Autonomys

Autonomys is a decentralized infrastructure network providing permanent, verifiable, content-addressed data storage and AI-ready blockchain services, secured by a Proof-of-Archival-Storage consensus. Its developer surface centers on Auto Drive — permanent storage exposed through a REST API where objects are addressed by IPFS-style CIDs — and the Auto SDK, a TypeScript toolkit (@autonomys/* npm packages) for consensus, storage, cross-domain messaging, and DAG data. The broader stack adds Auto EVM (an Ethereum- compatible execution domain), Auto Agents (a framework for autonomous on-chain AI agents), and Auto ID (self-sovereign identity). Storage is paid in native AI3 via an on-chain Intents flow. Autonomys was surfaced as a portfolio company of Pantera Capital and has now been enriched from its public developer surface.

Autonomys publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Auto Drive API API and Auto Drive Download Gateway API. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Blockchain, Web3, and Decentralized Storage.

Autonomys’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 19 more developer resources.
