Verifiable AI infrastructure on a blockchain

Bitcoin for artificial intelligence

AETRON's economics follows Bitcoin's logic: 33 million tokens, halvings every four years, zero premine. The difference is one point. Each AET is created for cryptographically confirmed AI work - without hashes that have no practical value.

Two markets converging

Two independent markets are moving toward each other. At their intersection a new category appears, one the industry doesn't have yet: verifiable decentralized AI.

The bars are ceilings of the respective markets, not AETRON's revenue. AI infrastructure is measured in annual spending and the crypto market in capitalization: these are quantities of different kinds and cannot be added together. $1.2T by 2030 is the highest public estimate (S&P Global); the $3.5T DePIN figure is a WEF forecast for 2028. The scale is logarithmic: the values differ by hundreds of times. We estimate AETRON's addressable market conservatively at $150–300B.

The problem that opens the category

Today's Proof-of-Work burns roughly 170 TWh a year. That energy goes into hashes with no practical use. At the same time, regulators in Europe want to be able to verify which AI model made a decision about a citizen. The technology that closes this gap doesn't exist yet on the market. AETRON builds that exact thing.

The problem

Wasted mining

170 TWh a year goes into hashes that compute nothing

AI monopoly

Frontier models sit inside five to seven corporations

GPU shortage

Demand grows ten times faster than supply

The solution

Useful mining

The same compute goes into inference and model training

Decentralized AI

Any company or state can launch its own AI service without owning a data center

Fair launch

No premine. Every AET is minted for confirmed work

The opportunity

Window is open

The EU AI Act, the data center energy crunch, and the technology sovereignty debate happen to line up with a technology that's ready

Structural lead

Verification efficiency 20–100 times higher than known alternatives. Apple Silicon works as a full AI miner for the first time

Network effects

More neuronets and more stakers mean higher network throughput, which makes the economy stronger for everyone in it

What's been built

AETRON is an independent blockchain. Mainnet has been running since October 2025.

01

Base blockchain

12-second block time. Mainnet has been operating since October 2025.

02

Frontier - an EVM layer inside the same network

Any Ethereum smart contract runs on AETRON without rewriting. DeFi and AIfi live on the same chain, not on bridges between separate ones

03

Neuronets

Each neuronet is a self-contained AI service unit with three roles: owner, miners, stakers. Emissions split automatically

04

Proof of Intelligence

A cryptographic check on every AI task. Not reputation, not validator voting. A proof anyone can re-run

05

Stake = throughput

Stake on a neuronet works as a vote on its usefulness, and it raises the throughput of that neuronet at the same time

06

Heterogeneous mining

NVIDIA Ampere, Ada, Blackwell, AMD CDNA and Apple Silicon run inside one cluster. Verification works uniformly across all fifteen pairs of architectures

A cryptographic check on every AI task

Each miner must hand in a proof that the computation was done with the declared model, with the declared parameters, on the declared hardware. The proof is a composition of several independent signals of different nature, combined into a defensive architecture with dynamic rotation of verification parameters.

01

Signal composition

Several independent checks of different nature. The attacker can't bypass them with one strategy: even knowing the architecture of verification, they don't know the parameters of the specific check.

02

Margin 7500×

The numerical gap between the noise allowed for honest work and the best adaptive attack. Any practical attacker strategy gets detected long before reaching the noise floor.

03

Defense against Backdoor-in-the-Middle

A class of attacks on distributed training that stays open for every known competitor. AETRON closes it. Confirmed in final testing in May 2026.

04

Overhead 0.1%

Verification eats around one tenth of a percent of a miner's compute. Known alternatives spend two to ten percent. The gap is 20–100 times.

Emission split

  • Inside a neuronet: 80% to miners, 10% to the owner, 10% to stakers
  • At the block level: 90% to neuronets by confirmed work, 5% to chain validators, 5% to the treasury
  • Emission is paid only for confirmed work. Miss your re-checks or lose arbitration and that epoch brings nothing

AET is the only token of the network

  • Stake, emission and fees all run on the same AET
  • No premine. The full 33 million is minted in exchange for confirmed AI work
  • Emission is paid only for confirmed work, and it's spread evenly across the whole issuance schedule

Based on public data as of August 2026. Comparison of closest competitors

Where the token value comes from

The AET price doesn't grow from marketing or promises. It grows from the work neuronets do and from the stake that supports them.

What creates the value

Network participation

Creating a neuronet

The owner of a neuronet receives 10% of the emission that flows into their service

Staking

Stakers receive 10% of a neuronet's emission for backing it with their stake

Miner rewards

80% of a neuronet's emission goes to miners for confirmed AI work

Drivers of growth

Stake equals throughput

The stake behind a neuronet sets how many requests it can serve. Carrying more load requires more AET staked: demand for services becomes demand for the token

Utility demand

AET is needed for any operation in the network: launching a neuronet, staking, paying fees

Supply reduction

Stake locks tokens. Halvings every four years reduce emission

Network growth

Every new neuronet and every new miner increase the useful workload and the demand for AET

Ways to take part

The roles in the network do not exclude each other: you can come in with the token, with compute, with your own service or with infrastructure, and combine them.

01

Token

You bring
Buying AET at the early stage
You get
A share in the network's economy. The token works as stake in neuronets, as payment for fees and as the reward for work

The early entry is currently valued at $150–200M FDV

02

Compute

You bring
Buying GPUs or a ready-made cluster
You get
80% of a neuronet's emission is split between its miners by the volume of confirmed work and by uptime

A cluster connects through a single client and appears to the network as one miner, with no limit on the number of devices

03

Your own neuronet

You bring
An activation stake in AET and a model from the AETRON registry
You get
10% of the neuronet's emission, plus the right to sell access to the service on top of the network's compute

The computation is done by the network's miners, so no servers of your own are needed

04

Validator

You bring
Server infrastructure and the minimum stake
You get
5% of every block's emission is split between active validators, plus a vote on protocol decisions as the network moves away from Proof of Authority

The minimum stake is announced when validator slots are activated
