Autonity Blockchain

Autonity is a public, EVM based, proof-of-stake blockchain for decentralized clearing of smart derivatives contracts.

Autonity aims to make every risk that the market wants to speculate on or hedge against into a smart derivative product that is tradable between anyone in a fully decentralized ecosystem of price discovery and trade execution.

The Autonity project is driven forward by a community that is passionate about the social benefits of monetary and market structure innovation. You can join and work with the Autonity "Piccadilly" testnet right now, and there will be further testnet initiatives in the near future!

Over the last year, the "Piccadilly Circus Games Competition" presented a wide range of challenges for anyone to explore the Autonity protocol. The games have finished now, but watch out for future events in the run-up to mainnet!
