October has been a transformative month for Autonomys, marked by significant milestones that bring us closer to our vision of a decentralized, AI-powered future. We successfully launched the Taurus Testnet on October 23rd, surpassing our 1.5 TiB Space Race target within hours — a testament to the robustness of our network and the dedication of our community. Our Mainnet Phase-1 is on track for a November 6th launch, enabling farmers to bootstrap storage, produce blocks, and secure Autonomys’ consensus chain.
Product development continues across the Auto Suite, including the Astral Block Explorer with enhanced features, the upcoming Auto Drive proof of concept targeting mid-November, and ongoing advancements with the Auto SDK. We are forging strong partnerships, engaging with over 80 potential collaborators, and have established new strategic alliances with Swan Chain, Masa, and Compute Labs. Our marketing efforts have expanded with the launch of Website V1.0, multiple PR campaigns, and a significant upcoming presence at Devcon 7. Our comprehensive whitepaper is now complete and will be released alongside our Mainnet Phase-1 launch, offering detailed insights into our technology and vision.
As we advance towards these pivotal milestones, we are both confident and excited about the path ahead. Thank you for your continued support and commitment. Together, we are shaping the future of AI and decentralization.
The Protocol team is actively testing mainnet release candidates, ensuring that all launch stages: history seeding, plotting, farming, the Space Race and block production function smoothly.
As we continue to build and enhance our product suite, we’ve made notable progress across multiple initiatives.
During October we focused on launching several key products, which has set the stage for an increased and enhanced social presence, highlighting the core competencies of branding, key messaging, partnership onboarding, and PR.
October has been a transformative month for Autonomys’ ecosystem expansion, marked by significant strategic partnerships.

Our commitment to building a strong, diverse team continues as we scale our operations and move toward our mainnet Phase-1 milestone and beyond.
The Autonomys Network AI3.0 stack, Auto Suite, and our philosophy of radical autonomy have been thoroughly documented in our newly completed whitepaper. This comprehensive document, building on our previous technical papers, represents a significant milestone in our development journey. While the whitepaper is now complete, we’ve strategically aligned its public release with our upcoming Mainnet Phase-1 launch to maximize its impact. It offers an in-depth look at the evolution of our protocol and its decentralized, permissionless approach to shaping the future of AI.
I’m deeply grateful and honored by the trust placed in me as we guide Autonomys toward an exciting future. We truly appreciate your continued support as we move toward the imminent launch of our Phase-1 mainnet.
I’m extremely thankful for the dedication and resilience of our amazingly talented team, whose hard work is making our vision a reality.
Together, we are building something we know will be transformative and help to shape the decentralized AI landscape. Your commitment and belief in our mission empower us to continue pushing boundaries and achieving these new milestones.
We look forward to sharing the incredible progress we make as we approach the next chapter of the Autonomys Network.
With deep appreciation and excitement for the future,
