  1. How It Works
  2. Fully Autonomous Data Network

Clients

Just as you don’t need to run a web server to use the Web, so you don’t have to run a node to access the Autonomi Network. Ordinary users interact with the Network via the client.

Clients includes things like browsers, apps, wallets, and file systems—any software that interacts with the Network to perform operations such as data retrieval, storage, or management. Browsing, and accessing data on Autonomi is end-to-end encrypted. Data is only reconstructed into readable information on the client device, greatly enhancing security and building in privacy by design. It's worth noting that you don't need an 'account' to access data on Autonomi, nor do you need to pay to access data downloading is always free. You only pay when you store or edit data—and there are no recurring fees either, data uploaded is stored for the lifetime of the Network: Perpetual Data.
