Autheo + Toncoin
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. Toncoin is Layer 1 Blockchain (sharded Proof-of-Stake), The Open Network for everyone. Autheo extends any stack by delivering compute, storage, DevHub, and AI inference as one integrated platform.
Understand Autheo first
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.
This comparison page shows how Autheo complements other platforms in practice, but the best place to understand Autheo itself is through the core platform and architecture pages.
Feature Overview
A full feature breakdown
| Feature | Toncoin | Autheo |
|---|---|---|
| Layer Type | Layer 1 Blockchain (sharded Proof-of-Stake) | Layer-0 OS + Integrated Layer-1 Blockchain |
| Consensus | Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with BFT | Proof of Authority (PoA) with deterministic rotation |
| Native Token | Toncoin (TON) | THEO (utility: staking, compute, storage, AI inference, fees) |
| AI Integration | Third-party (e.g., Cocoon decentralized AI network on TON); no native AI | Native: THEO AI built into the OS layer |
| Post-Quantum Security | No (Ed25519 signatures vulnerable to Shor's algorithm) | Yes, NIST standards: Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon |
| Identity Layer | Basic on-chain identity via Telegram; no sovereign identity (third-party like HumanCode) | Yes, AutheoID (post-quantum sovereign identity) |
| DevHub/SDK | Yes: TON Connect SDK, @ton/ton JS/TS library, AssetsSDK | Yes, integrated full-stack DevHub + SDKs |
| Validator Model | ~340 active validators; minimum stake ~300k TON for validators, 10k TON for nominator pools; elected via stake weight; ~452M TON staked | 399 sovereign validators (Core / Prime / Sovereign tiers) |
Why Builders Choose Autheo
