Build Super dApps with Autonomys’ Auto SDK
Announcing the Auto Horizon Developer Challenge - your opportunity to explore Autonomys’ Auto SDK. Are you ready to showcase your creativity and development skills? Build an AI-powered decentralized application (super dApp) or agent proof-of-concept (PoC) using the Auto SDK and earn USDC.
The Challenge
Build a super dApp or agent PoC using this early version of the Auto SDK—which powers development on the Autonomys Network—and earn USDC rewards. Whether it’s a new market intelligence oracle, a novel sentiment analysis tool, a unique prediction agent, a unique Discord bot, or even a custom digital assistant, we can’t wait to see what you create!
About Auto SDK

- Auto Drive: A decentralized content-addressed storage (CAS) solution for secure data management
- Auto Consensus: A suite of functions for interacting with the Autonomys Network’s PoAS consensus layer
- Auto DAG Data: Resources for preparing and organizing data for on-chain storage.
- Auto Utils: Essential utilities to streamline your interaction with the Autonomys Network.
- $AI3 Payment Handling: (Coming Soon): Native support for the $AI3 token—consensus and cross-domain transferability will be enabled at Mainnet Phase-2
