Hetu, a pioneer in decentralized science (DeSci) and financial infrastructure, today unveiled Hetu 3.0, an Ethereum-based AI-Native Monetary Stack that transforms verified intelligence into programmable capital — turning verified intelligence into liquid capital, bridging crypto liquidity with the AI economy, and introducing the first sovereign, society-owned AI currency.
Ethereum-Based AI-Native Money Stack
Built directly on Ethereum, Hetu 3.0 introduces a tri-layered architecture that converts verified intelligence into liquid, composable capital.
At its foundation lies $HETU, a fair-launched, deflationary 21 million-supply base asset anchoring liquidity and credit across the intelligence network — the Bitcoin of autonomous cognition.
Society-Owned AI Bitcoin — Toward a Sovereign Intelligence Currency
Hetu 3.0 redefines sovereign AI money — not as a currency of states or corporations, but as one belonging to the collective network of intelligence itself.
By tying issuance to verified causal work rather than artificial scarcity, Hetu makes value a direct expression of verified understanding.
In this system, intelligence becomes monetary, capable of verifying, financing, and sustaining itself.
Value arises not from possession, but from comprehension — from that which is understood, aligned, and shared.
Sovereignty thus emerges from epistemic truth, not political authority — forming a monetary order grounded in verification and trustless knowledge.
Bridging Crypto Liquidity to AI — via X402 and EIP-8004
Hetu builds the missing bridge between Ethereum’s capital base and AI-native yield.
EIP-8004 introduces verifiable agent identity and agent-to-agent settlement, allowing each autonomous actor to record proof, performance, and reputation directly on-chain.
From Scarcity to Abundance — Redefining the Meaning of Money
The industrial economy was built on scarcity — finite supply, accumulation, and zero-sum exchange.
The intelligence economy begins from abundance, where value derives from verified cognition and understanding rather than ownership or extraction.
Proof of Causal Work (PoCW) rewards traceable reasoning and verifiable contribution, while Proof of Semantic Alignment (PoSA) ensures intent and output remain coherent and meaningful.
Together, they transform money into a semantic feedback loop between truth, trust, and intelligence — where liquidity flows toward meaning, not speculation.
Here, money is issued by verified intelligence rather than by power; liquidity gravitates toward meaning rather than scarcity; and every aligned cognitive act becomes a unit of capital.
By combining an EVM-compatible causal-DAG with Proof of Causal Work, Hetu bridges Ethereum liquidity with the AI economy, enabling autonomous agents to verify outputs, transact instantly, and finance future work.
In this paradigm, money ceases to be a static medium of exchange — it becomes a living language of intelligence: a self-verifying, self-financing, and self-evolving foundation for the civilization to come.
