January focused on stabilizing network operations, completing outstanding end-of-year initiatives, and establishing a defined growth cadence for 2026. Highlights this month included launching ambassador benefit rollout, progressing numerous grant applications through defined review stages, and supporting Auto Drive adoption with both current and new partners. This report outlines material progress during the past month and the momentum heading into February.
January centered on closing commitments made in late 2025 and establishing a stable operational baseline for the year ahead. Cost-containment initiatives were completed, bringing operating expenses to a sustainable level and enabling continued focus on protocol development and Auto Drive adoption.
Investor and compliance support remained a priority. Year-end 2025 audit documentation was completed, and stakeholder materials were prepared to support financial reporting requirements. In parallel, coordination continued around infrastructure and process planning for the July 2026 stakeholder token claims distribution.
Ecosystem strategy remains intentionally selective, prioritizing integrations where permanent, verifiable data is foundational to the product rather than exploratory. The operating approach emphasizes reliability, execution quality, and long-term adoption.
Together, these updates strengthen network reliability, improve operational transparency, and support continued Domain development and Auto Drive usage.
The Subspace Foundation completed the end-to-end rollout of ambassador benefits. This includes KYC via Persona, executed agreements through DocuSign, and a dedicated beneficiary application with supporting documentation and portal access.
The Subspace Foundation launched vesting and unlocks through Hedgey, with Auto EVM support added and ambassador vesting contracts deployed. Eligible ambassadors can independently claim and manage their allocations through the beneficiary portal.

Participation in this program remains open to all token holders.
The Subspace Foundation’s Grants Program continues to gain traction, with a steady flow of new applications entering the pipeline each week. During January, applications progressed through defined evaluation stages:
The “not advanced this round” category maintains clarity on current decisions while preserving optionality for future consideration.
Builders working on permanent storage, agent infrastructure, or data availability are encouraged to apply.
Auto Drive, Autonomys’ gateway to permanent on-chain storage on the DSN, continues to support production and near-production use cases across the ecosystem.
Partners already live or actively deepening their Auto Drive integration include:
Several partners are actively exploring deepening integration pathways, while additional projects are currently onboarding. Further ecosystem additions are expected to be announced throughout February. In parallel, a new builders program developed in collaboration with a major Web3 weather data network is scheduled to launch early in February.
Ambassador Benefits (Subspace Foundation)
In February, the focus is on continuing to ramp Auto Drive usage, announcing the first wave of grant recipients, increasing farmer participation as storage demand grows, supporting ambassadors through the claiming process, and launching a new builders program. We’re heading into a busy and exciting February. Stay tuned for additional updates and announcements!
