Identity before reward
One governed identity/organisation record is used to reduce duplicate or synthetic participation.
Governance & integrity
Protect the programme before expanding the asset.
AEC governance is designed to keep reward issuance attributable, evidence-linked and resistant to artificial banding, duplicate participation and unsupported claims. Market-facing functionality is stage-gated rather than assumed.
Integrity controls
Public transparency without publishing an exploit map.
Stakeholders should understand how the programme protects fairness. They do not need access to the exact coefficients, thresholds or internal classifications that could be manipulated.
No public reward formula
Reward coefficients, thresholds and internal classification logic remain controlled to reduce gaming, band-shopping and artificial transaction structuring.
System-classified eligibility
Participants do not self-select the reward class that benefits them most. Eligibility is determined from verified profile, activity and evidence data.
Evidence-linked events
Qualifying activity must reference the underlying delivery, transaction, research, production, tourism or impact record.
Duplicate and related-event checks
The operating system can detect repeated claims, reversals, linked events and other conditions requiring review.
Human-governed exceptions
Material exceptions, disputes, reversals and higher-risk cases remain subject to accountable review and audit trails.
No fiat peg
AEC is not a stablecoin and is not pegged to EUR, USD or another currency. Transaction currencies do not determine AEC value.
Stage-gated functionality
Transfer, sale, redemption, market connectivity or similar functions remain unavailable unless the applicable future stage and governance gates are formally activated.
Stage governance
Every future capability has to earn its activation.
Participation reward units
Non-transferable sustainability and participation reward units issued only after verified qualifying activity and controlled approval.
Verifiable impact credentials
Where appropriate, verified impact can be represented through controlled credits or credentials with evidence, methodology and anti-double-counting safeguards.
Blockchain representation
Selected evidence or approved digital representations may use blockchain where it adds auditability, interoperability or verification value.
Independent crypto-asset connectivity
Only if economically justified, legally classified and accepted by an appropriate regulated provider, AEC may connect as its own crypto asset to custody, trading or payment infrastructure.
Rule confidentiality
Why internal reward formulas remain controlled.
Exact public thresholds can distort behaviour. People may split land, organisations, purchases, deliveries or activities merely to qualify for a more favourable band. AEC therefore separates public governance principles from private operational rule parameters.

2030 review point
Rules can change; properly earned records should remain traceable.
The current programme is designed for review by 31 December 2030. Successor rules should be approved through governance, published with an effective date, preserve auditable history, reconcile pending/disputed events and address legal, technical, fraud and stakeholder-experience findings.
No automatic progression.
Reaching the review date does not automatically activate transferability, public sale, blockchain representation or exchange connectivity. Each capability remains subject to its own decision gate.
