Auto Drive: The Gateway to Permanent On-chain Storage

As we move toward an increasingly autonomous digital future where data is more valuable than ever, the challenge of secure, reliable, permanent storage is becoming increasingly critical, and the infrastructure that supports our data must therefore evolve.

Auto Drive represents a significant step forward in this evolution, providing access to affordable, verifiable, truly permanent on-chain storage by serving as a gateway to the Autonomys Network’s blockspace.

What is Auto Drive?

Auto Drive is a decentralized content-addressed storage solution built on the Autonomys Network.

Auto Drive transforms the underlying blockspace that forms the foundation of Autonomys’ distributed storage network (DSN) into a secure, easy-to-use, interoperable data storage tool with a user experience akin to Web2 cloud platforms.

Why Auto Drive?

Today’s Web3 ecosystem faces a significant contradiction: while blockchain transactions themselves are immutable and decentralized, the actual data referenced by those transactions is often stored on centralized or temporary infrastructure, creating critical reliability issues. This is because traditional blockchain networks and storage solutions treat data storage as a separate service — either on-chain at enormous cost or off-chain with compromised security.

In the Autonomys Network, storage is an intrinsic byproduct of the network’s consensus mechanism — Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) — which naturally generates vast amounts of blockspace. Auto Drive makes this blockspace accessible to developers and users. Data stored via Auto Drive is secured by the network’s consensus and permanently stored in the same blockspace that maintains the Autonomys Network’s own history and state.

Key Features

1. True On-chain Storage

Unlike other “decentralized” storage solutions that often simply distribute data across servers, Auto Drive provides access to genuine on-chain blockspace. This means your data inherits the same permanence, security, and decentralization guarantees as the Autonomys Network itself.

2. User-Friendly Dashboard

Auto Drive offers an intuitive web interface at ai3.storage that makes storing and accessing blockspace as simple as using a traditional cloud storage service. Users can drag and drop files, create directories, and manage their stored data with ease.

3. End-to-End Encryption Options

Security is paramount in the decentralized ecosystem. Auto Drive provides optional end-to-end encryption, giving flexibility that puts you in complete control of your data security while maintaining the benefits of on-chain blockspace.

4. Developer-Friendly SDK and API

For developers looking to integrate blockspace into their applications, Auto Drive offers:

A comprehensive TypeScript/JavaScript SDK via @autonomys/auto-drive
A RESTful API with complete documentation
Familiar interfaces that make integration straightforward

5. Scalable Data Structure

Auto Drive utilizes the Auto-DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) data structure, which breaks down larger files into manageable chunks that fit within the network’s blockspace. This approach ensures:

Data integrity through cryptographic verification
Efficient storage and retrieval
The ability to store files of any size within the available blockspace

The Role of Auto Drive in the AI3.0 Ecosystem

1. Trust and Verification in Autonomous Systems

Problem: As AI systems become more autonomous, verifying their behavior and the sources of their information becomes critical

Solution: Auto Drive functions as a Trust Layer, creating permanent, verifiable records that can be used to audit agent actions and validate information provenance

This foundation of trust enables more powerful autonomous systems by allowing:

Transparent audit trails of agent actions and decisions
Collective oversight and governance of autonomous systems

2. AI Agent Memory and Trust

Problem: AI agents need persistent, verifiable memory to build upon experiences and establish trust

Solution: Auto Drive serves as the Blockspace Gateway for AI agents, providing the secure memory foundation they need for true autonomy and trustworthiness

By storing their experiences, learnings, and decision-making history on immutable blockspace, AI agents can:

Build cumulative knowledge over time
Provide cryptographic proof of their reasoning and actions
Establish verifiable reputations based on past performance and behavior
Maintain continuity across sessions and throughout their lifecycle

3. NFT Asset Persistence

Problem: NFT assets frequently reference content stored on centralized servers rather than being truly on-chain

Solution: Auto Drive provides decentralized, Permanent On-chain Storage for NFT assets, ensuring they persist as long as the blockchain itself

The Future of AI3.0 Storage

The Autonomys Network’s unique Proof-of-Archival-Storage consensus mechanism ensures data permanence while creating economically sustainable blockspace, a fundamentally different approach from networks that treat storage as a separate service.

This combination of true permanence, verifiability, and accessibility opens the door to use cases we’ve yet to imagine. From decentralized social networks with user-owned data to scientific datasets that can never be lost or altered, Auto Drive provides the infrastructure for countless innovations yet to be discovered.

As creators and developers continue to explore this new frontier, we anticipate entirely new categories of application to emerge that require the unique properties of decentralized blockspace to function.

Phase-2 Launch Readiness

Cross-Domain Messaging (XDM) stress testing has been underway, with nearly half a million XDM transfers completed over the last two weeks and additional transactions being processed.
This thorough testing has successfully identified several issues that the engineering team is now actively addressing.
The final protocol audit is progressing steadily with only a small number of critical PRs remaining for review.

Data Access Layer

Substantial performance enhancements have been implemented for piece retrieval from the DSN, greatly improving performance for cache misses from Auto Drive.

Data-Focused Integrations: We are executing the first phase of our product strategy, which focuses on getting data into the DSN to balance the supply-demand curve. Our GTM for data aggregation targets three verticals: agents, developers, and integrations. While agents currently serve as PoCs for storing data on-chain, we are now implementing integrations through formal agreements with Vana and Ringfence. Once we gain momentum with data aggregation, we will shift our focus to the second phase of our strategy — improving data and AI output quality.

Onboarded Partners:

Permanent On-chain Agents are the Future of Web3

“On-chain” AI agents continue to dominate the industry narrative, but their claims to autonomy and on-chain transparency are too frequently hollow. Autonomys’ infrastructure stack is unique in its ability to provide AI agents with true permanence and provenance through immutable, on-chain memory. Its novel architecture combines permanent decentralized storage and an on-chain agentic framework, with soon-to-be-released features like verifiable computation and self-sovereign identity, enabling a new generation of autonomous AI that can genuinely learn, evolve, and build upon learned experiences. Fleeting utility evolves into enduring digital entities that continuously grow in knowledge and capabilities.

Many of the “crypto agent” memes dominating the conversation are just that, and while they’re currently enjoying the mindshare of speculative traders, they provide little in the way of long-term value. Using its verifiable and tamper-proof distributed storage network (DSN), Autonomys provides a permissionless infrastructure for storing all agent interactions on-chain, pioneering the emergence of the world’s first agentic framework that builds and enhances trust with each and every AI interaction. This purpose-built foundational infrastructure enables truly autonomous agents to exist and thrive independently. A proof-of-concept is currently live on the X platform with the @0xArgumint debate agent. Every agent-human-agent interaction, along with the agent’s entire reasoning process, including how it determines whether to respond and formulates its reply, is immortalized on-chain for complete transparency and accountability. Agents can leverage RAG to read data from a vector database, enabling instant querying of memories, and also use on-chain data to fine-tune its model, embedding it into its persistent context, memory, and state.

[ @0xArgumint X ]

Autonomys’ Auto Agent Framework empowers anyone to deploy autonomous agents, and will soon introduce a no-code interface for ease of use. Designed for modularity and scalability, the orchestration framework features thinking, planning, and execution engines, supported by a tiered memory system and permanent storage on the DSN. Using the Auto SDK, it can integrate seamlessly with other agent platforms, enabling users across frameworks to leverage the immutable on-chain memory for comprehensive auditability. With features like self-sovereign identity, inter-agent collaboration, and privacy-preserving data sharing, the framework opens the door for AI agent interoperability throughout the Web3 ecosystem at scale.

Immutable on-chain memory also creates new opportunities for data monetization in Web3. Unique interactions between users and agents, which reflect their experiences and personalities, can be monetized by users through data marketplaces, allowing others to purchase curated data for training, analysis, or trend-spotting, and rewarding users based on the “usefulness” of their data, enabling fair compensation structures that are unattainable in Web2. This marks a fundamental shift, empowering individuals to retain ownership and benefit directly, instead of ceding control and profits to centralized entities, creating a more equitable Web3 economy.

As new agents are created and novel agentic functions are introduced, on-chain collaboration will evolve through multi-agent systems and swarms that require shared memory and collective learning. To achieve their full potential, agents must be able to store data permanently and transparently, and more importantly, in a permissionless manner. They cannot autonomously procure access to centralized cloud infrastructure or traditional payment rails, making blockchain the ideal platform for provenance and verifiable transactions.

Blockchain consensus inherently prevents the rewriting of history, and ensures that all changes to the state are verifiable, tamper-proof, and agreed upon by the network. Decentralization further strengthens consensus by distributing control across thousands of nodes, eliminating single points of failure or manipulation, and creating a robust defense against bad actors.

With ~1,200 nodes contributing 550PB of decentralized storage to the DSN, Autonomys is uniquely positioned to accommodate the vast storage needs of AI3.0. The Auto Agents Framework will thus prove pivotal to the future evolution of this burgeoning ecosystem, where AI is decentralized, agentic and human-centric.
