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.

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.
COMMUNITY
Community Ambassador Program

The AEREDIUM Ambassador Program is for people who understand what we are building and want to carry it further than we can alone. Ambassadors are the voice of AEREDIUM in their city, their language, and their networks — they host meetups, introduce the technology to developers and institutions, create content, translate it for their communities, and bring back what those communities teach them. In return, ambassadors get direct access to the AEREDIUM team, early access to releases and testnet programmes, rewards and recognition, and a standing place among the people shaping the trust layer from the ground floor. We are looking for people with genuine reach — community builders, educators, developers, finance professionals — who hold themselves to a high standard, because an ambassador speaks with our name.

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.
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.

AERKey

Threshold trust

Keys never assembled in any single place. TEE-attested threshold ECDSA across three clouds.

Trans Layer

Bridgeless cross-chain

Cross-chain ops signed by the same threshold that signs blocks. No verifier set to compromise.

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.

on AEREDIUM — structural

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