A Hybrid Scrypt-Based Blockchain Ecosystem

1. Executive Summary

Aetheris (AETH) is a decentralized digital asset built on a hybrid Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. By utilizing the Scrypt algorithm, Aetheris ensures a fair distribution of coins through mining while maintaining long-term network security and energy efficiency through staking. The network is designed for stability, featuring a 5-minute block target and a robust infrastructure.

2. Technical Specifications

The Aetheris blockchain is built on a high-stability architecture (Branch 13.2) with the following core parameters:

• Algorithm: Scrypt (Hybrid PoW/PoS)
• Ticker: AETH
• Address Prefix: "A"
• P2P Port: 25198
• RPC Port: 25197
• Genesis Timestamp: "Sarbatorile vin 17 dec 2025 si sa fie un 2026 bun"

3. Consensus Mechanism

3.1 Proof of Work (PoW)

Mining is the primary distribution method for AETH.

• Block Reward: 120 AETH
• End of PoW: Mining will conclude at block 7,000,000. After this point, the network will be secured exclusively by Proof of Stake.

3.2 Proof of Stake (PoS)

Aetheris rewards long-term holders for securing the network.

• PoS Reward: 40 AETH per block.
• Staking Eligibility: * Minimum Stake Age: 8 hours (coins must stay in the wallet for at least 8 hours before they start earning rewards).
  • Maximum Stake Age: Unlimited.
• Development Fund: 15% of all stake rewards are dedicated to the project's donation fund to ensure continuous development and marketing.

4. Network Performance & Security

• Block Timing: A 5-minute target spacing ensures steady network growth.
• Difficulty Adjustment: Every 10 minutes (Target Timespan) to maintain stability against hashrate fluctuations.
• Transaction Finality: Transactions are considered secure after 6 confirmations.
• Coinbase Maturity: Newly minted coins require 10 blocks (+1 default confirmation) before they can be spent.

5. Infrastructure and Nodes

To ensure 100% uptime and fast synchronization for new users, Aetheris maintains dedicated seed nodes:

• node3.walletbuilders.com
• mining-p2pool.go.ro

6. Roadmap & Future

Aetheris is positioned to be a community-driven coin. With the launch of the Mainnet in late 2025 and the symbolic message of "A better 2026", the project focuses on building a reliable mining pool (P2Pool) and expanding its utility within the Scrypt ecosystem.
