Our Evolution from Subspace to Autonomys

Autonomys began with a shared conviction: that the future of the internet needed a decentralized, community-owned foundation — one that preserved data permanently, remained scalable without compromise, and invited global participation without privilege. That vision first took shape as the Subspace Network, a research initiative born from open-source collaboration and sustained by years of deep technical work.

Between 2018 and 2020, founders Jeremiah Wagstaff and Nazar Mokrynskyi met through GitHub and co-founded Subspace Labs. Their mission: to create a decentralized base layer that could support internet-scale dApps where users — not centralized intermediaries — controlled their own data. Backed by research grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Web3 Foundation, their early R&D laid the technical groundwork for what would become a fourth-generation Layer-1 blockchain.

In 2021, Subspace Labs introduced its novel consensus mechanism — Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) — and launched the Subspace Network. This approach rewarded farmers for storing provably unique pieces of blockchain history using commodity hardware, ensuring accessibility for everyday participants. PoAS ties consensus directly to permanent storage, meaning the more space a farmer contributes, the more history they store, and the greater their chances of block and vote rewards. This model doesn’t just make data availability and integrity cryptographically enforceable; it makes them economically aligned with network security. The network would scale proportionally with user growth, offering what many considered an unsolvable combination: decentralization, scalability, and security.

By 2022, Subspace became the first protocol to offer dynamically available permanent distributed storage, archiving entire ecosystems like Polkadot and its parachains. That year, 30,000+ nodes across 60+ countries participated in the Gemini II incentivized testnet, pledging over 1.3 PiB of storage. Backed by a $33M strategic round led by Pantera Capital and joined by Coinbase Ventures, ConsenSys Mesh, and others, Subspace Labs expanded its infrastructure by introducing domains — decoupled execution environments for modular runtime support. In 2023, the first domain — Nova, our Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) runtime, now called Auto EVM — was launched on the Gemini III testnet.

By 2023, it was clear that the same infrastructure powering permissionless storage and modular execution could serve a broader, emerging use case: decentralized AI. As machine learning and autonomous agents began demanding high-throughput, verifiable, and censorship-resistant infrastructure, the Subspace team recognized an inflection point. In 2024, Subspace Labs and the Subspace Network transitioned into Autonomys Labs and the Autonomys Network — marking a shift in mission toward enabling radical autonomy for humans and bounded autonomy for AI, while continuing to build on the technical foundations originally laid under Subspace.

As Autonomys, we refined our roadmap to focus on providing the foundational infrastructure for AI3.0 — a term we use to describe the next era of decentralized, agent-driven artificial intelligence. In this new paradigm, AI agents interact with data, systems, and users across trustless, verifiable environments — requiring storage, computation, and identity frameworks that cannot be owned or controlled by centralized actors.

Since then, we’ve reached several major milestones:

Successfully launched Mainnet Phase-1, bootstrapping consensus and activating our storage layer on mainnet.
Onboarded 1,000+ globally distributed farmers, who have pledged over 500 petabytes of SSD storage to the network — now available as a permanent, on-chain storage solution for any project that can benefit from it.
Continued expanding our modular AI3.0 stack, including:
Auto Drive — Our gateway to on-chain permanent storage, offering a familiar interface and true Web3 data guarantees
Auto Agents Framework — Our framework for building truly autonomous on-chain AI agents with permanent memory and chain of thought
Auto SDK — Our developer toolkit that simplifies building and integration with TypeScript and RESTful API support
Auto ID — Our upcoming self-sovereign identity primitive, designed to enable secure, verifiable human–agent interactions at scale

Autonomys is now a purpose-built foundation for a world where AI agents, humans, and systems operate on verifiable data — stored, secured, and served by a decentralized network. We’re building toward a future that doesn’t require trust, because its architecture leaves no room for doubt.

As we look ahead to Mainnet Phase-2 — which will introduce $AI3 token transferability, roll out our domain layer, and launch Auto EVM — we remain committed to the same first principles that started this journey: decentralization without compromise, participation without privilege, and permanence without trade-offs.

To our community — thank you. Your support is what made our growth journey from Subspace to Autonomys not just possible, but powerful.

Autonomys Mainnet Phase-2 Transfer Enablement Scheduled for July 16, 2025 (16:00 UTC)

The Subspace Foundation will enable native token transfers on the Autonomys Network at 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. This activation marks the formal start of Mainnet Phase-2 and will introduce asset mobility across the protocol.

Why Transfer Enablement Matters

This milestone signals the transition from a bootstrapped core infrastructure to an operational decentralized network with active user-driven value flow.

When transfers go live, the network stack will include:

A globally distributed, high-throughput Decentralized Storage Network (DSN) that is permissionless and permanent
Auto Drive, giving users intuitive access to DSN-stored content
The Auto SDK, providing developers with tools to build, read, and write to the DSN programmatically
The Auto Agents Framework and MCP tooling, enabling AI agents with on-chain verifiability and permanent memory
A network where transfers are possible, unlocking ecosystem utility and bringing the token economy online

Community Livestream — July 16, 2025 (16:00 UTC)

To commemorate the milestone, the Foundation will host a Mainnet Phase-2 Launch Party via livestream featuring:

Enable transfers live
Introduce the Dawn of Autonomy community campaign
Share updates on domains
Discuss exchange listing plans
Unveil the new grants program and ecosystem growth strategy

The event will be broadcast on Autonomys’ YouTube, X (Twitter), and additional channels.

Community questions may be submitted ahead of time at:
https://forms.gle/bENpqWCBiY8kk8Ls8

Next Steps

Transfer enablement marks the start of a broader Phase-2 rollout planned for the coming quarters. This includes:

Auto EVM domain launch and application deployment
Expanded Auto Drive and Auto Agent functionality
Enhanced support for developer tooling and standards
New integrations and ecosystem incentives

Farmers, builders, partners, and all community members are encouraged to join the livestream for information on community initiatives, LIVE transfer activation, next steps for domains and exchanges and opportunities to participate in the next phase of Autonomys.

Security Milestone: SRLabs Audit Confirms Autonomys Mainnet Phase-2 Readiness

Security Audit Wraps Ahead of Mainnet Phase-2, Clearing Path to Token Transfers

Subspace Foundation is pleased to announce that Autonomys has reached a decisive inflection point: Security Research Labs (SRLabs) has concluded the latest installment of its Continuous Security Assurance of the Autonomys Network. The audit — focused predominantly on domains and supporting architecture including cross-domain messaging (XDM), fraud-proof pipeline, Proof-of-Time, and Proof-of-Archival-Storage — completes a critical hardening step ahead of Mainnet Phase-2.

Audit in Numbers

Takeaway: All critical security items identified by the audit have been addressed and remaining items are lower-priority improvements that are being tracked publicly on our roadmap.

What Changed Under the Hood

Implications for the Autonomys Ecosystem

Investors gain further reassurance that the core business logic — where value moves and data lives — resists the most sophisticated exploits known today.
Builders on Auto EVM and future domains can ship with confidence.
Farmers, agents, and end-users benefit from improved network reliability and security hardening validated through independent assessment.

Closing Outlook

With audit barriers lifted, the network roadmap now advances to Mainnet Phase-2, which will introduce $AI3 token transferability, roll out the production domain layer, and launch Auto EVM for smart-contract deployment. Going forward, critical code will continue to be audited for vulnerabilities, and a public bug-bounty program will launch alongside token transferability.
