Grantee Showcase
Decentralized AI needs more than theory to reach the people who need it most. It needs builders, and builders need infrastructure designed from the ground up for AI. That's the Autonomys Network. These grantees are the teams turning that infrastructure into the super dApps, frameworks, and tools that put decentralized AI in the hands of everyday users.
Momento
As AI-generated content accelerates across every platform and medium, the ability to prove that something was created by a real person, at a specific moment in time, is quietly becoming one of the most important primitives on the internet. Today, there is no widely accessible way for an individual to capture a photo, a story, or a cultural artifact and permanently anchor its origin, integrity, and authorship in a way that no platform can alter, delete, or claim ownership over.
Momento addresses this gap directly. It turns the Autonomys Network’s permanent distributed storage network (DSN) and EVM-compatible execution into a seamless capture-and-verify experience that requires no blockchain knowledge from the end user. In doing so, it serves as one of the first consumer-facing applications to bring Autonomys infrastructure to everyday people.
What They're Building
A modular protocol with three core components:
- Momento Capture — Generates cryptographic hashes with signed metadata, anchors proofs on Auto EVM, and stores content via Auto Drive.
- Momento Link — Organizes verified records into shareable, user-owned profiles tied to decentralized identifiers.
- Momento Framework — An SDK built on Auto SDK exposing APIs for developers to build on authenticated human data.
Why the Foundation Funded This
- Drives real infrastructure usage — Every moment captured writes to Auto Drive and anchors on Auto EVM, generating consistent storage demand.
- Lowers barriers for everyday users — Web2-equivalent UX with decentralized infrastructure underneath.
- Creates a human data layer for AI3.0 — Verified records serve as provably authentic inputs for AI agents and training pipelines.
Build With Us
The Subspace Foundation Grants Program exists to support, enhance and accelerate the growth of decentralized AI (deAI) on the Autonomys Network by empowering innovative developers, researchers and entrepreneurs to create AI-powered decentralized applications (super dApps), tools and infrastructure that drive the evolution of AI3.0. If you’re building on Autonomys, we want to hear from you.
