Autonomys is an early-stage, venture-backed startup pioneering a new category at the intersection of AI and Web3. With our upcoming mainnet launch this year, the Autonomys Network is a radically decentralized, next-generation layer one blockchain powered by an innovative proof-of-archival storage (PoAS) consensus mechanism. Our project serves as a foundation for global collaboration between humans and AI, ushering in a new era of possibilities. The Subspace Protocol is based on original research funded by the US National Science Foundation. To learn more, visit our Website and read the technical whitepaper.
Product:
We are building comprehensive decentralized AI stack that integrates distributed storage, distributed compute, and a dApp suite. It is designed to support the development and deployment of AI-powered dApps and agents within a secure and decentralized framework. Auto ID is our robust, decentralized identity protocol providing secure, verifiable identities to both humans and AI agents. We envision a future where individuals and agents can interact securely and autonomously within a decentralized environment. Join us as we build the foundations of the Age of Autonomy—where technology amplifies human potential without compromising our values.
