Note added 2026-09-24 (consensus) in six documents: 'consensus is classical ECDSA, not post-quantum' is the per-block finality statement; since 2026-09-05 every consensus message carries an enforced Falcon-512 seal, and every anchor a post-quantum certificate

It no longer describes all of consensus on chain 2800: since 2026-08-14 every anchor block must carry a certificate of validator post-quantum seals under its hash (Falcon-512, with SLH-DSA as well since 2026-09-04), and since 2026-09-05 every QBFT consensus message must carry a valid Falcon-512 seal of its author.

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wrong (the per-block rule armed at that height is retired in the shipped code in favour of the anchor rules) and was withdrawn on 2026-08-19.

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. Aere Network is a public, EVM-compatible Layer 1 (chain ID 2800).

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. A single clean record of the non-stop build loop.
