Autheo + Kaspa

Autheo is a Layer-0 Operating System with an integrated Layer-1 blockchain that unifies identity, compute, storage, developer tooling, and AI capabilities in one interoperable environment. Kaspa is Layer 1 Blockchain (BlockDAG, Proof-of-Work), Fastest open-source, decentralized, fully scalable Layer 1 blockDAG PoW in the world. Autheo extends any stack by delivering compute, storage, DevHub, and AI inference as one integrated platform.

Why Builders Choose Autheo

The advantages that matter for serious builders

THEO AI native orchestration layer

Unified Layer-0 OS (not just a single-purpose chain)

Post-quantum cryptography (Kyber/Dilithium/Falcon)

AutheoID — sovereign identity layer

Integrated DevHub for deployment

Single validator node = full stack access

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Autheo bring to Kaspa?+
Autheo is a Layer-0 Operating System with an integrated Layer-1 blockchain, offering native AI (THEO AI), post-quantum cryptography, AutheoID sovereign identity, and a full DevHub, all in one unified platform. Kaspa is Layer 1 Blockchain (BlockDAG, Proof-of-Work) focused on Fastest open-source, decentralized, fully scalable Layer 1 blockDAG PoW in the world. Autheo's unified architecture adds capabilities that complement Kaspa by delivering compute, storage, AI inference, and sovereign identity without the need for fragmented tooling.
How does Autheo build on Kaspa's foundation?+
Autheo delivers everything Kaspa offers and extends it further. Where Kaspa uses GHOSTDAG / PHANTOM (PoW blockDAG protocol) consensus, Autheo uses Proof of Authority (PoA) with deterministic rotation for predictable, high-performance finality. Autheo also brings native THEO AI, AutheoID post-quantum identity, the Autheo Eigensphere Engine (AEE) runtime, and a fully integrated DevHub, all as part of a single, cohesive platform.
What security does Autheo add beyond Kaspa?+
Autheo implements post-quantum cryptography using NIST-standard algorithms: Kyber (key encapsulation), Dilithium (signatures), and Falcon (signatures). These secure validator identity and communications against both classical and quantum attacks. Autheo has also partnered with Halborn, an industry leader with 2,500+ blockchain security audits, for ongoing security review.
