I want to acquaint you with some of my experiences. Decentralized infrastructure is only as strong as the users who power it and to me that’s exactly what drew me to farming on Autonomys. I started my journey in March 2025, intrigued by its Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) model. Unlike passive staking systems, Autonomys farming is active, transparent, and rooted in real contributions to the network.
My Set up on my farming node was straightforward. I opted for the Linux .deb package on Ubuntu, allocated 1TB of storage, and forwarded the essential ports (30333 and 30433). To me the initial sync took some time, but the process was smooth and well-documented. What impressed me most was the clear interface—watching sectors sync, plot, and farm in real-time made the whole experience feel alive and meaningful.
What personally truly sets Autonomys apart for me is its reward mechanism. Personally instead of relying on token weight or idle staking, rewards are based on actual storage committed. It’s fair, logical, and aligns with the mission of building a censorship-resistant data layer for the internet. You're not just earning tokens; you’re reinforcing the network.
I want to encourage newcomers to have a few tips: start small—maybe 500GB to 1TB—to get a feel for it. Use SSDs for plotting to speed up the process. Make sure your ports are properly forwarded, as it directly affects your farming efficiency. I want to also emphasize that, the “Reduce CPU Load” setting is helpful if you’re farming on a machine you also use for daily tasks.
That said, there’s always room for improvement. Sync times could be faster, and a more detailed dashboard showing historical rewards would be a great addition. I will also say that auto-updating the GUI app would also enhance the user experience for non-technical users.
I will personally say that still, Autonomys has impressed me more than most decentralized protocols I’ve interacted with. Farming here isn’t just about ROI—it’s about being part of something bigger: a network built on real utility, real users, and a truly decentralized future.
