← Back to ShopLearn About Aetheron
Aetheron is an AI component marketplace built on the X402 protocol — enabling decentralized, on-chain access to intelligent modules. Every AI call is settled transparently with USDC or $AETH and verified on the blockchain.
What Are Components?
Components are focused AI modules such as Prompt Optimizer, Code Explainer, and PersonaSim. Each performs a single intelligent task — from rewriting prompts to auditing code — and returns a verifiable premium file (PDF or TXT). Every interaction is handled through an on-chain 402 payment pattern.
Think of Aetheron as an app store for micro-intelligences — self-contained AI units you can call directly with your wallet.
How the X402 Protocol Works
X402 defines a new pay-per-use pattern for AI endpoints. When a component is invoked, the backend may return a 402 Payment Required response, prompting the user to complete an on-chain payment. Once verified, the component automatically executes and returns the output.
This ensures trustless access control — no subscriptions, no API keys, and no centralized billing.
Connecting Your Wallet
Click the Connect Wallet button at the top. Aetheron currently supports Phantom Wallet. In Q1 2026 we will add support for MetaMask aswell. Once connected, you can initiate verified transactions directly from your browser.
Ethereum and other chains will be added in future releases — ensuring full multi-chain compatibility.
Do I Need Crypto?
Yes — Aetheron runs fully on-chain. You can pay using USDC or our native token, $AETH. This keeps everything transparent, verifiable, and independent of traditional billing systems.
Built for Developers, Analysts, and Creators
- Developers: integrate AI logic into Web3 apps without API keys.
- Analysts: generate verifiable AI reports that can be shared or tokenized.
- Creators: purchase one-off AI outputs or automate creative workflows.
What Makes Aetheron Different?
- 100% transparent on-chain billing through X402.
- Each AI module is isolated, composable, and verified.
- Outputs are cryptographically tied to transaction IDs for authenticity.
Aetheron merges the reliability of blockchain with the creativity of AI — building a new category of autonomous digital labor.
