THEO Token

THEO Token for Transaction Fees & Network Access

THEO is the exclusive gas and fee token for live transactions, smart contract executions, and network access on the Autheo blockchain. Future compute job submissions are planned to use THEO as the decentralized compute layer rolls out through the Autheo Marketplace.

In Autheo's live fee model, THEO tokens pay for transaction fees and smart contract execution gas. Data storage payments through the Autheo Marketplace, compute workloads through the Autheo Marketplace, and AI inference requests are planned to use THEO as those layers roll out over the coming months.

Fees collected from network usage are redistributed to validators as a supplementary reward stream alongside the base emissions schedule. As the Autheo ecosystem grows and transaction volume increases, fee revenue provides compounding validator income beyond the fixed 7-year emission model, creating long-term validator incentive alignment with network growth.

Autheo's Proof of Autheo hybrid consensus model supports predictable transaction fees without the gas price volatility common on PoS or PoW networks. THEO AI dynamic fee allocation is planned separately as the AI layer rolls out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is THEO used for as a transaction fee token?+
THEO is the exclusive fee token for live Autheo network interactions, including transaction fees and smart contract gas. Compute payments through the Autheo Marketplace, storage fees through the Autheo Marketplace, and AI inference costs are planned to use THEO as those layers roll out.
Are Autheo transaction fees predictable?+
Yes. Autheo's Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus with deterministic validator rotation provides consistent, predictable block production, eliminating the gas price bidding wars common on PoS/PoW networks.
Do fee revenues benefit validators beyond emissions?+
Yes. Fee revenues are distributed to validators as a supplementary income stream alongside the fixed 7-year emission schedule. Growing network usage increases fee revenue, compounding validator income over time.
