Autheo + Ethereum
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. Ethereum is Layer 1 (+ L2 ecosystem), The home for digital money, global apps, and more. 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 | Ethereum | Autheo |
|---|---|---|
| Layer Type | Layer 1 (+ L2 ecosystem) | Layer-0 OS + Integrated Layer-1 Blockchain |
| Consensus | Proof of Stake (post-Merge) | Proof of Authority (PoA) with deterministic rotation |
| Native Token | ETH | THEO (utility: staking, compute, storage, AI inference, fees) |
| AI Integration | No native AI layer in core protocol; AI projects build on top via smart contracts | Native: THEO AI built into the OS layer |
| Post-Quantum Security | Not specified | Yes, NIST standards: Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon |
| Identity Layer | Not specified | Yes, AutheoID (post-quantum sovereign identity) |
| DevHub/SDK | Not specified | Yes, integrated full-stack DevHub + SDKs |
| Validator Model | Validators require 32 ETH (~$60K+) minimum stake; 500K+ validators | 399 sovereign validators (Core / Prime / Sovereign tiers) |
