Monaco, August 23, 2026. Aere Network today launched Aere Cloud, a commercial infrastructure platform on its public Layer-1 (Chain ID 2800): enterprise JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints, managed nodes, a blockchain data API with transfer history indexed back to the chain's earliest blocks, document notarization, and a post-quantum signature verification API whose verdicts are computed by the chain’s own native precompiles rather than by application code, so any answer can be re-checked by anyone against a public endpoint.
The platform’s billing is itself an on-chain product. A subscription is one wallet transaction: payment reaches the network treasury within that same transaction, the service contract holds no funds at any point, and the only thing recorded on chain is the hash of the customer’s API key. The key itself is generated in the customer’s browser and never leaves it, so it cannot be recovered, reset, or stolen from the operator, because the operator never has it. The account console works the same way: signing in is a single wallet signature, verified through the chain’s own ecrecover precompile, with no password and no session database to breach.
The platform’s health and the chain data behind it are public: https://cloud.aere.network/v1/health answers with the current block, the status page shows live service state, and the anchor certificates the data API serves can be recomputed from raw header bytes with the open verifier at aere.network/tools. Every 32nd block on chain 2800 does not finalize without a certificate of at least six of nine valid Falcon-512 validator seals bound under its block hash, enforced since block 14,961,456 (August 21, 2026), and the data API will show you those seals on any anchor you ask for.
In keeping with the project’s practice of publishing capabilities and limits together: all nine validators are operated by the Aere Foundation today, so the chain is not yet decentralized; no completed third-party security audit exists yet; wallet and account infrastructure is offered as beta with its phase-1 limits stated on the page; and until AERE is exchange-listed, paid plans are invoiced in USDC or EUR at the published dollar prices, with on-chain settlement in AERE at a stated reference rate. Each service on the pricing page carries an honest status label, and the pages themselves say what is live, what is beta, and what is not deployed.
Aere Network is a public, EVM-compatible Layer-1 settlement network (Chain ID 2800) built to outlast today’s cryptography: half-second deterministic finality, a fixed token supply of 2.8 billion AERE set at genesis, native NIST post-quantum signature verification, and a post-quantum certificate under every 32nd block hash.

Chain ID 2800. Launch date: August 23, 2026. Platform: aere.network/cloud.html; documentation: aere.network/cloud-docs.html; status: aere.network/cloud-status.html. Post-quantum precompiles live since block 9,189,161. Media: [email protected]. Full media kit at the Press and Media Center.
