DeFi on AERE Network
Decentralised exchanges, lending markets, and staking vaults deserve a chain that can keep up. AERE is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for the throughput and cost profile that DeFi actually needs.
AERE runs a live EVM mainnet (Chain ID 2800). Any Solidity contract that deploys on Ethereum, Polygon, or Avalanche deploys on AERE without modification, the same tools, the same ABIs, the same developer workflow.
Why AERE for DeFi
01
Near-instant settlement
AERE reaches transaction finality in approximately one second under normal conditions. For an automated market maker or an on-chain order book, the difference between one-second and twelve-second blocks is not cosmetic, it determines whether arbitrage bots can hold spreads tight and whether liquidation logic fires before a position turns insolvent. Fast blocks keep price discovery honest.
02
Negligible transaction fees
Gas on AERE is denominated in AERE, the native token, and costs are a fraction of a cent per interaction under ordinary load. For protocols where users compound yield, rebalance positions, or vote on governance proposals, actions that fee-sensitive users avoid on high-cost chains, affordable execution changes the product experience entirely. Builders can also design protocols that call multiple contracts in a single transaction without worrying that fees will deter real users.
03
Full EVM compatibility and live infrastructure
AERE ships a live oracle contract (AereOracle) that exposes a median price feed across multiple reporters, a requirement for any lending or derivatives protocol. A block explorer, a public RPC endpoint, and an on-chain indexer API are already operational. A staking contract, governance module, and standard token registry are deployed and auditable. You are not building on a testnet or a fork with missing infrastructure, the chain is live and the core DeFi primitives are in place.
What you can build
The EVM environment means the full design space is open. Common starting points on AERE include automated market makers with custom fee tiers, peer-to-peer lending pools with oracle-driven liquidations using AereOracle price feeds, liquid staking wrappers for AERE itself, yield aggregators that compound positions across multiple protocols, and on-chain governance contracts tied to the AERE DAO module. If it runs on an EVM chain, it runs on AERE.
The AERE developer grants program funds DeFi infrastructure directly. Projects that deploy production-grade AMMs, lending markets, or staking primitives on AERE are eligible for grant funding from the ecosystem treasury as defined in whitepaper §6.2. The grants process is fully public and milestone-based, no equity, no token claw-backs.
