Initial public release
Aere Network public source. Everything here can be checked against the live
chain (chain id 2800, https://rpc.aere.network).

Scope note, stated up front rather than buried: consensus on chain 2800 is
classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT. The post-quantum work in this repository is at
the signature, precompile, account and transport layers. Nothing here makes the
consensus post-quantum, and no document in it should be read as claiming so.

Solidity smart contracts for Aere Network (chain ID 2800) and their Hardhat test suites.

This repository is part of the Aere Network "verify yourself" core. The deployed contract bytecode is already public on-chain (readable via eth_getCode and the block explorer), so publishing the source here lets anyone read, compile, and re-test the exact logic that runs on mainnet. Nothing in this repository can move funds or impersonate the network: there are no private keys, no mnemonics, and no deployment credentials. Every network account is supplied at runtime through environment variables (see hardhat.config.js).

Layout

  • contracts/ the Solidity sources, grouped by domain (pqc, pqfinality, settlement, lending, governance, paymaster, oracle, mpc, zkverify, and more).
  • test/ the Hardhat test suites, including unit tests, fuzz/invariant/property tests, and the cryptographic known-answer test (KAT) vectors under test/fixtures/ and test/*.json.
  • hardhat.config.js the compiler and network configuration. Keys and RPC URLs are read from environment variables only; the sole literal mnemonic present is the well-known public Hardhat default (test test ... junk) used for local test signers.
  • package.json the dependency manifest.

Verify

npm ci            # installs the exact locked dependency tree
npx hardhat compile
npx hardhat test

Use npm ci, not npm install. ci installs the exact tree recorded in package-lock.json and fails if the lockfile and package.json disagree, so you are running against the same dependency versions we measured. install is free to resolve newer versions and will quietly give you a different tree.

Step-by-step instructions with the expected output at each step, the measured pass and coverage numbers, and the required tool versions are in REPRODUCE.md. The same three commands run on every push through .github/workflows/ci.yml.

To reproduce against the live chain, point AERE_RPC_URL at the public RPC (https://rpc.aere.network, chain ID 2800) and compare compiled bytecode to the on-chain code. The full reproducibility manifest lives in the aere-docs repository (REPRODUCE.md).

What is deliberately not here

Deployment scripts, deploy keys, .env files, infrastructure configuration, and business or operations material are intentionally excluded. This repository is source plus tests only.
