You can call them yourself **Consensus on chain 2800 is classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT on every block, with a post-quantum checkpoint every 32 blocks.** Since block 13,014,000 anchor blocks carry, under the block hash, a -certificate of validator Falcon-512 seals, and since 2026-08-14 a node rejects an anchor block with -fewer than three valid seals (f+1 of nine, not a quorum; eight or nine are carried in practice). That +certificate of validator post-quantum seals (Falcon-512, with SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s as well since +2026-09-04, at every 128th block since 2026-09-29; every anchor was 128 blocks apart from block +17,225,968 to block 20,746,736). Since block 20,715,632 (2026-09-29) a node rejects an anchor block +with fewer than seven valid seals per scheme, the full quorum of the ten validators; the minimum was +three (f+1 of nine, not a quorum) from 2026-08-14 and six from 2026-08-21. That checkpoint lives in the aere-node repository (patch 0003 and `anchor/`), not in this one: nothing in this repository makes consensus post-quantum, and the chain is not "post-quantum consensus" without that qualification (the per-block quorum claim published on 2026-08-15 was withdrawn on 2026-08-19).
