/ Aetheron / $AETH
← Back to Shop$AETH
LiveThe token that pays for Aetheron. It is not a separate product, a governance wrapper or a claim on revenue: it is a second way to pay for the same calls, priced under USDC, and burned rather than kept once it is spent.
Official contract address
This page reads the address straight from the running configuration. If the panel below is empty, the mint does not exist yet and nothing has launched.
How to be sure you have the right token
- There are exactly three places an official address is published: this page at aetheronprotocol.com/token, the source repository, and @Aetheron402. All three will agree. If they do not, trust none of them and wait.
- Compare the address in full. The first and last four characters are not enough, and a wallet that shows you only those is not showing you enough to decide.
- Nobody will ever send you the address first. Treat any Aetheron token announced anywhere else, or before it appears here, as fake.
- A launch does not need your keys, your seed phrase or a signature to "claim" anything. There is no airdrop, no presale, no allocation and no whitelist.
What it does
Two mechanics, both built after the token exists rather than switched on by its arrival.
Fee tier
Q3 2026Paying in AETH costs less than paying in USDC for the same call. It sits in the pricing layer rather than running as a promotion, so it is not a code that expires and not a discount that has to be claimed. You pay less because of what you paid with.
Burn on use
Q3 2026The AETH taken as payment is burned instead of kept. Burns are made in batches rather than one per payment, so the counter below will show an amount waiting to be burned between them. Supply falls because the product is being used, not because of a buyback or an announcement, and every burn is a transaction on chain that anyone can count without asking us.
What that looks like against the prices on the shop today. The rate is not finalised, so treat the AETH column as the shape of it rather than a committed number.
| Component | USDC | In AETH |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt Optimizer | 0.25 | 0.20 |
| Code Explainer | 0.50 | 0.40 |
| Prompt Tester | 0.50 | 0.40 |
| Risk Engine | 0.75 | 0.60 |
| Contract Intelligence | 1.00 | 0.80 |
| Agent templates | 4.99 | 3.99 |
Burned so far
Counted from the records on both sides, not kept as a running total. Every burn is confirmed against the chain before it is recorded here, so these are transactions you can open and check rather than figures we published. If it reads zero, nothing has been burned yet, and it will say so.

waiting on the next burn
No burns yet. When AETH is taken as payment it gets destroyed rather than kept, and every one of those transactions will be listed here with a link to Solscan. You can also check the supply directly on the mint: solscan.io/token/D3qncuGs...
What happens at launch
The AETH payment path is already written and already tested. It sits dormant with no mint configured, which is why the shop is USDC only right now.
The mint is created on pump.fun. No presale, no allocation, no team unlock, and no liquidity we control.
The address is set as AETH_MINT_ADDRESS,
and appears on this page the moment it is. No redeploy and no code
change, because there is nothing to change.
AETH becomes payable everywhere at once: the shop, the SDK, and the
accepted_methods in every
402 response the API returns.
The fee tier and the burn are built on top of that, after launch. They are not automatic, and this page will say plainly when each one is live.
Further out
Where the token reaches past paying for calls. Dates are on the roadmap, and nothing here is built yet.
Creator revenue sharing
Q4 2026Publish an agent template to the store and be paid per sale, settled straight to your wallet, with the protocol cut taken at settlement rather than invoiced.
Component reputation
Q3 2027Ranking built from settled usage and verified outputs, not from stars anyone can buy.
Governance
Q4 2027Voting on component inclusion, protocol fees and treasury allocation, weighted by holdings and by usage rather than by holdings alone.
Protocol grants
Q4 2027Treasury funded grants for the components the registry shows people asking for and nobody has built.
What it is not
- Not required. Every component is payable in USDC and always will be. AETH is a cheaper option, never a gate.
- Not a security. It buys calls. It is not a share of revenue and it does not entitle you to a payout.
- Not custodial. Aetheron holds no keys and cannot move, freeze or claw back anything you hold.
- Not a promise of price. Burning supply is a mechanic, not a forecast, and usage is what drives it.
Nothing here is financial advice. Aetheron does not control liquidity on pump.fun and cannot influence what the token trades at. Buy only what you can afford to lose, and verify the address in more than one place before you send anything anywhere.
