Scheme name:
aet

Status:
Provisional

Applications/protocols that use this scheme name:
The "aet" (Aeternum) scheme identifies trust-gated named resources in the Golden Codex namespace, resolved via the Golden Codex Registrar on the Arweave permanent-storage network and the AO compute protocol. It is a sibling front-door of the "gcx" scheme over the same shared registry, addressing the cultural-heritage /permanent-asset domain. Names resolve to permanent Arweave transaction IDs / AO process endpoints, each
carrying a verifiable trust attestation for the name's holder.
