The Trust Layer for
Institutional Digital-Asset Settlement.
AEREDIUM is the privacy-preserving chain of record for institutional digital-asset settlement. EVM-compatible Layer 1 producing 22 blocks per second at 250,000 transactions per second end-to-end, signed entirely by hardware-attested enclaves. Zero human validators.
The v3.8 specification documents the complete architecture: the five patent-protected primitives that compose the chain, the bank-rail connectivity model that ships settlement to traditional finance, the regulatory and compliance posture for institutional adoption, and the engineering measurements that validate the throughput claim under production parameters.
Three filed patents. All documented in v3.8.
The white paper specifies the cryptographic, consensus, and connectivity foundations of AEREDIUM. Three of the load-bearing primitives are protected by filed USPTO applications. The Autonomous Auditing patent (19/400,910) is held by StableProtocol LLC; all other patents are held by Aeredium Foundation Limited.
Keys never assembled in any single place. TEE-attested threshold ECDSA across independent attested enclaves — the foundation of the chain's "zero human validators" property.
Threshold-governed access to bank APIs, ERPs, SWIFT, card networks. The bank changes nothing. Only a consensus event can call the bank.
Real-time reserve verification and risk-bounded settlement attestation. The audit primitive that makes the chain regulator-defensible at production scale.
