In blockchain networks, farmers face a trade-off between dedicating storage to retain the entire blockchain history and allocating space for the consensus mechanism. This is known as the farmer’s dilemma, a critical challenge that threatens blockchain scalability and decentralization.
Autonomys, powered by the Subspace protocol, provides a groundbreaking solution. By using Proofs-of-Archival-Storage, Subspace enables farmers to store provably unique replicas of blockchain history without compromising consensus efficiency. This decouples storage from consensus, ensuring that farmers can contribute to the network while maintaining decentralization and security.
This approach allows Autonomys to streamline the storage process, enabling decentralized AI applications and supporting the growth of Web3 infrastructure. This solution is not only energy-efficient but also prevents data loss, paving the way for more scalable and accessible blockchain systems.
By solving the farmer’s dilemma, Autonomys and Subspace are shaping the future of decentralized technology, bringing new levels of efficiency to blockchain farming.
