About

AEON was launched on 6.6.2014 at 6:00 PM UTC, with no premine or instamine. It has no dev tax. 100% of funding is by voluntary community donations which have create a dev fund of almost 1 million USD (as of May 2018).

AEON is for people who want to pay and live freely, who want to be part of the cryptocurrency revolution and want to try something new.

It is based on the CryptoNote protocol and uses the CryptoNight-Lite algorithm, and features:

- True anonymity & data protection
- Untraceable payments uses ring signature
- Unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender
- Blockchain analysis resistant
- CPU/GPU mining, ASIC-resistant

AEON isn't just a currency. It's a lifestyle.

Decentralized digital currency is slowly becoming a normal part of everyday life. Yet everybody's main internet device continues to be their cellphone, a device with a low-powered CPU and limited available storage.

AEON is about enabling this era, enabling an age where all people everywhere have the freedom to privately send and receive money with whatever gadget they already own.
