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.
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 | Immutable X | Autheo |
|---|---|---|
| Layer Type | Layer 2 ZK-Rollup (StarkEx) | Layer-0 OS + Integrated Layer-1 Blockchain |
| Consensus | ZK-Rollup validity proofs (STARKs); inherits Ethereum security | Proof of Authority (PoA) with deterministic rotation |
| Native Token | IMX | THEO (utility: staking, compute, storage, AI inference, fees) |
| AI Integration | Limited (Immutable Audience AI tool for game growth) | Native: THEO AI built into the OS layer |
| Post-Quantum Security | None (standard ECDSA; vulnerable to quantum attacks) | Yes, NIST standards: Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon |
| Identity Layer | None / basic wallet auth (Immutable Passport) | Yes, AutheoID (post-quantum sovereign identity) |
| DevHub/SDK | Unified SDK (TypeScript base; Unity/Unreal support); deprecated IMX SDKs ([docs](https://docs.immutable.com)) | Yes, integrated full-stack DevHub + SDKs |
| Validator Model | Centralized sequencer/rollup operator (Immutable); no public validator set; relies on Ethereum L1 validators | 399 sovereign validators (Core / Prime / Sovereign tiers) |
