“Since our initial investment in Autonomys back in 2018, it’s remarkable how the project has remained at the forefront of blockchain innovation, despite the tumultuous changes in the industry. We believed—and continue to believe—in the Autonomys Network as a potent solution to the myriad challenges plaguing the blockchain sector.

@VitalikButerin’s vision of a world computer, encompassing computation, storage, and communication, remains a cornerstone of blockchain technology. However, the landscape is riddled with fragmented solutions—Layer 2 protocols, data availability projects and frequent security breaches in bridge protocols. Autonomys presents a golden opportunity to address the pressing issues of data availability, permanent storage, secure consensus, and scalable AI-capable compute.

The Autonomys Network’s tokenomics and incentive design strike at the heart of blockchain’s core values, moving away from the capital-centric and potentially censorious nature of PoS systems. PoAS offers a sustainable, decentralized solution, ensuring data availability and ample block space for storage. By separating consensus from computation, and dividing transaction execution into modular domains managed by operators with pledged resources, Autonomys’ domain architecture and cross-domain messaging protocol guarantee seamless communication across an efficient, interoperable and decentralized network.

In summary, Autonomys’ approach not only addresses current limitations, but also paves the way for a more robust and scalable blockchain infrastructure of the future. In this way, our investment in Autonomys Network was not just a bet on technology, but a belief in a vision that addresses the core challenges of the blockchain industry.”
