The thematic analysis of BlackRock's perspectives for 2026 identifies a critical infrastructure bottleneck at the intersection of AI, cryptocurrencies, and tokenization. The Autonomys platform, leveraging blockchain-based AI, addresses this challenge with a unique storage architecture that ensures data remains decentralized and secure, positioning it as a valuable resource for network validation and paving the way for efficient innovation.

Abstract generation in progress

BlackRock’s thematic outlook analysis for 2026 reveals a critical challenge that few platforms are prepared to address: the infrastructure bottleneck that emerges when artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and tokenization converge. According to reports from Foresight News, this convergence requires not only innovation in applications but a radical transformation of the underlying data systems.

Autonomys, an AI infrastructure built on blockchain, has been specifically designed to tackle this bottleneck through a completely different architecture from conventional solutions. It functions as a native layer 1 storage network implemented on the Subspace protocol, designed to ensure that data remains decentralized, encryptable, verifiable, and globally accessible without compromising scalability.

Infrastructure challenge in AI-blockchain convergence

The fundamental reason why the infrastructure bottleneck has become a priority for institutional investors like BlackRock is simple but profound: current systems prioritize computational power or capital as scarce resources, when the real limitation lies in the capacity for secure and verifiable storage. This distinction is crucial to understanding why infrastructure precedes application innovation.

PoAS: transforming storage into a security asset

Autonomys’s core innovation, known as Proof of Archived Storage (PoAS), completely reverses the traditional security model. Instead of anchoring consensus in computational power or economic stake, PoAS links network security directly to stored historical data. This positions decentralized storage as a scarce and economically valuable resource for network validation.

This approach solves the bottleneck in two ways simultaneously: first, it eliminates competition for intensive computing resources; second, it turns data redundancy into a security mechanism. Autonomys’s architecture precisely anticipates what BlackRock projects as necessary for 2026: efficient, scalable infrastructure based on verifiable data.
