Autonomi, based in Ayr, Scotland, operates in the computer and network security space. It runs a permanent, decentralized data network built from home computers, with no data centers, no cloud contracts, and no single point of failure, and requires no configuration. The network encrypts data at rest and in transit using standards-based post-quantum cryptography and distributes it across a global set of ordinary devices to endure for the network's lifetime. The Autonomi ecosystem includes permanent storage, an agent infrastructure, AI tools, and a cryptographic provenance layer designed to address data integrity in an era of synthetic content. The Autonomi Foundation, a Swiss not-for-profit, maintains the network, with ongoing development contributed by MaidSafe and Saorsa Labs; the ANT token supports permissionless data storage and machine-to-machine payments. The project traces its roots to MaidSafe, founded in 2006 by David Irvine in Ayr, reinforcing its long-standing focus on decentralized infrastructure.
