AERE Network, a public EVM Layer 1 (Chain ID 2800) whose economics are immutable by code
AERE is a public, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain running Hyperledger Besu with QBFT
consensus and 0.5-second deterministic finality. Its monetary policy is
sealed in code: a 37.5% base-fee burn is routed to a burn vault with
no admin, no upgrade proxy, and no withdrawal path, so no operator can
redirect or reverse it. Supply is fixed at 2,800,000,000 AERE with zero
insider unlocks. Alongside the base chain, AERE runs an on-chain
compliance-and-privacy verification layer: a sanctions-enforcing privacy
pool, zero-knowledge KYC attributes, and Travel Rule commitments. Every capability below
maps to a contract address you can call on chain 2800. This is the chain no one can rug.
Decentralization is honest and in progress: 5 Foundation validators today, with a
public path to 7 then 21. Throughput scales toward a
273,000 TPS testnet benchmark as the multi-layer roadmap lands; today the
network delivers 0.5s finality and sub-cent fees. Full methodology is on the benchmarks page.
Live in production on chain 2800
- 0.5s deterministic finality, Hyperledger Besu QBFT, no re-orgs by construction.
- Immutable base-fee burn, 37.5% routed to AereFeeBurnVault (
0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6); stateless sink, no admin, no withdraw.
- Passkey account abstraction, ERC-4337 v0.7 WebAuthn smart accounts (FIPS 186-4 ECDSA on the NIST P-256 curve, the same curve used in government/PIV smart cards), plus ERC-4337 paymasters for gasless onboarding.
- USDC.e, bridged via Hyperlane Warp Route with an end-to-end reserve invariant.
- Lending engine, isolated single-pair money market, live and proven end-to-end (supply / deposit / borrow / repay transactions on-chain).
- Compliant privacy pool, Privacy Pools + Travel Rule hybrid; OFAC-sanctioned addresses cannot exit through the pool (AereCompliancePool
0x79735c31F289F7A4d6Be3E02aaB70B544796D41d).
- Zero-knowledge KYC attributes, SP1 Groth16 screening verifier on AereZKScreen (
0x3A097A459FD26aC79573aCB5adB51430e473C2f1), with proof-root binding.
