The Trust Layer for
Institutional Digital-Asset Settlement.

AEREDIUM · Technical White Paper Version 3.7 April 2026 41 pages

AEREDIUM is the privacy-preserving chain of record for institutional digital-asset settlement. EVM-compatible Layer 1 producing 50 blocks per second at 250,000 transactions per second end-to-end, signed entirely by hardware-attested enclaves. Zero human validators.

The v3.7 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.

PATENT-PROTECTED PRIMITIVES

Three filed patents. All documented in v3.7.

The white paper specifies the cryptographic, consensus, and connectivity foundations of AEREDIUM. Three of the load-bearing primitives are protected by filed USPTO applications.

AERKey
Threshold trust

Keys never assembled in any single place. TEE-attested threshold ECDSA across three clouds — the foundation of the chain's "zero human validators" property.

USPTO 63/977,868
AERLink
Bank-rail connectivity

Threshold-governed access to bank APIs, ERPs, SWIFT, card networks. The bank changes nothing. Only a consensus event can call the bank.

USPTO 09857-P0001A
AEREDIUM Audit
Continuous attestation

Real-time reserve verification and risk-bounded settlement attestation. The audit primitive that makes the chain regulator-defensible at production scale.
