract incorporates advanced security measures to ensure token security, market stability, and economic resilience. These measures include vesting terms, timed unlocks, staking, frontrun protection, bot detection, and more. Additionally, the token will provide certain governance capabilities in the future.

The Athlerse backend is responsible for $ATHL token distribution for periodic rewards and GYM conversions. The smart contract will be coded to limit the impact within a specific range, mitigating potential negative exposure in case the controller keys are ever compromised.

Athlerse will manage a collection of ERC721 and ERC1155 smart contracts, representing various NFTs within the ecosystem, such as club memberships, items, POAPs, and more. Furthermore, the Athlerse marketplace will be powered by specialized smart contracts, ensuring atomic NFT item sales, auctions, and exchanges.

### **Blockchain Selection and Interoperability** <a href="#whyusmxbmevk" id="whyusmxbmevk"></a>

The primary underlying blockchain will be chosen based on factors such as chain finality times, transaction costs, widespread acceptance (e.g., NFT visibility on OpenSea), and ease of interaction for Web3 users (e.g., entering-exiting the chain).

In addition to the primary blockchain powering the Athlerse ecosystem, the platform envisions interoperability with other projects on different blockchains through cross-chain communication methods such as LayerZero cross-chain messaging. This approach will enable seamless collaboration and integration with various blockchain-based solutions, enhancing the overall Athlerse experience for users.
