It's still under active development, and the aim is to launch a working network in January 2025.
It has been a long process, but what they're aiming to offer is not the same as IPFS, ZeroNet, Storj, Arweave etc.
If they deliver, I expect it'll be pretty big... they're not there yet, but still working towards what I consider a very worthwhile goal.
It's rebranded recently to Autonomi.
They've made huge progress in the past year or so technically. A big, and controversial, recent development that aims to get things started more quickly is to temporarily use an ERC20 L2 token for network payments for storage at launch, ahead of their native token being sufficiently developed and battle tested to take on this role.

Wow. Never thought they would get this far. Wasn't aware about the rebranding until now. Thanks for showing me that. If the developer team stands by the project's original principles, I can see it going new heights in the future. We need a truly-decentralized Internet that would make crypto (and our society) great again. Not even Ethereum has been able to de-centralize the web. Those so-called "dApps" are still centralized. Why? Because developers built them using centralized infrastructure. Everything from the domain name, to the server hosting the website are centralized.
A truly-decentralized Internet would have each component decentralized. Just like the name says. No middleman or third parties involved. Just P2P connections like ZeroNet does. The question is: Will Autonomi gather enough funding to sustain itself for generations? If it gathers the attention of mainstream investors, then yes, I believe so. The community will ultimately decide the fate of the project. Just my two sats
