SHERIDAN, Wyo., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Autheo today confirmed that THEO is now live on Uniswap v3 on Robinhood Chain, completing the launch announced September 8. Autheo also announced the integration of TrustSwap and Team Finance token infrastructure into its developer ecosystem, giving projects building on Autheo access to an established suite of tools for creating, launching, managing, and distributing token-based economies.

Together, the developments expand both sides of Autheo’s emerging economy: where THEO can participate, and the infrastructure developers can use to build economies around applications.

This represents another step in the continued buildout of Autheo’s Internet Operating System — a decentralized coordination, orchestration, and execution layer designed to bring infrastructure, compute, storage, networking, identity, security, AI, blockchain, and economic services into a common environment. Mainnet and the economic layer are foundational components of that system, which continues to expand through native development, infrastructure, integrations, and partners.

Through the integration, Autheo developers will have access to tools for token creation, tokenomics configuration, liquidity locking, vesting, token lockups, staking, airdrops, multisender distributions, payroll, launch services, and whitelabel deployments. The infrastructure is designed to be non-custodial and verifiable on-chain, allowing developers to use established token-management systems without having to engineer and independently audit each component themselves.

The integration also expands THEO’s distribution footprint through The Crypto App, part of the TrustSwap ecosystem. The mobile application reports more than 5.7 million downloads and 80,000 reviews, giving THEO additional visibility among a global audience of digital-asset users.

THE OPERATING-SYSTEM PRINCIPLE

Modern applications increasingly require capabilities far beyond application logic: blockchain execution, identity, compute, storage, networking, communications, AI, payment infrastructure, economic incentives, tokenization, and other services. In today’s environment, those capabilities are often provided by separate platforms, each with its own interfaces, infrastructure, security assumptions, and integration requirements.

Autheo follows a different architectural philosophy: foundational capabilities should increasingly operate as coordinated services within a common environment. Its live Layer 1 Mainnet provides execution and verifiable settlement; Layer 0 is designed to coordinate activity across the broader architecture; and the Mesh is being developed to extend decentralized infrastructure into that environment. THEO provides the economic layer connecting participants across the system.

Above that foundation, the operating-system principle is straightforward: where proven infrastructure already exists, Autheo can integrate it; where capabilities must operate natively at the infrastructure level, Autheo builds them into the operating environment; and where developers create differentiated applications, the objective is to give them access to more of the underlying stack without requiring them to become experts in every component. TrustSwap and Team Finance bring one such specialized layer into that environment: token infrastructure. For developers, the aim is to reduce the foundational infrastructure they must assemble before they can build what actually differentiates their product.

“Distribution without utility creates attention; utility without distribution limits participation. A functioning digital economy needs both,” said Todd Mortenson, Founder and Managing Director of Autheo. “Taking THEO live on Uniswap v3 on Robinhood Chain expands the environments where our economic layer can participate. Integrating TrustSwap and Team Finance expands what developers can build with that economy. What separates an operating environment from a stack of disconnected tools is that the pieces actually work together. As DevHub, the Mesh Network, AI services, marketplaces, and applications come online, those pieces start connecting. That’s the transition we’re making now: from building the foundation to putting an Internet Operating System to work.”

TRUSTSWAP AND TEAM FINANCE

TrustSwap brings more than five years of operating history in token infrastructure to the Autheo ecosystem. Team Finance, TrustSwap’s token-management platform, supports token creation, liquidity locking, vesting, staking, distributions, payroll, tokenomics, and related token operations. TrustSwap reports that the platform has supported more than 40,000 deployments and projects across 26 blockchain networks and more than $2.7 billion in total value locked through its infrastructure.

The TrustSwap Launchpad adds capital-formation infrastructure, including multi-stage due diligence and KYC/AML processes. TrustSwap reports more than $100 million raised across more than 80 completed launches since 2020. The Crypto App extends the ecosystem into mobile distribution and discovery, with more than 5.7 million downloads and 80,000 reviews. THEO’s integration with The Crypto App provides another channel through which users can discover and follow the Autheo economy. Team Finance is also live on Robinhood Chain — with MintPlus, locking, vesting, and staking available on the network — connecting the TrustSwap ecosystem to the same network where THEO is now trading on Uniswap v3.

Team Finance’s core smart contracts are open-source and independently audited, including audits by CertiK, Hacken, BailSec, and Zokyo. Its locking and vesting architecture is non-custodial: according to TrustSwap, assets deployed through the applicable contracts are controlled by those smart contracts rather than held by TrustSwap, and TrustSwap states that it holds no custody over any locked or vested assets. This architecture aligns with Autheo’s broader objective of combining decentralized infrastructure with services that reduce unnecessary dependence on centralized custody.

TOKEN TOOLS AND SERVICES FOR THE AUTHEO ECOSYSTEM

Through Team Finance and TrustSwap, developers and ecosystem participants building within the Autheo environment will have access to a broad suite of token-management and launch capabilities:

  • Token Minting (Mint and MintPlus) — Create and deploy tokens using pre-audited smart-contract infrastructure. MintPlus combines token creation, liquidity configuration, and locking into a guided deployment process.
  • Tokenomics Configuration — Tools for modeling token supply, allocation, distribution, and unlock schedules before deployment.
  • TrustSwap Launchpad — Capital-formation infrastructure incorporating project review, due diligence, KYC/AML processes, token distribution, and launch support. TrustSwap reports more than $100 million raised across more than 80 completed launches.
  • Liquidity Locking — Time-verified smart contracts allow projects to lock DEX liquidity positions with terms that can be independently verified on-chain.
  • Vesting — Smart-contract-enforced vesting schedules supporting cliff, linear, and custom release structures.
  • Token Lockups — On-chain lockups for team, advisor, investor, or other token allocations, providing transparent and verifiable release conditions.
  • Staking — Create staking pools without developing staking smart contracts independently. Team Finance also provides embeddable infrastructure that can be incorporated into project interfaces.
  • Airdrops — On-chain token distribution capabilities for distributing assets across large numbers of wallets.
  • Multisender — Batch token distribution for token generation events, rewards, operational payments, campaigns, and other use cases.
  • Payroll — Recurring token-payment infrastructure with on-chain transaction visibility.
  • Whitelabel Infrastructure — Branded deployments allowing enterprise and ecosystem partners to integrate Team Finance capabilities into their own environments.
  • The Crypto App — THEO is integrated with The Crypto App, expanding token discovery and promotional reach through a mobile platform reporting more than 5.7 million downloads.

FROM APPLICATIONS TO ECONOMIES

Applications increasingly do more than deliver software functionality. Many coordinate participants, services, incentives, marketplaces, infrastructure, and value. Tokens can provide one mechanism for coordinating those economies — supporting incentives, access, governance, payments, ownership structures, rewards, or other forms of digital economic participation, depending on the application and its regulatory context.

Creating a token economy, however, requires infrastructure beyond the token itself. Developers must consider supply and distribution, liquidity, lockups, vesting schedules, staking mechanisms, community incentives, and, in some cases, fundraising and launch infrastructure. Building these systems independently demands development resources, security review, ongoing maintenance, and additional operational complexity. Through the TrustSwap and Team Finance integration, developers building within the Autheo ecosystem can access established infrastructure for these functions rather than starting from zero.

The distinction is deliberate. Autheo provides the shared operating environment. TrustSwap and Team Finance provide specialized token infrastructure that developers can use within that environment. An operating system does not need to recreate every specialized service built above it; its value comes from establishing a common environment in which those capabilities can operate together. Autheo is applying that principle to decentralized infrastructure.

“Building a token economy is a test of operational discipline. Autheo is building serious infrastructure for the next phase of Web3, and an ecosystem of that ambition deserves the same rigor underneath it,” said Ivan Anastassov, COO of TrustSwap. “Through Team Finance’s non-custodial locking, vesting, staking, and token-management infrastructure, together with discovery through The Crypto App, we’re giving Autheo’s token, its developers, and projects building on the network established tools for transparency and trust. That’s the kind of infrastructure that helps turn a token launch into a lasting ecosystem.”

AN EXPANDING DEVELOPER ECOSYSTEM

The TrustSwap and Team Finance integration is one component of a broader developer environment forming around Autheo’s Internet Operating System. Autheo’s Mainnet is live, with public RPC endpoints, a block explorer, and developer documentation available today. DevHub is designed to serve as the entry point for developers building on the network. Layer 0 is intended to coordinate activity across the broader architecture, and the Mesh is being developed to extend decentralized compute, storage, and networking. THEO provides the economic layer connecting participants across the ecosystem.

As that environment expands, third-party services can add specialized capabilities without requiring Autheo to recreate every technology internally, and without requiring developers to independently assemble every component before they can build an application. Additional developer tools, infrastructure services, and partner integrations are expected to be announced as the ecosystem continues to grow.

“The next generation of the Internet won’t be built by asking developers to keep assembling more disconnected infrastructure,” said Scott Bayless, Founder and Managing Director of Autheo. “That fragmentation is one of the problems Autheo was created to solve. Our vision for an Internet Operating System is to give builders a common environment where infrastructure, execution, identity, security, AI, blockchain, and economic services can work together — and where proven technologies can be integrated rather than rebuilt from scratch. TrustSwap and Team Finance fit that philosophy. They bring mature, audited, non-custodial token infrastructure into the Autheo ecosystem, so developers can mint, lock, vest, stake, and launch without having to engineer and audit those systems themselves. Applications are increasingly becoming economies of their own. Our job is to give developers the foundation for both — so they can spend less time rebuilding infrastructure and more time creating what comes next.”

As open ecosystems grow, transparency and provenance become increasingly important. Autheo has observed unauthorized tokens and projects using the Autheo or THEO name and branding. Users and developers should verify official token contracts, integrations, and ecosystem resources through Autheo’s official channels before interacting with any asset claiming an Autheo affiliation. Audited, non-custodial infrastructure can help developers establish verifiable on-chain parameters, but use of TrustSwap, Team Finance, or any other integrated tool does not by itself constitute endorsement by Autheo.

THEO STAKING AND NETWORK PARTICIPATION

THEO holders can participate in Autheo staking through an embedded Team Finance staking interface at autheo.com/staking, where staking opens soon. The staking pool is powered by Team Finance infrastructure embedded directly within autheo.com, connecting the TrustSwap and Team Finance integration to THEO holder participation. Users connect a supported wallet such as MetaMask or a WalletConnect-compatible wallet, choose an amount of THEO to stake, and confirm the transaction; the stake then earns rewards on Autheo Mainnet. No account, sign-up, hardware, or node operation is required. Unstaking terms are set by the staking pool contract and should be reviewed before confirming a stake.

Developers interested in building applications, services, protocols, infrastructure, or digital economies on Autheo can access network documentation, developer resources, and Mainnet infrastructure through the links below.
