Core Architecture Modules

The Aethel protocol is composed of four primary layers. Select a module below to expand on the technical implementation and design constraints.

1. Regulatory & Identity Layer

SEC REG D

Permissioned ERC-20 extensions incorporating on-chain Whitelisting (KYC/AML) hooks. Focus on transfer restrictions, investor accreditation verification, and admin freeze capabilities for compliance.

PermissionedPools

2. Yield Distribution Engine

REBASING

Automated yield passthrough mechanism from underlying T-Bills. Handles positive rebase events (supply expansion) to distribute value to holders without gas claims, or manual claiming logic.

RebaseDistributor.sol
YieldVault

3. Proof of Reserve & Minting

CHAINLINK

Connection to off-chain banking APIs via Chainlink Oracles. Ensures minting functions revert unless `OffChainReserve >= OnChainSupply`. Includes bankruptcy-remote logic.

OracleAdapter.sol
CircuitBreaker

4. Ecosystem & Developer SDK

SDK

Wrap/Unwrap interfaces for DeFi integration. Front-end components for onboarding institutional clients, managing wallets, and viewing real-time reserve statistics.
