Designated as a “Lightweight” privacy ecosystem, AEON is a cryptocurrency implementation built with the codebase from Monero. AEON utilizes a combination of technological techniques in its lightweight CryptoNote consensus system. 
     Originating in 2014, Aeon is an older generation Cryptocurrency that was originally poised to take over the CPU mining and lightweight nodes segment of the crypto industry. By using the technological genius that was baked into the Monero codebase and academic genius of the team behind the CryptoNote cryptography, AEON was able to establish itself as a prominent figure among the earlier Crypto populations of Cypher-Punks and Techno-Anarchists. Entering into the newer generations of the Digital economy have proven difficult for this homegrown project. The information publically available is scarce and severely lacking. Nonetheless, AEON continues to be a traded asset and maintains a targeted & committed Community.
