AERE Academy

Reality check, added 2026-08-19. This course teaches the design. On chain 2800 today: no staking yield is payable (the staking contracts hold no reward balance, so the 8% figure is a parameter, not an income); the governance contracts (AereGovLockV2, AereGovernorV2) are deployed but own no protocol contract yet, so a vote cannot change fees, validators or funds and is advisory; there is no on-chain vesting contract (team, investor and Foundation allocations sit in plain accounts); and an unmodified upstream Hyperledger Besu cannot follow chain 2800, the node software is the aere-node fork with its published patches (post-quantum precompiles since block 9,189,161, the base-fee floor, the header anchor). Nine Foundation-run validators, commit quorum 6 of 9, blocks every ~0.5 s.
