Understanding Autonomys Network: A Comprehensive Overview

  • Autonomys Network leverages a modular blockchain architecture built on the Subspace Protocol, creating the needed infrastructure for AI3.0 applications.
  • To achieve high scalability, Autonomys Network combines Decoupled Execution (DecEx), modular domains, data sharding, and a multi-layered Distributed Storage Network (DSN). The DSN also enables AI Agents to store and retrieve data directly from the blockchain.
  • The Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus mechanism called Dilithium, combined with a Proof-of-Time (PoT) mechanism, solves the “Farmer’s Dilemma” by allowing farmers to maintain consensus without storing the entire blockchain history, ensuring data availability, security, and efficient storage management.
  • Auto ID and Auto Score create a self-sovereign identity framework and a proof-of-personhood mechanism that facilitates verifiable human-AI interactions.
  • Space Acres simplifies participation in Autonomys Network by providing a user-friendly application that allows anyone to run a Farmer node on their computer to earn AI3 tokens.
  • A recurring deterministic Archiving phase is completed by all nodes. Archiving involves dividing the blockchain history into segments composed of equally sized pieces.
  • A setup phase of Plotting involves individual farmers processing and encoding their designated portions of the blockchain history for storage.
  • A probabilistic audit phase of Farmers’ storage to ensure data integrity and the opportunity for farmers to propose new blocks.
  • Farmers: Responsible for maintaining the consensus layer. By joining the DSN, Farmers agree to retrieve data that is used for syncing nodes and return data to various clients.
  • Domain Operators: Maintain the liveness of the Execution Chain and have the ability to earn rewards for their contributions.
  • Timekeepers: Contribute to network security by maintaining the Proof-of-Time (PoT) blockchain, preventing long-range attacks, and ensuring the randomness of block proposals.
  • A transaction is validated and then executed, activating a state change.
  • Once the block that holds that transaction reaches a certain depth, currently set at 100 blocks, it follows the Archiving process.
  • These newly archived pieces are added to the Farmer's caches through the DSN. This means that these pieces are encoded into farmer plots on their disks for permanent storage in accordance with the Plotting protocol.
  • Full Nodes: The default configuration - (i) forming the network's backbone, (ii) processing blocks and serving peers, and (iii) ensuring data integrity and network health.
  • Archival Nodes: Extends the functionality of full nodes by retaining the entire blockchain history, proving valuable for block exploration and historical data analysis. The Subspace Foundation maintains these as a public resource.
  • Light Clients: Designed for resource-constrained devices, interact with the network without storing the full blockchain state, relying on full nodes for data retrieval.
