It provides simple APIs for interacting with the [*consensus*](/autonomys-network/consensus.md) layer, utilizing [*data storage*](/autonomys-network/distributed-storage-network.md), managing [*decentralized identities*](/auto-suite/auto-id.md), and (soon) handling [*$AI3 payments*](/autonomys-network/rewards-and-fees.md), in addition to general-purpose functions essential for building decentralized applications (dApps)—all in JavaScript and TypeScript—abstracting away the complexities of blockchain and smart contracts. ## Key features * **Modular Architecture**: Use only the packages you need. * **Easy to Use**: Simplifies blockchain operations with high-level functions. * **Flexible**: Suitable for both beginners and experienced blockchain developers. * **Open-source**: Built by and for the community. ## Why the Auto SDK? * **Simplify Development**: Focus on your application’s logic rather than blockchain intricacies. * **Accelerate Time-to-Market**: Reduce development time with ready-to-use functions. * **Ensure Compatibility**: Stay up-to-date with the latest Autonomys blockchain protocols. * **Enhance Security**: Utilize well-tested code for critical operations like identity management.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://academy.autonomys.xyz/auto-suite/auto-sdk.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
