AERE Network, the non-custodial EVM Layer 1 for settlement
AERE (Chain ID 2800) is a public, EVM-compatible Layer 1 built on Hyperledger Besu with QBFT consensus. The burn takes 37.5% of the validator reward, a Foundation-set rate hard-capped at 50%, and sends it to destinations with no admin key, no upgrade proxy, and no Foundation withdrawal path. It is not a base-fee burn and not a cut of gas fees, and the chain is not deflationary today. It offers 0.5-second deterministic finality, sub-cent fees, and a fixed 2.8 billion supply with zero insider unlocks.
Live on Chain 2800
- 0.5-second deterministic QBFT finality, zero re-orgs by construction
- Sealed 37.5% burn of the validator reward, not the base fee, no admin and no proxy on the destination
- Passkey-native account abstraction (ERC-4337 v0.7 with WebAuthn secp256r1)
- USDC.e via Hyperlane Warp Route, isolated Wave-1 lending markets
- On-chain compliance and privacy: sanctions-enforcing privacy pool, zero-knowledge KYC attributes, Travel Rule
- Every capability maps to a contract address you can call
Throughput scales toward a 273,000 TPS design ceiling as the multi-layer roadmap lands. That number is a design target implied by the block parameters; it has never been measured on mainnet and no benchmark reproduces it. AERE runs 7 Foundation validators today (f=2, quorum 5-of-7), with a published path to 21. Read the whitepaper and the benchmark methodology.
