# Secure & Efficient Autonomi is designed to make use of under-utilized and otherwise squandered resources of everyday connected devices; creating a common data storage resource that can be put to work serving individuals and communities regardless of location. Thanks to the protocol’s design, all files uploaded to the Network are automatically de-duplicated, yet still benefit from the security and performance benefits of redundant replication since a number of copies of each data chunk are always maintained. Security for everyone's vital data, *and* the best use of precious resources. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
