Key Aspects of the Partnership

Multimodal Training Datasets: AI builders are currently able to utilize Autonomys’ distributed storage network (DSN) for text datasets (with audio and video data on the way). They will soon also be able to access Masa data for optimizing AI agents, fine-tuning LLMs, and powering dApps, via API and a variety of developer toolkits.
Advanced Agents: Developers building AI agents on Nova, our EVM platform optimized for AI data storage and execution, will soon be able to use the Masa protocol to access powerful data streams that will transform the efficiency, accuracy and utility of their agents.
Auto Agents: Autonomys will be leveraging Masa’s real-time data-streams to power our own game-changing agents and applications.

Community Benefits

Integrating with Masa will enable AI developers and builders to access a huge array of multimodal, real-time and static, structured, annotated, and vectorized data from across the web. Masa data is sourced from X, Discord, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, public and gated web pages, and more, providing a rich dataset for AI training, and ensuring a constant flow of high-quality data.

“Autonomys agents, meet Masa data. On-chain agents are the future of AI-empowered user engagement. We are excited to bring Masa’s real-time, high-quality data to power on-chain agents and apps in the Autonomys ecosystem. AI developers can build the next-generation of AI agents and applications, accessible to anyone, anywhere, with Masa data.” Calanthia Mei, Co-Founder of Masa

“With this partnership, we’re breaking down barriers to AI innovation, enabling developers to optimize agents with precision, using permissionless, high-quality data from across the web. By aligning our technical strengths, we’re building the foundation for the AI3.0 ecosystem — where decentralized storage and data resources fuel globally accessible, cutting-edge AI applications. This is more than a partnership; it’s the future of democratized AI.” Parth Birla, Head of Partnerships at Autonomys

About Masa

Masa is a permissionless, privacy-centric decentralized AI data network and marketplace allowing AI developers to build AI models, apps and agents using high-quality, real-time data. Masa’s global network of 50,000+ node operators are incentivized to scrape, structure and contribute data for AI training, and provide compute for open-source AI requests, and are compensated by developers when they access their data and services.

Autonomys x Swan Chain: Integrating DePIN for Seamless, Affordable deAI

Autonomys is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Swan Chain. Based on our shared commitment to making decentralized AI (deAI) development seamless and affordable, both projects are exploring the integration of our storage and compute decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) for the benefit of the whole AI3.0 ecosystem.

Key Aspects of the Partnership

Permanent Distributed Storage: By integrating Autonomys’ distributed storage network (DSN) with its storage marketplace, Swan Chain will be able to offer secure, permanent data storage services and super-fast data availability to deAI developers.
Decentralized AI Compute: Developers in the AI3.0 ecosystem would greatly benefit from Swan Chain’s marketplaces for cost-effective, decentralized AI and ZK compute.
AI Model Containers: The ability to efficiently deploy Swan Chain’s AI model containers on the Autonomys Network would undoubtedly be useful to AI3.0 users and developers alike.

“We are thrilled to partner with Autonomys to revolutionize decentralized AI. Swan Chain and Autonomys are committed to empowering developers with seamless access to innovative AI capabilities.” Merlin Cao, Marketing Manager at Swan Chain

“AI3.0 developers and users will soon experience the value of Autonomys’ integration with Swan Chain’s pioneering AI DePIN via our enhanced respective offerings.” Parth Birla, Head of Partnerships at Autonomys

Autonomys: Lowering the Barriers to True Web3 Decentralization

True decentralization in web3 means the widespread participation of the collective, not the interpersonal coordination of the few. Neglecting the importance of accessibility risks a project’s vision of decentralization becoming just another centralized model under a different name. Our mission is simple: break down the technical, educational and hardware barriers that prevent widespread contribution to the Autonomys Network. In doing so, we aim to address key structural challenges within the web3 space, in addition to our elimination of the blockchain trilemma and farmer’s and verifier’s dilemmas.

Easy Node Running

Embodying this philosophy, Space Acres, our flagship node solution, runs on almost any computer and operating system as a lightweight, secure desktop application. No need for specialized hardware or deep technical expertise — Space Acres makes meaningful participation possible for a broad audience, regardless of their resources.

Simple UX

Accessibility isn’t just about hardware. The technical friction of engaging with a decentralized network can be overwhelming, so we’ve streamlined the Space Acres setup process. With regularly updated video tutorials guiding users through installation on macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu, we aim to remove these barriers, creating a more seamless entry point for everyone.

Space Acres Quick Start Guide

Part 1: SubWallet Setup

Part 2: Installation and Setup

Global, Multilingual Community

In a truly decentralized ecosystem, language should never be a barrier. To support our global community, the Space Acres UI is available in seven languages — English, German, Spanish, French, Serbian, Russian, and Simplified Chinese — with many more on the way. We’ve also integrated a Discord Translator Bot to ensure our community can communicate effectively, regardless of linguistic background.

Diverse, Distributed Team

Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected in our diverse team, which spans every continent (excluding Antarctica 😿), and speaks more than 16 languages, including Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Hindi, Bengali, and Japanese. This diversity is essential to our mission, as it enables us to understand and connect with contributors from around the world, helping us build a network that truly represents the global web3 ethos. We are in the process of exploring how best to make the Autonomys website multi-language-compatible.

Autonomys Academy Resources

Education is a cornerstone of participation. Through the Autonomys Academy, we provide easily accessible resources to guide and empower users, regardless of their familiarity with web3. With regularly updated content and AI-driven search functions, the Academy is designed to lower educational barriers, ensuring that anyone can deepen their understanding and engage more fully with the network.

Why Does Web3 Decentralization Matter?

In the broader web3 landscape, decentralization is often a buzzword. Many ecosystems claim to be “community-driven”, yet fail to live up to that promise, drifting toward centralization if they weren’t already there.

At Autonomys, we’re committed to a different path — one that prioritizes genuine community-driven decentralization. Lowering participation barriers isn’t just about technical improvements; it’s about upholding the philosophical ideals at the heart of web3.

As we move into Mainnet Phase-1, and work towards further milestones, we are reminded of the progress we’ve made and the distance yet to travel. Each new participant helps bring us closer to a decentralized future, where autonomy, security, and decentralization coexist without compromise, and where innovation has an optimized environment to thrive.

Explore the Autonomys Network

Whether you’re interested in joining us as a community member who shares our vision for decentralization; a node operator looking to contribute to a network; a developer wanting to build on hyper-scalable deAI infrastructure, or a partner seeking to integrate with the AI3.0 ecosystem, we welcome you to get involved. Autonomys is actively expanding, and we’re eager to collaborate with individuals and organizations across decentralized storage, data solutions, interoperability, privacy technologies, and AI-driven platforms.
