For terms grouped by concept (chain identifiers, license tiers, staking, rewards, validator operations), see Terminology.
aauth — The base denomination of the THEO token. 1 THEO = 10¹⁸ aauth. All on-chain amounts are expressed in aauth.ASCF — Autheo Storage & Compute Fund. A fee reinvestment pool that redistributes network revenue to validators, developers, and ecosystem participants.autheod — The Autheo Chain node daemon binary. Current version: 1.0.8.autheo1... — The Bech32 prefix for Autheo Chain account addresses.autheovaloper1... — The Bech32 prefix for validator operator addresses.ACTIVE (license status) — A license that is committed to a validator with a live delegation. Earns per-block NFT emission rewards.
Base denomination — The smallest indivisible unit of a token. For THEO, this is aauth.BeginBlocker — A Cosmos SDK hook called at the start of every block. Autheo’s x/emissions module uses BeginBlocker to calculate and distribute per-block NFT rewards.Bech32 — A human-readable encoding format for addresses. Autheo uses autheo1... for accounts and autheovaloper1... for validator operators.Bonded — THEO that is actively staked to a validator and contributing to consensus security.BOUND (license status) — A license that is committed to a validator address but has no active delegation. Does not earn NFT rewards.
Chain ID — A unique identifier for a blockchain. Autheo Mainnet uses autheo_2127-1 (Cosmos format) and 2127 (EVM integer format). Autheo Testnet uses autheo_785-1 (Cosmos) and 785 (EVM).CometBFT — The consensus engine used by Autheo Chain (v0.38.17), providing Byzantine fault–tolerant block production.Consensus key — An Ed25519 key used to sign block proposals. Stored in config/priv_validator_key.json. Distinct from the operator key.Core license — An NFT license tier granting the right to delegate to external validators. Earns ~1,880 THEO per year.
Delegator — An account that stakes THEO to a validator without running a node. Requires a Prime or Core NFT license.Double-signing — Signing two different blocks at the same height. Results in permanent tombstoning.
eth_secp256k1 — The elliptic curve key algorithm used by Autheo Chain, identical to Ethereum. A single keypair controls both the Cosmos address and the Ethereum address.Ethermint — The Cosmos SDK–based EVM layer used by Autheo Chain, enabling full Ethereum JSON-RPC compatibility.EVM — Ethereum Virtual Machine. Autheo Chain runs a full EVM layer via Ethermint, compatible with Solidity contracts and Ethereum tooling.
Gas — A unit measuring the computational work required by a transaction. Fees on Autheo Chain are paid in aauth.IBC — Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. Autheo Chain supports IBC via ibc-go v10.1.1 for cross-chain transfers.ISSUED (license status) — A license that has been minted but not yet bound to a validator. Can be transferred or bound.
Jailed — A validator temporarily excluded from the active set. Can be resolved by submitting MsgUnjail.LicenseRecord — The Cosmos-side on-chain object representing a bridged NFT license.
MemIAVL — A RAM-based state tree used by Autheo Chain, requiring 8–16 GB of additional RAM above the process baseline.Moniker — A human-readable name assigned to a validator during MsgCreateValidator.NFT emission rewards — Per-block rewards minted by x/emissions based on license tier. Must be manually claimed via claim-nft-rewards.Operator key — The eth_secp256k1 key used to sign all staking, governance, and transaction messages. Stored in the keyring.
Prime license — An NFT license tier granting the right to delegate to external validators at a higher emission rate. Earns ~18,797 THEO per year.Productive deflation — Autheo’s economic model where network activity fees are reinvested into ecosystem pools, reducing effective supply while sustaining rewards.REVOKED (license status) — A license suspended by governance via MsgRevokeLicense. No operations are permitted while revoked.
Sentry node — A public-facing relay node that shields the validator’s IP address from direct exposure.Slashing — A penalty applied to a validator’s bonded stake for liveness failures or double-signing.Sovereign license — The highest NFT license tier, required to create and operate a validator. Earns ~187,969 THEO per year.Staking rewards — Proportional rewards from x/mint and x/distribution, based on delegated stake. Auto-accrued and manually withdrawn.THEO — The native token of Autheo Chain. Total supply: 7,000,000,000 THEO. Base denom: aauth.tmkms — Tendermint Key Management System. A remote signer that keeps the consensus key off the validator host.Tombstoned — Permanent validator ban resulting from double-signing. Cannot be undone; requires a new validator with a new consensus key.
Unbonding period — The duration (~21 days) during which unstaked THEO cannot be transferred. Slashing can still be applied during this window.Validator — A node operator that participates in CometBFT consensus. Requires a Sovereign NFT license.
