Купить Autonomi (ANT) в Canada

Autonomi is a decentralized data and communications network that serves as a privacy-focused layer for the internet. Formerly known as the SAFE Network and developed by the Scottish company MaidSafe, the project has been in development for nearly two decades under the leadership of founder David Irvine. It transitioned to its current branding and launched its mainnet in early 2025, managed by the non-profit Autonomi Foundation based in Switzerland. The primary goal of the project is to create an autonomous, self-sustaining infrastructure that removes the need for centralized servers and intermediaries. Instead of relying on big tech data centers, Autonomi pools the spare storage and bandwidth of everyday devices—such as personal computers, laptops, and small hardware like Raspberry Pis—to form a global, peer-to-peer network. Technically, the project differentiates itself through a blockchain-less data architecture. While many Web3 projects use a blockchain for all operations, Autonomi uses a unique system of self-encryption and content-addressable storage. When a user uploads a file, it is automatically encrypted, broken into small pieces, and distributed across the global network of nodes. This ensures that only the data owner can access the original file, while the nodes storing the fragments have no knowledge of the content. The network is designed to be quantum-safe and provides permanent, lifetime storage. The native utility token of the project is called ANT. This token is central to the network’s circular economy. Users spend ANT to pay for permanent data storage and to access various services within the ecosystem. On the other side of the network, participants who contribute their device resources to the infrastructure, known as node operators, are rewarded in ANT tokens for their contributions. These rewards are distributed based on the node's performance and the amount of data it successfully stores and serves to the network. Beyond storage, Autonomi aims to be a foundation for a new generation of decentralized applications. It provides the tools for developers to build private communication platforms, secure businesses, and AI-integrated services that respect user sovereignty. By prioritizing privacy as the default setting and eliminating recurring subscription models in favor of one-time storage payments, the project seeks to redefine how people interact with digital knowledge and their own data.
