Aephoron

Appearance

Getting started ​

Aephoron is the Empoorio ecosystem browser — a complete Rust engine from network to GPU paint, not a Chromium shell. It ships as aephoron-desktop with native wallet, shields, on-device AI, and EmpoorioChain integrations.

The three pillars ​

PillarRole
AephoronUser-facing browser — omnibox, tabs, shields, profiles, WalletConnect
KinetoorRendering engine — Servo fork, SpiderMonkey, WebRender, multi-process IPC
LoogoSearch engine — SearXNG clearnet + Tantivy Web3 index over EmpoorioChain

Source of truth: projects/Aephoron_browser monorepo (MPL-2.0).

Prerequisites ​

  • Rust ≥ 1.88 (toolchain pinned in rust-toolchain.toml)
  • macOS, Linux, or Windows
  • Build tools for your platform (Xcode CLT on macOS, build-essential on Linux)

Clone and build ​

bash
git clone https://github.com/empoorio/aephoron.git
cd aephoron/aephoron-main
./mach build --release

Launch the desktop app:

bash
./mach run aephoron-desktop

For development builds without full optimization:

bash
./mach build
./mach run aephoron-desktop

First steps after launch ​

  1. Open the omnibox — search, enter a URL, or navigate to .empoorio domains
  2. Connect Eoonia Wallet from the native wallet panel (WalletConnect v2 supported)
  3. Enable shields and review privacy settings
  4. Import or create browser profiles (.aephprofile export/import)
