There are many Web3 projects out there promising decentralization, but very few deliver it in a way that’s actually accessible to real users. Autonomys is different.
Their farming system—powered by a lightweight desktop app called Space Acres—makes it possible for anyone to contribute to decentralized infrastructure by simply sharing unused SSD storage.
No staking. No token lockups. No expensive GPUs.
Just real, hardware-backed participation.
What Makes Space Acres Stand Out?
🔹 Effortless Setup
You can be up and running in under 10 minutes. It supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux—no complex setup or technical experience needed.
🔹 Low Resource Impact
The app is lightweight and runs quietly in the background. I haven’t had to alter my workflow or dedicate special hardware.
🔹 True Global Network
Autonomys has seen contributions from 100,000+ farmers in over 60 countries. To date, more than 600PB of storage has been pledged by real people—not data centers.
What I’d Like to See Improved
A more advanced farm dashboard for tracking performance
Mobile-friendly options to monitor farms remotely
These are small gaps in an otherwise seamless experience.
Getting Started is Simple

This is more than passive income—it’s a meaningful way to participate in the future of decentralized AI infrastructure.
