FAQ

Frequently asked questions

AESC is a Layer 1 blockchain designed as a parallel settlement layer for the physical economy. It combines parallel execution, sub-second deterministic finality, stablecoin-native payment abstraction through x402, and compliance-aware infrastructure to support real-world value flow across agriculture, trade, green finance, and other physical-economy verticals.

Glossary

A canonical language layer for the ecosystem

Parallel Settlement

Processing independent real-world transactions concurrently rather than sequentially.

x402

AESC's payment abstraction layer enabling stablecoin-native blockchain interactions.

Deterministic Finality

Transaction confirmation that is absolute and irreversible, unlike probabilistic finality.

Delivery vs Payment (DvP)

Settlement mechanism where asset transfer and payment occur simultaneously.

veAESC

Vote-escrowed AESC used for governance participation with time-weighted influence.

IBC

Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol for Cosmos-native cross-chain interoperability.
