Autheo + Immutable X

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. Immutable X is Layer 2 ZK-Rollup (StarkEx), Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum with zero gas fees and 9,000 TPS. Autheo extends any stack by delivering compute, storage, DevHub, and AI inference as one integrated platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Autheo bring to Immutable X?+
Autheo is a Layer-0 Operating System with an integrated Layer-1 blockchain, offering native AI (THEO AI), post-quantum cryptography, AutheoID sovereign identity, and a full DevHub, all in one unified platform. Immutable X is Layer 2 ZK-Rollup (StarkEx) focused on Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum with zero gas fees and 9,000 TPS. Autheo's unified architecture adds capabilities that complement Immutable X by delivering compute, storage, AI inference, and sovereign identity without the need for fragmented tooling.
How does Autheo build on Immutable X's foundation?+
Autheo delivers everything Immutable X offers and extends it further. Where Immutable X uses ZK-Rollup validity proofs (STARKs); inherits Ethereum security consensus, Autheo uses Proof of Authority (PoA) with deterministic rotation for predictable, high-performance finality. Autheo also brings native THEO AI, AutheoID post-quantum identity, the Autheo Eigensphere Engine (AEE) runtime, and a fully integrated DevHub, all as part of a single, cohesive platform.
What security does Autheo add beyond Immutable X?+
Autheo implements post-quantum cryptography using NIST-standard algorithms: Kyber (key encapsulation), Dilithium (signatures), and Falcon (signatures). These secure validator identity and communications against both classical and quantum attacks. Autheo has also partnered with Halborn, an industry leader with 2,500+ blockchain security audits, for ongoing security review.
