September 2025 | Community Report

Share to Socials

September marked the first full month following the AI3 token listings and Phase-2 activation, as Autonomys transitioned from launch execution to assessing the quantum challenge and positioning for long-term security. With the network’s core layers of consensus, execution, and liquidity now live, Autonomys has achieved a level of technical readiness many blockchains never attain. This milestone validates the stability and maturity of the network and sets the stage for the next strategic focus, preparing for a world where advances in AI accelerate quantum breakthroughs, and create a non-zero risk to classical cryptography. We remain committed to the long term, refining what we’ve built, and strengthening the foundation for durable security in an evolving computational landscape.

The Subspace Foundation continued strengthening the AI3 token ecosystem by advancing opportunities for liquidity and accessibility. Following the successful exchange listings, liquidity across centralized markets remained strong. The Hyperlane bridge has been deployed on Auto EVM, enabling users to wrap and bridge AI3 to Ethereum. This paved the way for the listing of a wrapped wAI3/USDT pair on Uniswap. The Guardians of Growth boosted-staking initiative continued to attract participation, reinforcing network security and broadening token distribution. ~28MM AI3 have been staked thus far, representing ~25% of available supply. Together, these efforts sustain long-term ecosystem health and further solidify the foundation for Autonomys’ growth.

Engineering focused on network stability and infrastructure refinements, while Research advanced its post-quantum threat assessment. In addition to the Hyperlane bridge, we launched the new Chronos testnet, and deprecated its predecessor — Taurus. SAFE was also deployed on Auto EVM, expanding secure wallet options for multisig custody of digital assets. Concurrently, both teams continued the ongoing evaluation of NIST-approved standards and threat modeling intended to keep Autonomys aligned with emerging best practices in the post-quantum landscape.

The Ecosystem team continues to complete strategic integrations with projects that can leverage Auto Drive’s permanent, verifiable, on-chain data storage to strengthen transparency and integrity across decentralized networks. Simultaneously, Autonomys has begun mapping potential collaborations with projects and chains pursuing post-quantum resilience, prioritizing credible standards and long-term alignment.

Autonomys is pleased to announce its integration with Gaia, an open-source, decentralized AI network providing infrastructure, compute, and inference tooling for autonomous AI agents. Developers running Gaia nodes can now store full conversation histories on-chain through Auto Drive, while agents built with the Autonomys Auto Agents Framework can call Gaia’s LLM for inference, enabling autonomous applications that both reason with decentralized intelligence and retain verifiable memory.

Marketing and community activities throughout September focused on maintaining engagement and supporting awareness around Phase-2 developments. The monthly Docs Contest continued to highlight technical contributors improving developer onboarding, while the Spark & Seed activation concluded with strong participation and retention among early farmers. The Node Atlas initiative encouraged exploration of the global farming map, showcasing network growth and distribution. With the availability of the new Chronos testnet, testing will begin for Game of Domains — Stage 1, necessary for the instantiation of permissionless operators. Together, these efforts sustain community engagement as Autonomys transitions its focus toward addressing the quantum threat, and preparing for the next era of blockchain security.

Autonomys has reached a pivotal moment, one defined by technical maturity and strategic clarity. Over the past year, we achieved every milestone we set out to accomplish: launching the consensus chain, enabling token transfers, deploying Domains, and bringing the network to life through our global community. Each success has strengthened our foundation and prepared us for what comes next as we advance toward quantum resilience.

Just as we built an AI-ready network before it became fashionable to do so, we are once again preparing early for a technology that will reshape the way we think about computing, and more broadly, cryptography as a whole. AI is accelerating quantum computing breakthroughs faster than most anticipated, and the cryptographic foundations protecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and virtually every major blockchain face a non-zero risk of being compromised.

Autonomys spent the past 4 years building its novel and sophisticated consensus from scratch. That same engineering acumen now positions us to implement post-quantum cryptography while others are still assessing the problem. This is about preparation, not panic, and readiness today will dictate which networks survive in an uncertain future. This is the work that will separate networks built for the long term from those built for the moment. We’re positioning Autonomys not just to survive the quantum transition, but to lead through it.
