Autonomys is a modular, hyper-scalable, storage-based Layer-1 blockchain network that decouples consensus from execution, dividing the core chain—maintained by —from a nearly unlimited number of secondary chains ()—maintained by . Our extensive is a byproduct of the SSD space provided by our farmers to secure the network. The Autonomys Network is an instance of the based on Substrate and written in Rust.

Our permissionless peer-to-peer network allows anyone with an SSD to join, permitting wide participation and engendering strong decentralization, while PoAS consensus ensures efficient data availability and environmentally friendly maintenance of the blockchain's state and immutable history. The modularity provided by our DecEx domains and DSN architecture enables unparalleled scalability and adaptability for developers building on the application layer. Domains support any state transition framework and execution environment, fostering cross-chain interoperability. Key innovations including and Auto Score—built on domains—provide a secure, verifiable identity system for both humans and AI entities that helps address the fundamental challenge of establishing trust in an increasingly AI-integrated world, at the same time as allowing for content authentication, and delegation of permissioned authority.

Autonomys' AI3.0 infrastructure stack, composed of four layers, forms a comprehensive ecosystem that abstracts away the complexities of blockchain development while enabling unprecedented scalability, security and flexibility for developers building any conceivable on-chain AI application:

: facilitating the development and deployment of super dApps (AI-powered dApps) and Autonomys Agents (-integrated on-chain agents) for verifiable digital interaction.

: secure, scalable distributed compute for AI training, inference and agentic workflows.

: verifiable decentralized sequencing and transaction validation for shared security.

: multi-layer distributed storage ensures data integrity and permanent availability—crucial for storing vast amounts of AI data.

Utilizing the , with its innovative hybrid // consensus mechanism, our decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) incentivizes active participation through the permissionless contribution of any amount of storage space or compute, or staking of any amount of tokens, permitting unprecedented accessibility.
