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 on testnet, 2-second finality, and native settlement across 10 confirmed chains. The full architecture from scratch.

Every allocation, every vesting schedule, the staking pool mechanics, and why the 8.7% TGE float matters for price discovery.

Supply mechanics, comparable Layer 1 launches, and three grounded price scenarios from bear to bull. The independent view the official team cannot publish.

 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? Verified team profiles

Albert Dadon AM, Alexander Rees-Evans, Eitan Katz, and Amir Hamidi PhD: what each person's background confirms about the project.

 Security AERKey: Aeredium's threshold signing system, explained

The private key that never exists. AERKey (USPTO 63/977,868) uses threshold ECDSA across TEE hardware on four cloud providers — CGGMP24 in production, open attestation, Bitcoin-anchored audit trail. The security primitive behind every block, every cross-chain op, and the entire Privacy Layer.

 Roadmap Aeredium roadmap 2026: what official sources actually confirm

Three confirmed milestones: testnet June 2026, KIMA conversion June 1–30, mainnet August 2026. This guide documents what white paper v3.7 and official communications confirm, and is honest about what remains unknown.

 Staking AER 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

Independent analysis the official team cannot publish: how Aeredium's architecture compares with other cross-chain infrastructure projects.

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.

KIMA holders: act before June 30

The conversion window closes June 30, 2026. After that, KIMA is delisted and the swap pool closes permanently.

Background How Kima Network became the foundation of Aeredium

The KIMA cross-chain settlement layer is now embedded inside Aeredium's execution stack. What that means for both communities.
