November has been a monumental month for Autonomys, as we achieved our most significant milestone to date: the launch of Mainnet Phase-1. This achievement was facilitated by the community surpassing the Space Race target with 400+ PB of storage pledged to the network by 2,200+ nodes across over 50 countries in just four weeks. Rewards were activated at block #213,696, marking a pivotal moment in our journey, and demonstrating the strength of our community and technology.
Our ecosystem continues to expand with new partnerships formed with Glacier Network and several others (to be announced throughout December). In addition, Astral has reached mainnet readiness, Devcon 7 yielded over 10,000+ registered contacts, and our Foundation Layer for AI3.0 Whitepaper and Litepaper have been released, alongside our preliminary token economics paper and a V1.1 Website update.
As we shift our focus to Mainnet Phase-2, we remain committed to scaling our decentralized AI3.0 infrastructure and providing innovative solutions for developers, farmers, and ecosystem partners.
Phase-1 deployment has been successful with smooth network operations and active farmer participation. The successful launch and reward activation demonstrate the stability and readiness of our core consensus chain, setting the foundation for our next development phase.
Protocol focus is now shifting to Mainnet Phase-2 requirements:
In the meantime, we are optimizing the data access, networking and farming experiences for smooth developer and user onboarding.
As we continue to build and enhance our product suite following our successful mainnet launch, we’ve made significant progress across multiple initiatives.
