Update 5th February
The network has gradually stabilised over the past few weeks, with network load still elevated but not unexpected from such a large change in scale. This is generally caused by replication traffic being moved around by fewer nodes, so individual nodes are seeing more usage compared to previous.

-
Update 22 Jan
Over the last week, the network has experienced significant contraction and churn after the secession of emission payments. This was expected, with nodes running large scale farming operations and modified code suddenly being pulled from the network. Due to the sudden drop, the replication processes in nodes are triggering, causing a spike in network traffic.

Update 18 December
for the final dev blog of the year we revisit our goals and provide a brief run down on what we’ve achieved. There are still two releases coming ahead of Christmas- and there's a refreshed Autonomi website - autonomi.com.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/weekly-developer-update-december-18-2025/42687
-
Update 11 Dec
We are now on the final stretch of the end of year missions. There are three important aspects that are worth mentioning:- New node release. Node operators must update by 16 Dec.
- A Merkle element is included in the new release for 95% reduced fees.
- Next week will be the final dev blog and company update of the year.

Update 4 Dec
Alongside the continuing dialogue concerning emissions, there have been some questions raised concerning the automatic node upgrade work stream that’s currently underway. As we hope you already appreciate, the team are aiming to get to a stage, as soon as is feasible, where MaidSafe is no longer having to do upgrades (automatic or otherwise).

Update 30 October
Work is continuing rapidly on several fronts, first and foremost investigating the cause of download failures reported by the community.
We've successfully implemented paymaster for uploads in Dave (GUI front end).
Plus, we’re making good progress with the Merkle tree transaction verification (a.k.a. gas fees minimisation) integration.
And there's a new video from Jim

Update
This week we’ve been finalising plans to polish several network features to make them business-ready, including allowing people to hold ANT through paymasters without needing separate ETH for gas, and enabling devs to code their apps in such a way that the upload fees can be funded for the user — so plenty of flexibility for different business models. We’re including paymasters within Dave, to prove the solution out.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-23rd-october-2025/42526
-
Update 09 October
Lots going on behind the scenes, with the team laser-focused on reducing gas fees for uploads as far as we possibly can. We’re pursuing some promising ideas and have started coding them up, but obviously they will need thorough testing before they’re ready to go live.

Update 11 September
This week we’ve continued our focus on producing something fun for you all to play with, both cos you’re ace and also to raise the profile of the project as the Impossible Futures competition reaches its conclusion.
Our streaming video proof-of-concept is nearing completion, with plans to release a client update including streaming and several CLI improvements shortly.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-11th-september-2025/42379
-
Update 4 September
We've pushed the latest release of Autonomi yesterday featuring significant enhancements to upload and download functionality and more.
There's also a vdiseo interview with developer Traktion who chats about the immutable blog platform IMIM and AntTP, the bridge that lets any developer build on Autonomi using tools they already know.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-4th-september-2025/42338
-
Update 28 Aug
It’s all action in the ant hill and we should have new releases of the client and Dave (GUI front end) ready next week. The former will allow for streaming uploads and partial streaming of downloads.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-28th-august-2025/42317

After months of building, our Impossible Futures finalists are putting the final touches to their apps on the Autonomi Network, ready for judges to start exploring every feature and diving deep into what makes these projects special.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-21st-august-2025/42296
-
Update 14 August
The team has done a lot more work on streaming self-encryption to handle very large files with great results so far.
We’re currently doing a deep dive into network data types and client constructed data types and looking to see what we can unify and simplify to improve the developer experience.
Network testing is ongoing with the recent work to ensure that all nodes are behaving.
-
Update 7 August
Testing and monitoring continues apace and the good news is the network seems more stable. Uploads and downloads are working, and we can’t find any data loss. App developers are reporting a better experience overall although there are still some questions around scratchpads and pointers that we’re looking into.

Update 10 July
We continue working on the next release, scheduled for next week, which will be ready for the Impossible Futures building phase. The upcoming version of Autonomi will integrate the latest libp2p, introduce a simplified FIFO cache, eliminate a ‘log bomb’, and remove the external address manager.
https://forum.autonomi.community/t/update-10th-july-2025/42016
-
Update 3 June
The next Autonomi update, planned for 2 weeks, should include an updated version of rust-libp2p which addresses some of the changes around reachability that we’ve been asking for, so it’s a very welcome development. Over the next few days we’ll be testing this new version to see whether it comes closer to meeting our requirements, or if we might still need to fork some parts of the code base.

Update 26 June
After last week’s slightly downbeat update, we’re pleased to announce that things are very much back on track, with uploads and downloads now producing minimal errors as we scale-up tests.

We were hoping to have the CLN release ready for you today, but the deadline gods were against us and we still have an unacceptable number of errors with non-contactable nodes when we scale up. Sorry to disappoint. We’re preparing burnt offerings and burying ourselves in the logs now to try to improve things.

The Roadmap to Launch (and a glimpse beyond)
So here we have it folks. A path to guide us through the final turns of the journey and across what to some might feel like a finish-line, but is the start of a new future.
On top of what our expanding team is working on, you’ll have lots of opportunities to be involved directly in this roadmap—and be rewarded for getting stuck in.
