THEO Token

THEO Token for TheoID & Identity

THEO is the utility token powering TheoID, Autheo's post-quantum sovereign identity system. TheoID enables individuals, enterprises, IoT devices, and AI agents to establish verifiable on-chain identities secured by NIST-standard post-quantum cryptography. THEO is used to register identities, issue credentials, and manage identity sovereignty on-chain.

TheoID is not an add-on; it's a core component of the Autheo Layer-0 OS. Every validator, user, device, and AI agent on the Autheo network has an TheoID, a self-sovereign identity secured by post-quantum cryptography (Kyber for key exchange, Dilithium for signatures). THEO tokens are used to register new identities, update credentials, and access identity-gated network services.

Unlike traditional centralized identity systems (OAuth, SSO, government IDs) or early blockchain identity attempts (ENS, DID), TheoID is quantum-resistant from inception. As quantum computing advances, classical ECDSA-based identities become vulnerable. TheoID uses NIST-standard post-quantum algorithms, ensuring long-term identity security without migration or identity re-registration.

For enterprises and DeFi protocols, TheoID enables optional on-chain compliance layers. Users can attach verifiable credentials (KYC attestations, jurisdiction proofs, professional certifications) to their TheoID without exposing underlying personal data, enabling compliant applications that respect user sovereignty. THEO is used to issue, revoke, and verify these credentials on-chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TheoID and how does THEO power it?+
TheoID is Autheo's post-quantum sovereign identity system, integrated at the Layer-0 OS level. THEO tokens are used to register identities, issue verifiable credentials, and access identity-gated network services.
Why is post-quantum identity important?+
Classical identity cryptography (ECDSA, RSA) is vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. TheoID uses NIST-standard Kyber, Dilithium, and Falcon algorithms, ensuring user and validator identities remain secure even as quantum computing matures.
Can TheoID be used for enterprise compliance?+
Yes. TheoID supports verifiable credentials (KYC attestations, jurisdiction proofs) that can be attached to on-chain identities without exposing underlying personal data, enabling compliant applications built on Autheo that respect user sovereignty.
