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.

Autonomys x The Graph: Fast, Reliable Data Indexing for AI Agents & dApps

Autonomys is excited to announce our integration with The Graph, web3’s leading decentralized data protocol for subgraph indexing. By providing support for Auto EVM, The Graph enables developers building on Autonomys to efficiently and reliably access blockchain data — crucial for powering intelligent agents, responsive frontends, and data-driven AI applications.

Key Aspects of the Integration

On-Chain Data Access for AI Agents: Builders deploying Auto Agents and super dApps on Autonomys can now query historical and real-time blockchain data efficiently using subgraphs built on The Graph’s Subgraph Studio. This capability is essential for intelligent agents and frontend applications that require responsive, data-rich environments.
Auto EVM Integration: The Graph’s integration of Autonomys’ Auto EVM domain chain (currently on our Taurus testnet) enables developers to define subgraphs that index data emitted from smart contracts deployed on Auto EVM, significantly accelerating the development of responsive user-facing applications. Mainnet support is under discussion post-Mainnet Phase-2 launch.
Enhanced Developer Workflow: Querying historical data directly from the blockchain can be slow and computationally expensive. Subgraphs enable Auto EVM developers to extract, transform, and serve this data through a structured interface via GraphQL, dramatically improving frontend responsiveness and backend efficiency.

Community Benefits

This integration provides a critical component of the infrastructure required for deploying super dApps and on-chain agents at scale. It reinforces Autonomys’ mission to support AI3.0 development by ensuring developers have ready access to blockchain data via The Graph’s industry-leading subgraph framework — accelerating the creation of intelligent, performant, decentralized applications.

“With a mission to empower developers building the next generation of AI-powered dApps and intelligent, autonomous, data-driven agents, The Graph ecosystem is excited to provide support for Autonomys.” Nick Hansen, Team Lead at The Graph Foundation

“Subgraphs are a foundational tool for developers building responsive frontends and AI-driven applications and agents that rely on on-chain data. With The Graph integrated on Auto EVM, builders on Autonomys can access that data through a familiar and efficient framework — supporting our mission to make AI3.0 development more open, accessible, and human-centric.” Jim Counter, Head of Ecosystem at Autonomys

‍

About The Graph

The Graph is the source of data and information for the decentralized internet. As the original decentralized data marketplace that introduced and standardized subgraphs, The Graph is now the web3 industry-standard protocol for indexing and accessing blockchain data.
