Autheo + The Graph

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. The Graph is Decentralized Indexing Protocol, Transform complex, onchain data into structured, verifiable insights in one blockchain native database. Autheo extends any stack by delivering compute, storage, DevHub, and AI inference as one integrated platform.

AutheoID — sovereign identity layer

Integrated DevHub for deployment

Single validator node = full stack access

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Autheo bring to The Graph?+
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. The Graph is Decentralized Indexing Protocol focused on Transform complex, onchain data into structured, verifiable insights in one blockchain native database. Autheo's unified architecture adds capabilities that complement The Graph by delivering compute, storage, AI inference, and sovereign identity without the need for fragmented tooling.
How does Autheo build on The Graph's foundation?+
Autheo delivers everything The Graph offers and extends it further. Where The Graph uses Proof-of-Stake with Proof-of-Indexing (delegated staking by indexers/curators/delegators) 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 The Graph?+
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.
