Native Utility Token
THEO Token
THEO is the native utility token of the Autheo network, powering every layer of the platform, from validator staking and decentralized compute to AI inference, storage, transaction fees, and post-quantum identity.
THEO is a utility token, not a governance token. It is used for validator staking, compute payments, storage allocation, AI inference, transaction fees, and identity operations across the Autheo ecosystem.
See the glossary for definitions of THEO-related terms.
THEO Token Use Cases
Every layer of the Autheo platform runs on THEO
Staking & Validator Rewards
7.5% of total supply (~525M THEO) distributed to validator node operators over 7 years. Sovereign nodes earn 187,969 THEO/year.
Decentralized Compute
Pay for DCC compute workloads with THEO. Validators and compute providers earn THEO for fulfilling distributed compute jobs.
Decentralized Storage
ABW34 storage payments denominated in THEO. Validators earn supplementary income by providing post-quantum-secured distributed storage.
AI Inference & THEO AI
THEO powers on-chain AI inference via THEO AI, Autheo's native AI orchestration layer built into the OS, not a third-party API.
Transaction Fees & Network Access
THEO is the exclusive gas token for all Autheo network interactions: transactions, smart contracts, and cross-layer operations.
AutheoID & Identity
THEO is used to register post-quantum sovereign identities, issue verifiable credentials, and access AutheoID-gated network services.
