AERE HTLC

Hashed Timelock Contracts

Coming soon. This feature is built and on the AERE roadmap, its on-chain contracts are not yet deployed. Actions are disabled until launch.

The cryptographic primitive behind Lightning Network, atomic swaps with other chains, submarine swaps, and trustless time-locked escrow. Lock AERE with a hashlock + timeout. The recipient claims by revealing the preimage; if they don't, you get refunded after expiry.

Open a new HTLC

Step 1 · Generate a preimage

Save the preimage privately and share only with the recipient (or share the hashlock publicly and reveal the preimage at claim time).

Step 2 · Lock funds with hashlock + timeout

Recipient address Amount (AERE) Timeout (hours from now)

Claim or Refund existing HTLCs

Claim · I'm the recipient and I have the preimage

HTLC id Preimage (0x... 32 bytes)

Refund · I'm the sender and the timeout has passed

What this enables

Atomic swaps, trade AERE for BTC/ETH/XMR with no trusted intermediary, by mirroring HTLCs on both chains under the same hashlock
Lightning Network primitive, multi-hop payment routing where each hop is its own HTLC; the final preimage propagates back through the path
Submarine swaps, convert on-chain AERE to off-chain Lightning AERE without exposing your routing channel
Time-locked escrow, service payments that auto-refund if the service isn't delivered by a deadline
