3498 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 3498edo or 3498ed2), also called 3498-tone equal temperament (3498tet) or 3498 equal temperament (3498et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 3498 equal parts of about 0.343 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/3498, or the 3498th root of 2.

3498edo is consistent in the 25-odd-limit, and it is a good 19-limit tuning. Except for harmonic 17, it is a mostly flat system. In the 7-limit, it is enfactored, with the same tuning as 1749edo, and corrects its mappings for 11 and 19.

3498edo notably contains 53edo, tempering out the Mercator's comma, and also 106edo and 159edo.
