Earlier this month, we announced Pay with AI3, the ability to purchase Auto Drive storage credits directly with AI3, Autonomys’ native token, with no intermediary required. Today we’re taking the next step.
Full Pay with AI3 support is now available in the Auto SDK, starting with @autonomys/auto-drive v1.6.10.
Developers are integral to the evolving Autonomys ecosystem, and this update reflects that. Rather than expecting builders to reverse-engineer payment flows from the API, we packaged the entire Pay with AI3 experience into four guided SDK function calls. Our goal was to fundamentally simplify the developer experience so that curious developers can experiment without friction and serious ones can deliver impact without unnecessary detours.
Some of you may have seen Eulonomys, the open-source reference app we built to prove out Pay with AI3 end-to-end (GitHub). Eulonomys was built with a custom payment service that handled intent creation, transaction watching, status polling, and price conversions manually. That code has now been absorbed into the SDK as first-class methods, with two additional capabilities on top: live price estimates and contract details without hardcoding anything.
The update is purely additive, so everything you have already built continues to work exactly as before. Your existing upload and download calls are completely unaffected. The SDK README includes complete examples for both viem and wagmi if you want copy-paste starting points.
Updated developer documentation is available at: develop.autonomys.xyz/sdk/auto-drive.
Update to the latest SDK: npm install @autonomys/auto-drive@latest
