Autheo officially launches its mainnet, aiming to build an "Internet Operating System" that connects the Web, blockchain, and AI.

BlockBeats News, June 30th. After five years of development, Autheo officially launched its mainnet on June 30th, introducing a decentralized coordination layer aimed at enabling native interoperability between the traditional Web, blockchain networks, and AI smart agents. The project's public testnet has attracted over 1.81 million wallet addresses, approximately 970,000 smart contracts, and 8.8 million transactions. Since the Phase 1 mainnet launch on May 12th, the number of wallets has grown more than 5-fold, and the number of smart contracts has increased by over 15-fold.

On the technical architecture side, Autheo integrates the TheoID decentralized identity solution that conforms to the W3C standard, the PQCNet communication security framework built on NIST post-quantum cryptography standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), a Cosmos SDK zero-layer native to IBC interoperability, and a layer-one execution environment compatible with EVM. It implements a proof-of-stake mechanism and block finality assurance is provided by CometBFT. Developers can natively deploy Solidity smart contracts or migrate existing applications from other EVM-compatible chains.

The project was co-founded by Scott Bayless and Todd Mortenson in July 2021. The team, comprising around 100 members from 25 countries, has undergone security audits by Halborn and CertiK. The native token, THEO, is expected to start trading on Hydrex.fi in early July, with more trading platforms to follow.
