THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER
Measured end-to-end. Not isolated benchmarks.
Most chains quote single-path numbers — signing latency, or block proposal rate, measured in isolation. AEREDIUM's 250,000 TPS is sustained from wallet submission through consensus, execution, and finality, on production parameters.
PRODUCTION TODAY
250,000TPS
End-to-end throughput, measured on testnet under production parameters.
MAINNET TARGET
~1MTPS
Engineered ceiling under full validator-mesh deployment.
VALIDATOR SET
0humans
Every block signed inside a hardware-attested enclave. No person can produce a block.
FOR CONTEXT
Visa peaks at ~24,000 TPS. Mastercard at ~5,000 TPS. SWIFT processes ~50M messages/day (≈580 TPS).
AEREDIUM testnet sustains 10× Visa's peak — end-to-end.
THE NETWORK
One chain, three reaches.
AEREDIUM sits between three previously-disconnected worlds. EVM and non-EVM blockchains. Traditional banking and enterprise systems. The institutional middle market public chains were never built for.
Trans Layer
Bridgeless cross-chain settlement to EVM and non-EVM networks including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and Polygon.
AERLink
Threshold-governed access to banks, ERPs, SWIFT, card networks. The bank changes nothing.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Five primitives. One uncontested category.
Every property institutional finance requires — confidentiality, regulator-defensibility, operator-neutrality, AI-era structural defence — falls out of the same five primitives.
Trans Layer
Bridgeless cross-chain
Cross-chain ops signed by the same threshold that signs blocks. No verifier set to compromise.
NEW
AERLink
Bank-rail connectivity
Threshold-governed access to bank APIs, ERPs, SWIFT. The bank changes nothing.
Privacy Mode
Encrypted by default
Amounts, counterparties, tokens — encrypted at protocol level. Visible only to authorised readers.
Verifiable
Zero human validators
Multi-cloud TEE consensus, hardware attestation, Bitcoin-anchored. No human can sign a block.
THE THREAT ERA
$1.04B stolen in 2026.
76% by one nation-state.
AI-amplified exploits. Bridge attacks. Verifier compromises. The defensive architecture of public blockchains was not designed for this adversary.

AEREDIUM's architecture decouples vulnerability discovery from value extraction. Finding the bug doesn't drain the keys.

EXPLAINER
AERLINK · USPTO 09857-P0001A
Bank rails as composable chain primitives.
The bank's existing API stays exactly as it is. The credentials live inside an attested enclave. The only thing that can call them is a consensus event.
No rip-and-replace
Bank keeps its core, ERP, messaging stack untouched.
No oracle network
One in-band call, no LINK, no DON, no separately-trusted layer.
Composable settlement
Bank-rail payment as one leg of a multi-leg AEREDIUM transaction.
