**Consensus on chain 2800 is QBFT, with a post-quantum checkpoint every 32 blocks; since block 24,300,000 (AIP-22 stage 4) every validator attributes each consensus vote only through the verified post-quantum seal of its author (headers are still admitted on their ECDSA commit seals until AIP-22 stage 5).** Since block 13,014,000 anchor blocks carry, under the block hash, a
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
17,225,968 to block 20,746,736). Since block 20,715,632 (2026-09-29) a validator rejects an anchor block
with fewer than seven valid seals per scheme, as many as the quorum of the ten validators (below block 24,148,752 the seals proved those validators signed the block, not that it was decided, per the AIP-22 erratum of 2026-10-01, and from that block a certificate that carries the quorum of one round proves the decision); the minimum was
three (f+1 of nine, not a quorum) from 2026-08-14 and six from 2026-08-21. That
three (f+1 of nine, not a quorum) from 2026-08-14 and six from 2026-08-21. A node started from the published node package
(aere-node) lowers that count to one seal, at the cost stated in section 6.4 of its `SPEC.md` (corrected 2026-10-27: this said
"a node rejects"). 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that qualification (the per-block quorum claim published on 2026-08-15 was withdrawn on 2026-08-19).
