Proof of Time

We find ourselves at an inflection point. The token ecosystem has converged on a predictable pattern: asymmetric information distribution, coordinated accumulation phases, and tokenomics designed to extract value from later participants while maintaining plausible deniability through complexity.

This is not accidental. It is optimal for extractors.

Proof of Time proposes a different primitive.

Consider the fundamental problem: How do we distribute value fairly without introducing a trusted intermediary or a coordination mechanism that inevitably favors early information access?

The answer, we propose, is time itself—a variable that cannot be accelerated, predicted, or monopolized.

50M tokens (50% of supply) are locked in an immutable contract. Every block (~12 seconds on Ethereum), a fixed amount releases: ~1.901 tokens per block, distributed proportionally to holders based on their percentage of circulating supply. This continues for 26,298,000 blocks—about 10 years.

No governance. No mechanism for extraction beyond proportional holding.

$AETE has no official social channels—no Twitter, no Telegram, no Discord. Anyone who claims to speak for the project is impersonating. The protocol is self-executing on Ethereum: the vault releases on schedule, claims are permissionless, and nothing here depends on a team, a roadmap, or an announcement to keep running.

The contract

50,000,000 tokens never touch the Uniswap V3 pool. They live in a simple contract. When it fills, that block is the start block.

Every block (~12 seconds on Ethereum), a tiny slice unlocks and becomes claimable. After about 10 years, the vault is empty.

The math

T = 10 yr \times 365.25 d/yr \times 24 h/d \times 60 min/h = 5,259,600 min N = 5,259,600 min \times 60 \div 12 s/block = 26,298,000 intervals R = 50,000,000 \div 26,298,000 \approx 1.901285 tokens / interval

How claiming works

Each interval releases a fixed amount R (~1.901285 tokens). That entire amount is divided among holders. Balances sitting in liquidity pools do not count toward the split.

H = total supply held by wallets (pools excluded) y = R \times (your_balance \div H)

y is credited to you for that interval. The contract keeps a running total of everything you have earned. Call claim whenever you want to withdraw your balance; until then, it stays on the ledger.
