AERE is a live EVM Layer 1. If you can deploy Solidity to Ethereum, you can deploy to AERE, same tools, same workflow, faster blocks, lower fees. Everything you need to go from idea to mainnet is below.

EVM ruleset
Pectra + Fusaka
Consensus
QBFT · 0.5s blocks
EVM ruleset: AERE runs Pectra + Fusaka (both activated 2026-05-31), full functional parity with Ethereum mainnet's current EVM specification. Deploy any Solidity / Vyper code that runs on Ethereum, plus use native EIP-7702 (EOA → smart-account delegation), EIP-2537 (BLS12-381 precompiles), EIP-2935 (historical block hashes), EIP-1153 (transient storage), EIP-5656 (MCOPY), EIP-6780 (SELFDESTRUCT change), and RIP-7951 secp256r1 precompile at 0x100 for native Face ID / Touch ID / Windows Hello / YubiKey signature verification at ~3,500 gas.
Gasless UX out of the box: AERE ships a 5-contract
paymaster stack (deployed 2026-05-31). Users can transact without holding AERE, pay gas in any whitelisted ERC-20 (
AereTokenPaymaster), get a daily free-tx quota by staking AERE (
AereStakeQuotaPaymaster, stake-for-free-tx UX on EVM), or get sponsored as a first-time user (
AereOnboardingPaymaster). dApps deploy their own paymaster via the permissionless
AereAppPaymasterFactory, one call, sponsor your own users.
Cross-chain messaging: AereMessenger is a Hyperlane Mailbox-compatible cross-chain message bus (ECDSA-multisig Interchain Security Module). Apps call
dispatch(destDomain, recipient, body) to send arbitrary payloads to any registered chain.
AereIGP handles outbound gas fees. Built to be drop-in compatible with the public Hyperlane validator network once AERE is added to the Hyperlane registry, same contracts, same signature scheme, same Warp Route token-bridge pattern. For typed token bridging, deploy an
AereWarpRoute per asset (collateral on the source chain, synthetic on AERE).
Intent-based cross-chain UX: AereSpokePool is an Across-v3-compatible SpokePool, users sign an intent ("I want X on AERE, charge me Y from any chain") and a solver delivers in ~30 seconds. No multi-step bridge UX.
AereERC7683 implements the ERC-7683 IOriginSettler standard, so UniswapX, Across, CoW Protocol, 1inch Fusion, and any other intent-aggregator can route orders to AERE through a single uniform interface. Permissionless solver participation, anyone can fill intents and earn the spread.
Pyth-compatible pull oracle: AerePyth implements Pyth Network's IPyth interface, apps written against the canonical Pyth SDK work unchanged on AERE. Publisher-signed pull updates: callers include a recent attestation as calldata; the contract verifies threshold signatures and serves the price within the same transaction.
AereOracleAdapter exposes a unified
quote(symbol) interface that routes Pyth → legacy AereOracle fallback, so existing dApps keep one address and one signature while the underlying source migrates. When AERE is added to the public Pyth network, the same contracts accept Guardian-set signatures without redeploy.
Verifiable randomness (drand): AereRandomnessBeacon is a permissionless drand beacon consuming the Quicknet chain (3-second period, threshold-BLS-signed by the League of Entropy: Cloudflare, EPFL, Protocol Labs, U.S. Naval Research Lab, and ~15 other independent organisations). Any dApp that needs randomness, lotteries, NFT trait reveals, fair-launch token sales, on-chain games, randomized airdrops, fetches the canonical drand signature for any round (free at api.drand.sh) and submits it via
submitRound(round, signature). Consumers pay their own gas.
AereDrandConsumer is a reference contract showing the integration pattern. Zero Foundation infrastructure, fully permissionless.
Deflationary fee burn: AereCoinbaseSplitter atomically routes validator coinbase rewards:
37.5% to AereFeeBurnVault (permanent destruction, no withdraw, no admin), 62.5% back to the validator. Whitepaper §3.3 "up to 37.5% of all transaction fees are permanently obliterated" is now measurable in real time via
splitter.totalBurned() and the vault's on-chain balance. Each validator runs a small forwarder daemon that sweeps coinbase into the splitter periodically. As gas volume grows (consumer apps, dApps, paymasters, intent bridging), the burn outpaces emissions, AERE becomes net deflationary.
Developers get paid: AereFeeMonetizationV2 pays you AERE for every transaction that touches your registered contract. Call
register(contractAddr, payoutAddr), receive an ERC-721 NFT representing your fee stream, and earn
20% of all gas fees users pay to your contract. The NFT is transferable, sell your fee stream on AereNFTMarketplace, fractionalise it, collateralise it. On AERE, developers get paid for the work their code does, directly from the gas their contracts generate. Plus 5% of every gas fee goes to the AERE Foundation treasury automatically. No grants application, no token launch, no user surcharge.
Touch ID / Face ID wallets: AERE chain 2800 has native passkey wallet support via the Fusaka RIP-7951 secp256r1 precompile.
AerePasskeyAccountFactory deploys CREATE2 smart accounts whose only signer is a WebAuthn passkey (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, YubiKey, EU Digital Identity Wallet). On-chain WebAuthn verification costs ~6,900 gas per signature (vs ~250k gas for pure-Solidity P-256 verifiers). End-to-end test verified at block 2,157,502.

Native zk-proof verification: AERE chain 2800 deploys the canonical
SP1VerifierGateway (Succinct Labs v6.x Groth16 + Plonk) and
RiscZeroVerifierRouter (RISC Zero zkVM). Verify any SP1 or RISC Zero proof in ~250-300k gas on real BN254 precompiles. Wrap with
AereProofRegistry for permissionless program registration + permanent on-chain attestation. Future SP1 v7+ / RISC Zero v2+ versions plug in via
addRoute with zero dApp migration.

MEV-resistant batch DEX: AereSettlement is a batch-auction settlement contract, users sign EIP-712 orders off-chain (no gas), an authorised solver collects open orders, finds a uniform clearing price per token pair, and submits the batch atomically.
The entire batch executes in one transaction, so no one can sandwich it: a single uniform price applies to every order in the batch. Coincidence-of-wants matching between orders pays zero AMM fee.
AereVaultRelayer proxies token allowances;
AereSolverRegistry manages the solver set. Phase 2 adds permissionless bonded solver entry.
AERE mainnet is live. The genesis was re-executed on 2026-05-07 establishing a 2.8 billion AERE supply. System contracts, including the staking module, governance DAO, NFT registry, oracle, and identity attestation system, are deployed and operational. You are building on a running chain, not a testnet.
Learn → Build → Launch
1
Step one
Learn the chain
Read the
documentation to understand the network architecture, system contracts, and development environment setup. Add AERE to MetaMask using Chain ID 2800 and RPC
https://rpc.aere.network. Get testnet AERE from the
faucet to experiment without cost.
2
Step two
Build your project
Deploy contracts using Hardhat or Foundry pointed at the AERE RPC. Use the
AERE SDK for front-end integration or chain-specific helpers. Consult the
RPC & API reference for the JSON-RPC method list, indexer API endpoints, and WebSocket event subscriptions. Verify deployed contracts on the
block explorer.
3
Step three
Launch and grow
Deploy to mainnet. Apply for a
developer grant if your project contributes to the ecosystem, no equity, no token claw-backs. The AERE source is open on
github.com/aerenetwork (aere-contracts, aere-sdk, aere-docs, aere-examples), publish your own source to build credibility with the community. The Foundation is available via the repository issue tracker for integration support.
