:IF: AutonomiNet

Hello friends,

I am pleased to present you with a few apps we worked on with @saykor ! You can vote for this app here: AutonomiNet :dragon:

AutonomiNet

A C# library that empowers .NET developers to build truly decentralized applications on the Autonomi infrastructure — with zero central servers, full privacy, and unstoppable data storage.

The goal? Making decentralized development accessible to the .NET ecosystem with a seamless, native API for Autonomi.

Today’s internet is broken. Developers rely on centralized services, exposing users to outages, surveillance, and data loss. Meanwhile, the .NET ecosystem — powering millions of enterprise and desktop applications — has no easy way to tap into the decentralized web.

AutonomiNet changes that.

It bridges .NET with the Autonomi (SafeNetwork) decentralized storage and communication layer. Developers can now create C# applications that:

  • Upload and retrieve files with no middlemen
  • Store data permanently on a global peer-to-peer network
  • Build secure apps with user-owned data
  • Eliminate dependency on cloud providers

:light_bulb: According to StackOverflow, over 25% of professional developers use .NET or C#. Yet until now, they’ve been excluded from the decentralized revolution. AutonomiNet opens the doors.

:chart_increasing: Vision & Scalability

AutonomiNet is not just another wrapper — it’s a gateway. By empowering one of the largest developer ecosystems in the world to go decentralized, it can bring mass adoption to the Autonomi network. It’s unique, because it’s the only fully native C# integration for this kind of decentralized infrastructure. It’s designed to scale alongside Autonomi itself — from hobby projects to enterprise solutions.

Features

  • :electric_plug: Seamless Integration – Built as a native .NET library, with support for MAUI, Blazor, WPF, and more
  • :brain: Smart API Layer – Easy-to-use abstractions for common decentralized tasks: file storage, data versioning, and secure sharing
  • :locked: Private & Public Data Support – Fully encrypted user data, with optional public access when needed
  • :high_voltage: Async-first Design – Built on modern C# async/await patterns
  • :puzzle_piece: Modular – Developers choose what to include: files, messaging, metadata, etc.
  • :globe_showing_europe_africa: Cross-Platform – Windows, Linux, Android supported
  • :hammer_and_wrench: Developer Tooling – Includes diagnostics, logging, and optional integration with AI assistants for content classification or tagging

Target Users

  • .NET developers building file-centric or user-data-centric applications
  • Indie devs creating offline-first or censorship-resistant apps
  • Enterprise teams needing secure alternatives to cloud storage
  • Archivists, researchers, creators – anyone who wants to control their data

Data types

  • Read/Write: Fully supports both upload and download
  • Data Visibility: Supports both private (encrypted) and public (shared) content
  • Network Integration: Uses Autonomi’s native data types like immutable data, append-only logs, and NRS links

🧠 What is AutonomiDB?

AutonomiDB is a document-oriented database inspired by MongoDB. It stores data in a JSON-like format (BSON), supports nested documents, collections, and dynamic schemas — all built on top of the decentralized Scratchpad within the Autonomi network.
There’s no central server, no SQL, no backend. Everything lives inside the agent’s mind.

The next step in the evolution of AutonomiNet is AutonomiDB.

🛡 What makes it special?

  • Works offline or entirely peer-to-peer
  • Requires no database, no backend, not even internet
  • Data can be encrypted, synced, or shared only when needed

🎯 Perfect for:

  • AI agents
  • Serverless smart apps
  • Decentralized chats
  • Personal assistants that need to “remember” without the cloud
