Public documentation for AERE Network, a non-custodial, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain (chain ID 2800) built on Hyperledger Besu with QBFT consensus. Economics are immutable by code: a sealed 37.5% base-fee burn with no admin, no upgrade proxy, and no withdrawal path, paired with an on-chain compliance-and-privacy verification layer. 0.5-second deterministic finality. Fixed 2.8B AERE supply. Every capability maps to a contract address you can call.
| Document | What it covers |
|---|---|
| WHITEPAPER.md | The full whitepaper v2.0: consensus, tokenomics + burn engine, governance, sAERE / AereProof / AERE402, roadmap, and risk disclosures. |
| ARCHITECTURE.md | A high-level, honest map of the chain, account model, settlement/sink, compliance, zk + post-quantum stack, and cross-chain rails. |
| ADDRESSES.md | The canonical deployed-contract registry on chain 2800, grouped by domain, with a copy-paste eth_getCode verification example. |
| llms.txt | Concise machine-readable summary of the network for LLMs and agents. |
| llms-full.txt | Full machine-readable reference (the whitepaper and status in plain text). |

Confirm any deployed contract yourself with eth_getCode (see ADDRESSES.md).
- Consensus: Hyperledger Besu QBFT, 0.5s deterministic finality, no re-orgs by construction.
- Validators: 3 Foundation-operated nodes today, with a public path to 7 then 21. The network is not yet decentralised; this is stated plainly.
- Throughput: 0.5s finality and sub-cent fees today. The 273,000 TPS figure is a testnet-benchmark ceiling / roadmap target, not current mainnet throughput.
- Supply: 2,800,000,000 AERE fixed at genesis-v2 (2026-05-07), zero insider unlocks, allocation public.
- Rug-proofing: every user-funds primitive is deployed with no admin withdrawal path, no upgrade proxy, and no pause on liquidations.
Where a capability is a research prototype, a testnet ceiling, or a legal position rather than settled fact, it is labeled as such throughout these docs.
- aere-contracts: Solidity source for the deployed contracts referenced in ADDRESSES.md.
- aere-sdk: TypeScript SDK with the canonical
addresses.ts, ABIs, and typed clients for integrating against chain 2800.
