At Aethos

We believe community-driven policy will transform the internet into a more transparent, secure, and equitable place without compromising on self-sovereignty.

​
Introducing Policy

Ownable policies are foundational rules that govern interactions, transactions, and access control throughout the blockchain network stack. These policies dictate who can participate, how transactions are processed, and what conditions must be met for certain actions to occur.

Aethos provides a framework for:

  • Pre-transaction policies, set at the smart contract level, in which transactions are only executed if they adhere to rules set for the corresponding smart contract

  • Access to onchain and offchain data such as historical flow-of-funds, blockchain analytics, verifiable credentials, dynamic allowlists, and more to enforce policies

  • A trust-minimized rulemaking system for application developers to implement policies that are enforced by a network of economically incentivized operators
