December 2024 | End of Month Report

We closed out 2024 on a strong note, solidifying our Mainnet Phase-1 launch and setting the stage for what we believe will be a transformative 2025. From protocol stability to newly formed partnerships and user growth, we’ve continued to validate both the network’s technical foundations and our long-term roadmap.

• Phase-1 Launch Recap:
  Our core consensus chain remains robust, with farmers actively participating and earning rewards. Space pledged continues to increase, highlighting the ongoing strength and viability of our platform. We regularly release incremental upgrades to Space Acres, our farming client, with optimizations and UX improvements.
• Preparing for Phase-2:
  The Auto EVM (formerly Nova) domain is under testing on the Taurus testnet. We are focusing on cross-domain messaging and performance tweaks, aiming for a smooth transition to Phase-2 in Q1 2025.
• Scalability and XDM design:
  We continue enhancing security and performance for our scalability and XDM design. For example, while most blockchain projects are limited to supporting only 8 to 20 shards, our design is able to support 100+ shards and achieve near-optimal performance based on our in-depth analysis.

• 0xArgu-mint:
  Most AI agents purporting to be crypto-native have little more than a meme coin. We launched the first ever “on-chain” AI Agent ‘Argu-mint’ — an interactive agent with a permanent memory stored on the Autonomys Network. The value accrues to the L1 token, AI3, as opposed to a speculative and useless ghost-token. This proof-of-concept demonstrates Autonomys’ positioning as the foundational layer for agents in AI3.0.

• APAC & Global Expansion:

“We end 2024 with real traction behind our Mainnet Phase-1 launch and look ahead to Phase-2 and beyond with a sense of purpose. The network’s durability and the community’s enthusiasm have given us a solid foundation for growing our AI3.0 vision. Our focus will now shift to Mainnet Phase-2 and continuing to grow our ecosystem. Your continued trust and support make these achievements possible.”
