How does Autheo's compute layer (DCC) work for developers?
Autheo's DCC layer was architected over 4.5+ years by 100+ contributors spanning blockchain, backend, DevOps, and decentralized cloud expertise — positioning it as one of the most integrated decentralized compute offerings in the industry.
Autheo's Decentralized Cloud Compute (DCC) layer provides on-demand computational resources deployed across the network's infrastructure, accessible via THEO tokens. Developers use DCC to run computationally intensive workloads, AI model inference, zero-knowledge proof generation, data processing pipelines, that are too expensive for on-chain execution, with results anchored back to the blockchain for verifiability.
