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 […]
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 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 […]
