Our network provides the infrastructure to scale decentralized AI3.0 applications on-chain—hyper-scalable permanent data storage, super fast data availability & flexible EVM-compatible decoupled execution.

Autonomys Network

Our AI3.0 ecosystem stack is designed to provide all the necessary components to build and deploy AI-powered dApps (super dApps) and agents, and includes:

Permanent Storage

Our distributed storage network (DSN) ensures data integrity and permanent availability—crucial for storing vast amounts of AI data.

Decoupled Execution

Our customizable DecEx environments (domains) for secure, scalable smart contract, super dApp and agent deployment on Substrate or any-VM.

PoAS Consensus

Our unique Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus chain for decentralized sequencing, and transaction validation and settlement.

AI3.0

AI1.0

Centralized
Machine Learning

Deep learning becomes widespread as developers are able to build models with the likes of TensorFlow and PyTorch running on cloud computing provided by Big Tech. Humans are primarily passive consumers of AI technologies, interacting with narrow, rule-based systems designed for specific tasks.

AI2.0

Centralized
Generative AI

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, emerge alongside other Generative AI technologies built by Big Tech. Humans are offered more interactive AI experiences, albeit still through platforms controlled and deployed by centralized entities.

AI3.0

Decentralized
Human-centric AI

Open, accessible and collaborative web3-enabled AI model, app and agent development and deployment. Decentralization ensures a transparent, composable and secure ecosystem where innovation thrives. Humans not only interact with AI, but customize, train and deploy their own highly personalized Autonomys agents to act on their behalf, blurring the boundary between AI creator and consumer. The Age of Autonomy is the culmination of this paradigm.

Subspace Protocol

Our novel Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus mechanism maintains the honest majority assumption and permissionless nature of Nakamoto consensus without the massive electricity cost of mining.

Network Stack

We have built the Autonomys Network from first principles to simultaneously achieve scalability, security and decentralization. At its core, the Autonomys Network implements Subspace, a novel storage-based consensus protocol that separates consensus from execution. This proposer-builder separation allows the Autonomys Network to independently scale transaction throughput and storage requirements while maintaining a fully decentralized blockchain.

dApps

Develop, deploy and interact with AI-powered decentralized applications (super dApps) and verifiable Auto ID-integrated on-chain agents (Autonomys agents). Utilize Autonomys Identity (Auto ID), our custom, self-sovereign identity domain for humans and AI.

Domains (Execution)

Access a limitless number of independent configurable execution environments for scalable computation, decentralized AI training and inference, and secure agentic workflows, all via distributed compute. Domains separate smart contract calls and transaction execution from consensus, allowing for modular application-specific blockchains (app-chains) interoperable through our unique cross-domain communication protocol.

Optimistic execution

Independent runtimes (EVM, WASM, etc.), state & history

Highest performance

Low gas fees

Unlimited storage

Consensus

Harness shared security with verifiably decentralized sequencing, transaction validation and settlement via our Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) chain, and ensure a single, immutable source of truth for blockchain state and history across all nodes participating in the network.

Decentralized sequencing

Shared security

Minimal state

Storage

Ensure permanent data availability and integrity—crucial for storing vast amounts of AI data—with our distributed storage network (DSN) of farmers. Our DSN also stores all chain data, so the entire history is always retrievable, no matter how large it grows.
