Dated note on 20 documents: the post-quantum anchor checkpoint (>=3 of 9 Falcon seals every 32nd block since 13,034,000) qualifies the 'consensus remains classical' statements; the 14,050,000 per-block quorum claim was withdrawn on 2026-08-19

# Aere Network Architecture Map
> **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wrong (the per-block rule armed at that height is retired in the shipped code in favour of the anchor rules) and was withdrawn on 2026-08-19.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.
Aere Network is a public, EVM-compatible Layer 1 (chain ID 2800). One diagram replaces pages of prose here: the architecture is best read as a layered stack (Consensus at the bottom, then Execution, Accounts, and Applications on top) with a set of cross-cutting concerns (post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge verification, and crypto-agility) that traverse every layer rather than sitting in any single one. This is deliberately not one linear top-to-bottom column: the layers stack, and the transversal concerns cut across all of them.
The single most important honesty point, stated up front: consensus today is classical ECDSA (secp256k1) QBFT. Only signatures, accounts, and precompiles are post-quantum. There is no post-quantum consensus live on mainnet, and the on-chain zero-knowledge verifiers are classical BN254 (Shor-breakable) today. Everything below is marked LIVE (on mainnet 2800) or "(roadmap)" (built and tested, but not activated on mainnet).

# Aere Network: Autonomous Build Loop Summary (2026-07-19)

A single clean record of the non-stop build loop. Every item below was verified before it was marked done: real numbers where measured, honest `[MEASURE]` / `[VERIFY]` markers where not, and the post-quantum scope boundary kept everywhere (consensus is classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT; only signatures, accounts, and precompiles are post-quantum). Nothing here was deployed to mainnet; every activation stays founder-gated.

**Status:** Internal draft for adversarial review and for the external audit that follows. Every claim is meant to be checkable against the repository, the live chain (chain ID 2800), or the cited formal-verification artifacts. This document is internally verified and adversarially self-reviewed; it is not yet externally audited. Read every guarantee as "internally verified, not externally attested" until an independent audit completes.
A single framing statement governs the entire document and is repeated because it is the most common thing to get wrong about Aere: smart contracts and accounts on Aere can verify post-quantum signatures (Falcon, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) through live EVM precompiles; consensus remains classical ECDSA / QBFT, and the on-chain zero-knowledge verifiers remain classical BN254 pairing checks. Aere is post-quantum at the signature and precompile layer and classical at the consensus and ZK verification layers. The chain as a whole is not post-quantum, and this document never claims it is.

De la blocul 13.014.000 fiecare al 32-lea bloc poarta, sub amprenta lui, un certificat de sigilii Falcon-512 ale validatorilor, iar de la 13.034.000 un nod respinge un astfel de bloc de ancora cu mai putin de 3 sigilii valide (f+1 din 9; 8-9 purtate in practica). E un punct de control post-cuantic la ~16 secunde, nu un cvorum pe fiecare bloc: afirmatia publicata pe 15 august ca de la 14.050.000 niciun bloc nu se finalizeaza fara cvorum post-cuantic era gresita (regula armata atunci e retrasa in codul livrat in favoarea regulilor ancorei) si a fost retrasa pe 19 august.
