Autonomys is advancing towards Mainnet Phase-2 with key developments in protocol optimization, user experience enhancement, and security fortification. Performance improvements are being rigorously tested on the Taurus testnet EVM, complemented by significant upgrades to our internal testing frameworks. User-centric features, such as a seamless cross-domain messaging (XDM) interface within Astral, are being integrated to facilitate effortless token transfers between the consensus chain and various domains. Concurrently, our domain staking and nomination processes are undergoing substantial refinements to enhance user engagement. Security remains paramount, with comprehensive audits of domains and XDM nearing completion.

Strategic collaborations continue to bolster our ecosystem. Our ongoing relationship with Vana will see the Auto SDK integrated into their platform as part of a broader partnership focused on enabling AI agents to access high-quality user data through Vana’s privacy-preserving DataDAOs. Our in-depth analysis of our bandwidth scalability design has resulted in a robust proof of its security and efficiency, with efforts now directed towards a comprehensive specification.

Phase-2 Launch Readiness

Our protocol team has been focused on preparing for the launch of domains and activation of token transferability. Key achievements include:

• Performance Optimizations and Testing: We are currently testing the recent domain performance optimizations on the Taurus testnet EVM and have also been making significant improvements to our internal testing framework.
• User Experience: We are integrating a user-friendly UI for cross-domain messaging (XDM) into Astral, enabling seamless token movement between the consensus chain and domains. Additionally, we have been testing and significantly improving our domain staking and nominating experience within Astral.
• Security: In addition to robust internal testing of domains and XDM, we are going through the process of our comprehensive audit of both of these components and will provide an update once this is completed.

Bandwidth Scalability Analysis and Spec

We have conducted an in-depth analysis for our bandwidth-scalability design, providing a rigorous proof for its security and efficiency. With this success, we are now working towards a complete specification.

Technical Integrations with Partners

• Vana: Entered into agreement to work with Vana on a bi-directional strategic integration for product. The Auto SDK will be featured within the Vana ecosystem with the goal of increasing adoption. Additionally, Vana and Autonomys will collaborate on Vana’s Data Access v0, enabling AI agents to utilize real, high-quality user data through Vana’s DataDAOs without compromising Vana user privacy. Vana and Autonomys developers will have the ability to build intelligent, adaptive applications that leverage permissioned, evolving datasets because of this collaborative integration.
• Ringfence: Committed to integrating our DSN as a storage solution into their SDK, with collaboration on agents to be explored in the future.

Northstar Metric

We have adopted the metric of Read/Write-per-Hour as the one metric that matters (OMM) for this phase in the project’s growth. This measures the bi-directional velocity of use for our DSN. As we continue to onboard builders, measuring the changes in this metric will give us the ability to understand and redouble our most effective efforts, driving efficient and strategic ecosystem growth.

Onboarded Partners

• Safe: (formerly Gnosis Safe) has been deployed on our Taurus Auto EVM domain, bringing multi-signature security to the Autonomys ecosystem.

Autonomys at Consensus Hong Kong

Autonomys was represented in Hong Kong and delivered two keynote presentations and two panel discussions alongside leading web3 projects including Aethir, Gaia, and io.net. We utilized this opportunity to connect with potential exchange listing partners and market makers to operationalize our GTM.

Autonomys at ETHDenver

ETHDenver featured multiple side-events planned with ecosystem partners, our HackSecret 5 hacker house, as well as the opportunity to connect with existing investors, partners, and potential collaborators. As the team regroups from Denver, all of our efforts now are focused on meaningful integrations, onboarding developers, and preparing for GTM.

TGE

As we continue to work towards our official listing and TGE, there has been significant progress made on our Auto EVM mainnet implementation, we are exploring multiple centralized exchanges as part of our commitment to ensure market access to our community, and we have completed multiple market maker assessments. We continue to monitor macroeconomic market conditions to ensure that our listing is beneficial to all of our community members and long-term investors.

Phase-2 Internal Working Roadmap

As we continue to work towards Mainnet Phase-2, we have defined operational tracks to ensure that our various organizations and departments are working closely to ensure a successful TGE. This includes various swim lanes across the Subspace Foundation, Engineering, Community, Marketing, Product, and Partnerships.

February has been a month of significant progress and collaboration for our network. We’ve established key partnerships with Safe and Phala Network, enhancing our multi-chain security and privacy features. Our Aurora Buildathon and HackSecret 5 events provided platforms for developers to innovate and build upon our network. Engaging with many of you at Consensus Hong Kong and ETHDenver has been invaluable, strengthening our community bonds. It’s inspiring to see users utilizing our Auto SDK and deploying agents using our framework, experiencing firsthand what sets Autonomys apart.

Unlike other networks where growth becomes a liability, our architecture is turning blockchain bloat into an asset, strengthening security as it scales rather than weakening it. With 1,500+ nodes contributing ~600 PB, we’ve created the most inclusive and secure network where anyone can run a node without ever increasing hardware requirements. This creates the perfect foundation for the agentic future, providing a truly permanent audit trail, ensuring that no single entity can rewrite history.

Approaching the commencement of Mainnet Phase-2, we look forward to providing an official update on our strategic plan and anticipate your participation in the forthcoming phase of development.
