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
- A post-quantum certificate under the block hash. From block 13,014,000 every 32nd block carries, inside the hashed part of its header, a 32-byte digest binding Falcon-512 seals from at least three of the nine validators, so the certificate cannot be stripped or altered without changing the block hash. Consensus signing itself remains classical secp256k1 ECDSA: this binds a post-quantum certificate into the chain, it does not make block production post-quantum.
- An account that authorizes purely post-quantum, verifying through the native Falcon-512 precompile with no classical fallback. Live on chain since 2026-08-09.
- 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 9 Foundation validators today (f=2, quorum 6-of-9), with a published path to 21. Read the whitepaper, the benchmark methodology, and the roadmap.
The roadmap states what is being built next and in what order, grouped into twelve areas the network is intended to carry. Everything on it is future work: nothing there is offered as a product today, and the page says so at the top.
