Autonomys at Consensus2025: On-Chain AI Infrastructure Developments

Autonomys presented its decentralized AI infrastructure at #Consensus2025 in Toronto, held May 14-16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The company conducted live demonstrations of its Auto Agents Framework, showcasing on-chain execution of AI agents. The framework operates on the Autonomys Network, which uses a storage-based consensus protocol (Proof-of-Archival-Storage) to separate consensus from execution, enabling scalable and decentralized AI applications.

Additional highlights included discussions with developers and researchers on permissionless AI execution and composability, alongside a focus on permanent memory architecture for reliable data storage. Autonomys went ahead to emphasize its open-source approach, inviting collaboration within the Web3 ecosystem. The network’s design supports hyper-scalable data storage and EVM-compatible execution, addressing challenges in decentralized AI training and inference.

#Autonomys leverages blockchain to enable decentralized AI applications through a storage-based consensus mechanism. Unlike traditional proof-of-work or proof-of-stake, this approach uses archival storage to secure the network, ensuring permanent data availability for AI processes. The Auto Agents Framework allows verifiable AI execution on-chain, supporting applications like decentralized identity (Auto ID) and modular app-chains, which enhance scalability and interoperability in Web3 environments.
