The Autonomys Network (formerly Subspace Network) ended 2024 on a high note, making remarkable strides in decentralization, scalability, and AI3.0 integration. The December 2024 report showcases a range of technical achievements, strategic partnerships, and community-driven initiatives that set the stage for a transformative 2025.
Mainnet Phase-1: A Strong Foundation for Decentralization
Autonomys Network successfully launched Mainnet Phase-1, reinforcing its core consensus mechanism and increasing network security through active farmer participation. Space pledging grew steadily, showcasing the network’s resilience and long-term viability.
To enhance usability, Space Acres, the network’s farming client, received regular updates, including performance optimizations and a more user-friendly experience.
Phase-2 Preparations: Scaling Beyond Expectations
As the network prepares for Mainnet Phase-2 in Q1 2025, it is refining its Auto EVM (formerly Nova) domain on the Taurus testnet. A key focus is on optimizing cross-domain messaging (XDM), ensuring seamless interoperability and enhanced performance.
Unlike most blockchains that support only 8-20 shards, Autonomys Network can scale beyond 100 shards, achieving near-optimal performance—a significant breakthrough in blockchain scalability.
Innovative AI & Web3 Integrations
Argu-mint: The First On-Chain AI Agent
One of December’s biggest highlights was the launch of Argu-mint, an AI agent with permanent on-chain memory. Unlike speculative AI tokens, Argu-mint’s value accrues directly to AI3, the L1 token of Autonomys Network, positioning it as a leader in AI3.0 innovation.
Astral Block Explorer & Auto SDK
The Astral Block Explorer is now mainnet-ready, featuring an improved UI and bug fixes. Meanwhile, Auto SDK and Auto Drive received key updates aimed at enhancing developer workflows and AI-powered dApps.
Strategic Partnerships Strengthening the Ecosystem
Autonomys Network expanded its ecosystem through several key partnerships:
🔹 FoxWallet – Enhancing multi-chain transactions and user-friendly onboarding.
🔹 Secret Network – Bringing decentralized confidential computing (DeCC) to Autonomys, enabling privacy-focused AI-powered dApps.
🔹 SEA DePIN – Strengthening adoption in the Asia-Pacific region through community engagement.
Additionally, the network continued TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) collaborations, ensuring enhanced security for AI-driven workloads.
Community Growth & Global Expansion
Community engagement remained a priority with several key initiatives:
✅ Auto Horizon Developer Challenge – Encouraging developers to build on Autonomys Network.
✅ Global Ambassador Program Revamp – Transitioning to on-demand onboarding for better alignment.
✅ Shenzhen Developer Sync – A successful offline event introducing the network to Chinese developers.
Autonomys Network also secured key media appearances, including features on CNBC Crypto World, Messari’s Unqualified Opinions Podcast, and more.
Looking Ahead to 2025: Mainnet Phase-2 & AI3.0 Expansion
As the network moves into Q1 2025, the focus remains on:
🔹 Finalizing Mainnet Phase-2 testing and launching the Auto EVM domain
🔹 Enhancing performance & cross-chain messaging
🔹 Expanding global partnerships, particularly in DePIN, TEE, and DeAI sectors
The foundation laid in 2024 sets the stage for Autonomys Network to lead the AI3.0 revolution, making decentralized AI-powered applications more scalable, secure, and impactful.
Stay tuned for more updates as Autonomys shapes the future of blockchain and AI!
