It was never just about storage.
It's about keeping control of our digital lives - with agents that enable us as individuals, not ones that turn us into products to be billed and 'managed'.
Two platforms. One ecosystem. Zero gatekeepers.

Every major tech company is racing to build more data centres. Billions of dollars. Millions of square feet. Enough electricity to power small countries.
Meanwhile, there are billions of computers already in people's homes.

A library that can't be deleted, on a network owned by everyone - exactly what the Autonomi archive was built for 🤝
Jun 10
Anything you read online can be deleted - by a company, a government, or whoever owns the server. And increasingly, it is. @davidirvine has spent 20 years building the opposite, @WithAutonomi a network controlled by no one, owned by everyone👇

Cloudflare was right: egress fees are rent on your own data, built to lock you in. But R2 is still renting - a company, on their terms. Autonomi is landlord-free: pay once, access forever. No renting. Your data is yours, always.

Stop Paying to Access Your Own Data: Building with Cloudflare R2
Legacy cloud storage models are built on a "locked-in" design—low costs to get in, but massive egress fees to get out. As applications move to the edge, these financial and regional constraints become major bottlenecks for engineering teams.
Cloudflare R2 offers a modern, zero-egress approach to object storage. Join our hands-on workshop on March 17, 4 PM SGT, to learn how to execute seamless, production-ready migrations from S3 using Sippy, Super Slurper and rclone.

Good to see more networks taking this seriously. The line worth drawing is preparing vs shipped - @WithAutonomi runs post-quantum throughout right now, ML-DSA-65 and ML-KEM-768, no classical fallback. Not a transition plan. The whole network, live.

This is the signal that matters - agents are transacting natively because they can't do it any other way. Payment rails are step one. Where agents discover capabilities, and where they store what they produce, is the layer we've been building.

🔥AI AGENTS ARE STARTING TO MOVE REAL MONEY ONCHAIN
Agentic payment activity on Base has topped 100 million transactions, per Chainalysis.
Transfers above $1 now make up 95% of x402 transaction value, up from 49% in early 2025.
That suggests x402 is moving beyond micropayments into higher-value agent payments.

Autonomi connects computers directly to each other. No configuration. No dedicated hardware. No data centre required. No companies in control.
Your data is encrypted before it leaves your device - split into pieces, and scattered across the network.

No account. No subscription. No one decides what you can store or when it expires.
Autonomi Desktop v0.7.1 is live - try it yourself.

This is why @WithAutonomi was built. Not to replace the Wayback Machine but to make sure nothing like it can ever be threatened again. No media giant, government or court order can touch it. It went live yesterday and their Indelible app will make permanent archiving for anyone.

If not for the Wayback Machine, I would not be able to find the articles I wrote between 2007 and 2017, because the publications either actively or passively killed their archives.
As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages. wired.com/story/the-internet…

HBO's Silicon Valley was about a decentralized internet built from ordinary computers.
The show's writing team brought in the people behind a real project that inspired it. Mike Judge called him "the crazy MaidSafe guy."
Tomorrow, that project launches. Maybe not so crazy after all ...

Autonomi: post-quantum encrypted permanent storage, running on home computers. No data centres. No configuration. No single point of failure.
Twenty years of research. One network. It's real.
@davidirvine - not crazy, relentless.

We tested this across 4 continents this week. A single HTML file - channels, groups, project management, file sharing - all running peer to peer, no server, no DNS, no app store. One prompt to create it. Agents will build apps like this faster than any review process can keep up with. The old distribution model isn’t slow - it’s extinct.

Right now, a handful of companies decide what gets published, who gets access, and what gets taken down. You rent space on their platforms under their rules.
What if that shifted? What if you ran the agents, the agents ran on your hardware, and nobody sat in the middle deciding what's allowed? 🔽

Today, every app needs DNS, an app store, code signing, hosting, human approval. That system was built for a small group shipping software once a quarter. It breaks completely when millions of agents, representing ahuge number of humans, need to publish, discover, and use tools autonomously, around the clock. 🔽

We're building the alternative. Apps as single files, distributed through a decentralised gossip network. No DNS. No app store. No human in the loop. Globally available, home to home, post-quantum secured.
A different internet. And this time, you own it. ⏹️
