  1. Introduction
  2. What is Autonomi?

Built From Everyday Devices

Autonomi is assembled from a multitude of connected devices, of all shapes and sizes. It's deliberately designed to allow even the smallest computers to be able to contribute, rather than just relying on enterprise data centres. It runs on commodity hardware.

Not only does this make the most of humanity's spare resources—which is better for the planet—but it means it’s inherently more decentralized and secure, thanks to the millions of devices able to participate.

And it's a breeze to get involved.

Thanks to the nature of its design, with all data broken into chunks, encrypted, and randomly distributed, it means there's no red tape, no complicated setup, no paperwork, and no prohibitive capital requirements.

Just allocate your spare storage space and be rewarded directly by the Network.
