æternity tokens are used as payment for any resources one consumes on the platform, as well as the basis for applications implemented
on the platform.
The distribution of æternity token [AE] in the genesis block will be determined by a smart contract hosted on Ethereum.
æternity tokens will be managed by accounts which will have an address and balance, implemented alongside a alias (naming) system which will support human-friendly names mapped to an aeternity address.
