As part of the Autonomys Network BIG BANG, we’re excited to announce the Space Race Plot-O-Meter, a key component in our community-driven journey toward mainnet rewards!
What’s the Goal?
Your mission is to create a dynamic, custom website that visually tracks pledged storage in real-time. Imagine a thermometer that starts at zero and fills up as more space is pledged. Once the thermometer reaches its maximum, rewards will be unlocked for everyone!
About the Space Race
Much like the historic Gemini 3h mission, our Space Race has three exciting phases:
-
Launchpad: A proof-of-time seed ceremony using a specific Bitcoin block height to inject randomness into the Proof of Time feature. This ensures the protocol is protected from long-range attacks by requiring malicious actors to expend time, not just compute or storage.
-
Lift-off Phase: During this stage, a target space pledge is set. Farmers will begin to see successfully signed reward hash log messages, but block or vote rewards won’t be activated until we reach our goal.
-
Escape Velocity: Once the community reaches the target pledged space, rewards are unlocked! This moment depends entirely on the community’s collective effort—it could happen at any moment!
How to Participate
-
Get Creative: Start from scratch or use our demo repository as a foundation. We’ve created a demo repo with a basic plot-o-meter built by the team. Check out the code here to get started!
-
Design and Develop: Modify the styling, add your own creative CSS flair, and make your submission stand out. We’re looking for innovative designs that excite and engage the community.
-
Submit Your Website: Share your project link in the #developer-chat channel on Discord with the hashtag #Space-Race-Plot-O-Meter.
Bonus Side Quest
Think you can predict the future? 
Guess the duration of the Space Race and submit your prediction for the end date (in UTC format) in the #developer-chat channel on Discord with the hashtag #Space-Race-Duration-Prediction. The most accurate predictor will receive Limited Edition Autonomys Legacy Merch!

The Autonomys team will review all submissions and announce the winner no later than two weeks after the end of the Space Race. The announcement will be made in this forum post and via an additional Discord announcement. Prizes are as follows:

Tips
- For a head start, check out this example Plot-O-Meter project and dive into our Auto SDK documentation.
- Since the RPC for the mainnet is not yet available, feel free to practice on the Gemini 3h public RPC - wss://rpc-0.gemini-3h.subspace.network/ws.
- The Space Race target will be announced soon; for now, use the configuration value!
Good luck, and we can’t wait to see your amazing creations!
