Some records are too important to lose or to let anyone quietly change.

Autonomys keeps them whole, available, and verifiable for as long as it matters. Which is to say, indefinitely.

Compliance & audit
Audit trails and regulatory records whose entire value is that they can't be altered after the fact.
Contracts & legal
Signed agreements, titles, and deeds. The stored copy provably matches the one you signed.
Financial records
Ledgers, disclosures, and transaction history that hold up to scrutiny years later.
Research & data
Datasets and locked results that stay reproducible and incorruptible long after the study ends.
Personal & health
Records and archives that should outlive any one vendor or provider.
AI agent memory
Context your agents read on every call, provably unchanged since you wrote it.
→ The sharpest case — more below.

AI agent hallucination is the known problem. Unverifiable agent memory is the silent one.

An AI agent is only as reliable as the memory it reads from.
You chose the model. You wrote the prompt. You audited the tools.

Memory integrity is the one variable still outside your control. Until now.

Model ✓
You chose it.
Prompt ✓
You wrote it.
Tools ✓
You audited them.
Memory ?
Outside your control.

Autonomys gives agent memory the same auditability as the rest of your stack.

01
It can't drift
The context your agent reads today is byte-for-byte what it read yesterday. No silent edits between calls.
02
It can't be poisoned
Prompt-injection and supply-chain attacks rewrite what an agent knows. Memory stored on Autonomys rejects the change.
03
It can't vanish
No expiring buckets, no vendor deprecation. The memory your agent depends on is there for good.

Access permanent storage through familiar interfaces.

Upload and retrieve your data with the tools you already use.

Upload through the web app, SDK, or API: every file comes back with a verification hash you can trust, indefinitely.

Example Code
Uploading
upload.ts
import { fs, createAutoDriveApi } from '@autonomys/auto-drive';
import { NetworkId } from '@autonomys/auto-utils';

// Initialize the AutoDrive API with your API key and desired network
const api = createAutoDriveApi({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',        // Replace with your actual API key
  network: NetworkId.MAINNET     
});

// Upload a file from the local filesystem
(async () => {
  const cid = await fs.uploadFileFromFilepath(api, './myfile.txt');
  console.log(`File uploaded! CID: ${cid}`);
})().catch(console.error);
Downloading
download.ts
import { createAutoDriveApi } from '@autonomys/auto-drive';
import { NetworkId } from '@autonomys/auto-utils';

// Initialize the AutoDrive API with your API key and network choice
const api = createAutoDriveApi({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',        // Replace with your actual API key
  network: NetworkId.MAINNET     
});

// Download a file by its CID
const downloadFile = async (cid) => {
  const stream = await api.downloadFile(cid);
  const chunks = [];
  for await (const chunk of stream) chunks.push(chunk);
  const fileData = Buffer.concat(chunks);
  console.log('File downloaded successfully');
  return fileData;
};
Examples of API calls
Example Code
Authenticate with your API key
upload.sh
# Authenticate with your API key (get one at ai3.storage)
# POST your file to the Storage API - it gets chunked into
#   IPLD nodes and stored permanently on the Autonomys network
curl -X POST "https://mainnet.auto-drive.autonomys.xyz/uploads/file" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Auth-Provider: apikey" \
  -F "file=@./myfile.txt"

# Returns the file's CID - its permanent content address
# -> { "cid": "bafkr6i..." }
Fetch any file by its CID
fetch.sh
# Fetch any file by its CID - no API key needed, works in any browser too
curl -O "https://gateway.autonomys.xyz/file/YOUR_FILE_CID"

# That's it - the CID is all you need to retrieve the file

Enterprise-grade privacy, on your terms.

Encryption with Auto Drive is a choice you control, not a default we impose. Turn it on and your files are encrypted on your own device with AES-256-GCM, the same standard trusted by financial institutions and governments worldwide, and one built for the quantum era. This means what you protect now holds up against both today's computers and tomorrow's quantum machines.

And because no one else holds your keys, not even us, you get permanent, verifiable, and private storage that stays protected as technology advances. Bring your own encryption or use ours.

Most storage rents you space. Stop paying, and your data disappears.

Auto Drive is different. You pay once, and your data is stored permanently. No subscriptions, no pinning, no renewals.

For the curious:
how it actually works.

Files are sharded, erasure-coded, and stored across thousands of independent nodes. A novel consensus protocol called Proof-of-Archival-Storage rewards nodes for keeping data available, not for burning electricity.

Every read returns a cryptographic proof your agent can verify before trusting the content. If a single byte changes, the proof fails.
