THEO

Autheo is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain that combines a Cosmos SDK consensus layer with an Ethermint-derived EVM execution environment. The network provides decentralized compute, storage, and AI inference services alongside general smart contract functionality. THEO is the network's native token and exclusive gas asset.

The chain operates under Cosmos chain identifier autheo_2127-1 and EVM chain identifier 2127, with an approximate five-second block time. Because Autheo implements a full EVM, standard Ethereum tooling including MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry, and ethers.js works against its JSON-RPC endpoints without modification. A single eth_secp256k1 keypair controls both Cosmos and EVM transactions, allowing accounts to operate across Bech32 and hexadecimal address formats.

Validation is organized around a capped set of 399 Sovereign validator node licenses represented on-chain as NFTs. License holders participate through three tiers: Sovereign at full stake, Prime at ten percent, and Core at one percent. The network operates two parallel reward streams. Staking rewards are generated by the x/mint module and distributed through x/distribution. License emission rewards accrue per block through a custom x/emissions module and are claimed through x/licensedistribution. Both require manual claiming. Undelegation is subject to an approximate 21-day unbonding period, and redelegation between validators is disabled at the protocol level.

THEO has a maximum supply of 7,000,000,000 tokens, denominated in aauth at 18 decimals. The token follows an inflationary emission model beginning at approximately 10 percent annually and declining over time. Allocations include 7.5 percent, or 525,000,000 THEO, to validator node licenses distributed linearly over 84 months with no cliff, and 15 percent, or 1,050,000,000 THEO, to infrastructure nodes following a three-month cliff. Emissions to validator, infrastructure, ecosystem, and developer reward pools are performance-weighted against uptime and service metrics.

Beyond consensus and fees, THEO is used to pay for decentralized compute, distributed storage allocation, and AI inference operations. The token also underpins TheoID, the project's post-quantum identity registration system. Autheo characterizes THEO as a utility token rather than a governance token.

THEO began public trading on 20 August 2026 on Hydrex, a concentrated liquidity decentralized exchange on Base, against USDC at a reference price of 0.05 USD, with Enflux acting as market maker. A Hyperlane warp route connects Autheo Chain to Base, where THEO is represented as a HypERC20 synthetic token. Tokens bridged from Autheo Chain are locked on the origin chain and minted one-to-one on Base, so the Base token's total supply reflects cumulative bridged volume rather than a separate allocation.

The project maintains public documentation at docs.autheo.com covering node operation, module architecture, token parameters, and developer tooling. A commerce portal handles validator license sales, and a validator portal provides delegation and reward claim interfaces.
