An accepted solution exists. Settled in another form, for example when its parts resolve differently or the question is open-ended.
Solved: the site labels the problem SOLVED (page last edited 15
October 2025), and Saxton and Thomason's lower bound
A(N)≥2(1.16+o(1))f(N) answers the first question yes and the second
no (claim page (Saxton Thomason, 2012)).

Guy, Richard K., Unsolved problems in number theory. 3rd ed., Problem Books in Mathematics, Springer, New York (2004), xviii+437 pp. Section C9 "Packing sums of pairs", p. 176: "Cameron & Erdős ask for an estimate of F(n), the number of Sidon sequences whose members are at most n. With m as above, it is not even known if F(n)/2m→∞, only that the upper limit is infinite. They believe that F(n)<nϵn. Progress has been made by Alon and by Calkin & Thomson, who showed that ∣F(n)∣=O(2n/2+o(n))", where m is the largest size of a Sidon subset of {1,…,n}. The last quoted sentence concerns sum-free sets: Guy's following paragraph credits the same papers by Alon and by Calkin with O(2n/2+o(n)) sum-free subsets, and as a bound on Sidon sets it would be vacuous beside A(N)≤N(1/2+o(1))N. The Lev--Schoen bounds that the section then records concern sum-free subsets of Zp, not Sidon sets. Library home: Guy 2004.
