How Aeredium works

Aeredium's TEE-attested execution model is technically distinct from most Layer 1s. Start with the architecture, verify it against live testnet data, then check who is actually building it.

Overview What is Aeredium? The TEE-secured Layer 1 explained

Hardware enclaves as validators, 250,000 TPS described on public testnet, July 23 cadence shorthand around 40 blocks/sec and roughly 30ms blocks, flat one-cent mainnet gas, and native settlement across 10 confirmed chains.

 Token AERX tokenomics: supply, vesting, and the 1B hard cap

Every allocation, every vesting schedule, the staking pool mechanics, and why the 10.00% TGE float matters for price discovery.

 Price analysis AERX price prediction 2026–2028: independent analysis

Supply mechanics, comparable Layer 1 launches, and three grounded price scenarios from bear to bull, with assumptions and risks kept visible.

 Testnet Aeredium testnet: live data and what it signals

The public Blockscout explorer is running now. What the block times, transaction counts, and validator activity tell you about mainnet readiness.

 Due diligence Is Aeredium legit? Independent on-chain verification

What can be confirmed on-chain and in public records, what's stated but not yet verifiable, and the checklist serious investors use.

 Team Who is building Aeredium? Public leaders and the roster gap

Albert Dadon AM, Alexander Rees-Evans, and Eitan Katz are public; the wider engineering, security, product, compliance, and decision-making team is not.

 Platform AER360: the four-pillar product platform explained

How AERKey, the threshold wallet, policy engine, and Agent Control Center work as one signing control plane, plus the adoption evidence still missing.

 Custody AERSeal: governed custody for smart-contract powers

The public onboarding, contract-transfer, policy, verification, subscription, and expiry model behind Aeredium's first visible AERKey-powered custody service.

 Security AERKey: Aeredium's threshold signing system, explained

The current AER360 signing pillar, its CGGMP24 threshold model, seedless AERKey Wallet, policy engine, public AERSeal implementation, and evidence still needed for adoption.

 Connectivity AERLink: bank rails, payment APIs, and settlement explained

How Aeredium intends to connect on-chain settlement with banks and fiat infrastructure, how AERLink relates to Kima and AERKey, and why its deployment status remains disputed.

 Compliance AerKYC: privacy-preserving identity and company verification

How AerKYC checks people and companies, its deletion and attestation claims, and its newly documented account-bound role in AERSeal onboarding and recovery.

 Agents AER Police: agent containment for autonomous money movement

Pacts, Triple Gate, MCP tools, kill switches, and ACI—plus the unresolved relationship with AER360's isolated-wallet Agent Control Center.

 Roadmap Aeredium roadmap 2026: what official sources actually confirm

Public testnet is live. July 23 says mainnet/token propagation are still pending and exchange listing is expected by the team at the end of September 2026, with no confirmed venue.

 Staking AERX staking: 0–4% APY, 90-day lock, and what the pool math means

How Aeredium's staking incentive program works: the two APY components, the 100M finite pool, lock rules, and what you give up if you exit early.

Comparisons

Architecture-focused comparisons between Aeredium and other cross-chain infrastructure projects, including trade-offs, evidence, and open questions.

Institutional benchmark Aeredium vs Project Agora: BIS unified ledger vs public trust layer

Project Agora tests tokenised commercial-bank deposits and central-bank reserves. Aeredium is a public TEE-attested L1. The comparison sets the institutional proof bar.

 Comparison Aeredium vs LayerZero: two approaches to cross-chain infrastructure

LayerZero routes messages through DVN operators. Aeredium settles natively inside TEE hardware enclaves. Different layers, different trust assumptions, different markets.

 Comparison Aeredium vs Chainlink: oracle network vs native settlement layer

Chainlink secures $50B+ in DeFi with its oracle network and CCIP messaging. Aeredium settles natively across 10 confirmed chains with TEE hardware. Opposite ends of the stack, overlapping in one place.

 Comparison Aeredium vs Quant: API overlay vs native settlement layer

Quant's Overledger connects blockchains from above via API middleware. Aeredium settles across 10 confirmed chains natively at the protocol level. Both target institutional cross-chain, from opposite ends of the stack.

 Comparison Aeredium vs Wormhole: native settlement vs Guardian-validated messaging

Wormhole relays cross-chain messages through 19 Guardian validators. Aeredium settles natively inside TEE hardware enclaves with no human operators in the validation path. Two different theories of cross-chain trust.

 Comparison Aeredium vs Axelar: two blockchain networks, two theories of cross-chain trust

Both Axelar and Aeredium are full blockchain networks built for cross-chain connectivity. Axelar uses staked validators with TSS signing. Aeredium uses TEE hardware enclaves. The most structurally direct comparison in the space.

Community, airdrop, and KIMA guides

The current Ambassador Program uses a public application form. Genesis Season and the KIMA conversion both use StablePro Wallet but are separate programs with different eligibility and vesting rules; older Genesis ambassador points should not be treated as a current reward guarantee.

Community Aeredium Ambassador Program: application, role, and rewards

Applications are open through a public form. See who Aeredium is seeking, the activities and benefits it names, and why the older 1,000-point reward is not a current guarantee.

 Airdrop AERX Genesis Season: points, KYC, clawbacks, and vesting

A separate public campaign with a 20M AERX pool. See the exact actions, caps, five tiers, listing-day snapshot, and 10:1 conversion rules.

 Background How Kima Network became the foundation of Aeredium

The KIMA cross-chain settlement layer is being migrated into Aeredium's execution stack. July 30 says remaining conversion tokens and rewards were pushed to registered wallets before the cutoff.

 Time-sensitive KIMA token 2026: conversion window, 5:1 swap, and vesting

The July 30 AMA gave the KIMA swap cutoff as July 31, 2026 at midnight / August 1, 2026 00:00 GMT, with no general extension promised. This guide explains the route, points mechanics, and vesting terms.

 Wallet StablePro Wallet: setup, security, and what it can do

The non-custodial consumer wallet, its historical KIMA and Genesis roles, and why it should not be conflated with AER360's custodial, seedless AERKey Wallet.
