Precision fix 2026-08-19: the three-seal anchor minimum has been enforced since 2026-08-14 (the schedule step is at block 13,034,000 but an emergency ceiling held the effective minimum to one until then); anchors universal since block 13,889,296
Some checks are pending
contracts-ci / Install (lockfile) → compile → full test suite (push) Waiting to run
contracts-ci / Ethereum interop (EIP-2537 BLS, prague hardfork) (push) Waiting to run
contracts-ci / PQC known-answer tests (NIST vectors) (push) Waiting to run

# Formally analysed properties, AERE PQC contracts
> **Note added 2026-08-19.** Statements in this document that consensus on chain 2800 is (or remains) classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT were written before the post-quantum header anchor went live, and remain true for block-by-block finality. Since block 13,014,000 every 32nd block also carries, under its block hash, a certificate of validator Falcon-512 seals, and since block 13,034,000 a node rejects such an anchor block with fewer than three valid seals (f+1 of nine; eight or nine are carried in practice). That is a post-quantum checkpoint about every 16 seconds, not a per-block quorum: the claim published on 2026-08-15 that from block 14,050,000 no block finalizes without a post-quantum quorum was wrong (the per-block rule armed at that height is retired in the shipped code in favour of the anchor rules) and was withdrawn on 2026-08-19. Details: https://aere.network/quantum.html and the aere-node repository, anchor/README.md.
