Aetheron

AETH

Aetheron is a decentralized AI component marketplace built on the Solana blockchain that enables pay-per-use access to modular AI services through verifiable on-chain transactions. Instead of relying on subscriptions, API keys, or centralized billing systems, Aetheron implements a transaction-bound execution model inspired by the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” pattern. Each AI component invocation requires a verified blockchain payment before execution occurs. Once payment is confirmed, the component executes exactly once and returns a single output artifact, such as a report or document, that is cryptographically associated with the originating transaction signature. This design ensures transparent pricing, deterministic execution, and verifiable output provenance. The platform is non-custodial and does not store user funds or private keys. Payments can be made using USDC or the native AETH token. Aetheron is designed for developers, analysts, and creators who require trust-minimized access to AI functionality that can be independently verified and audited.
