Protocol Overview
Aethercycle is not a single contract, but a modular ecosystem of more than 15 interconnected smart contracts. Each contract serves a dedicated purpose, and together they form a resilient, transparent financial system.
Think of it as a complete economy: each layer has its own responsibility, but all function in harmony to sustain the perpetual cycle.

1. Core Layer (Foundation)
AECToken — native currency with integrated tax mechanics.
PerpetualEndowment — reserve ensuring continuous operations.
PerpetualEngine — autonomous processor that manages revenue flows.
2. Staking Layer (Yield Engine)
Three staking options with distinct profiles:
AECStakingToken.sol — Staking pool for native token AEC
AECStakingLP.sol — Staking pool for LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens.
AECStakingNFT.sol — Staking pool for Aetheria NFTs.
Together, these sustain stability while rewarding long-term participation.
3. Genesis Layer (Launch)
TokenDistributor — immutable, one-time token allocation.
FairLaunch — trustless public sale.
LiquidityDeployer — establishes permanent market liquidity.
4. Community & Governance Layer
FairAirdrop + ContributorPoints — incentives for early contributors.
AECGambit Lottery — gamified engagement mechanism.
AccountabilityDAO + FounderVesting — oversight without undermining autonomy.
Bigger Picture
This layered design makes Aethercycle more than a product—it is a self-sustaining ecosystem, engineered for durability and transparency.
