Stake AERE

Lock AERE for a fixed term. The tier rates below are real on-chain constants, but the reward reserve that pays them is currently empty, so no yield can be paid today. Any holder can stake, staking earns yield, it does not make you a validator.

The reward reserve is unfunded. No yield can be paid today. The APY constants are real and this contract is live and callable, but the reserve holds nothing, so a lock made now earns you nothing. While the reserve cannot cover principal plus reward, withdraw() at maturity reverts; your principal stays recoverable at any time via earlyExit(), which forfeits the reward. Do not lock expecting a return.
Staking earns yield, not a validator seat. AERE runs Hyperledger Besu QBFT consensus. Validators are admitted by a governance vote of the existing validator set, not by staking or bonding, and there is no on-chain slashing. Staking here is a yield product for any AERE holder. Learn how validators are admitted at aere.network/run-a-validator.

Tier APYs and the reward reserve are read live from AereLockedStaking 0x2110…E7Ad on Chain 2800. The reserve is the balance held above outstanding principal, and it is what can actually pay yield. Early exit forfeits reward and returns principal only. No unbonding delay, no slash risk.

Reward accrues over the lock term and is paid in AERE on maturity, out of the reward reserve. While that reserve is empty no reward can be paid and withdraw() at maturity reverts. Early exit forfeits reward and returns principal only, there is no unbonding delay and no slashing.

Other ways to earn on AERE

Locked staking tiers (this page) carry a fixed APY constant for a fixed term on AereLockedStaking, but the reward reserve is unfunded, so nothing is payable today. sAERE is an ERC-4626 staking receipt (0xA212…50b0) that earns a variable staker-yield from the AereSink fee split. Neither product makes you a validator, and neither carries slashing risk.
