It turns out that #AI3 has been just updated to a critical mainnet release by #AutonomysNetwork , which is another milestone of the current evolving ecosystem of @DAO Labs #SocialMining . Update of June 18 improves the fundamental infrastructure of the Autonomys chain, strengthening the underlying protocols without creating interruptions to the continuity of farmers or node operators.
The main thing about the release is a hotfix on Proof-of-Time chain vulnerabilities. This fix of a weakness enhances the time integrity assurance in the network, which is one of the factors in secure consensus brought out in the update. At the same time, DSN synchronization procedures including faster segment downloading, precise tracking of the segment index also enhance reliability as well as faster data propagation.
Improvement on performance has been quite impressive. CPUs which make use of the AVX512F+VAES instruction sets have a verified improvement on PoT validation more than 2 times. Application of efficiency of more than 7% was also observed in non-accelerated platforms even in standard hardware set ups. Also, PoSpace proving processes were improved, implying long-term responsiveness of plotting.
The version, mainnet-2025-jun-18, has no chain wipe necessary, but is highly encouraged to all participants to keep the protocol healthy and receive rewards on participation. In the #AutonomysHub , participants started returning usage feedback, compatibility reports, and farming effectiveness measurements, which extend the feedback loop between the development of the protocol and its users.
With Autonomys still in the process of achieving its mission of enabling agent-native AI infrastructure, this release shows the hierarchical coordination process of engineering, community, and decentralized validation that characterize the modern blockchain ecosystem.
