ASI: The Future Giant of Decentralized AI?

Major Token Merger of Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, Ocean Protocol, and Cudos!

The token merger between Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, Ocean Protocol, and Cudos is a significant milestone in the decentralized AI ecosystem. This alliance, named the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), aims to create a powerful network by combining the strengths of four complementary projects to offer advanced, ethical, and accessible AI solutions.

The goal is to build an open infrastructure based on cloud computing and decentralization technologies, ensuring scalability and security while fostering collaborative innovation.

In this article, we’ll briefly present each project and its benefits within the merger. In the final section, we’ll outline the steps needed to migrate your tokens to the ASI ecosystem.

Introduction to Fetch.ai

Fetch.ai is a decentralized platform specializing in deploying autonomous agents that interact and collaborate in a decentralized manner. These intelligent agents automate complex economic processes, whether in logistics, finance, or mobility sectors. Fetch.ai’s strength lies in its ability to make these interactions autonomous while respecting confidentiality and energy efficiency principles on a decentralized infrastructure.

Fetch.ai's Contribution to the ASI Alliance

By joining the ASI Alliance, Fetch.ai will benefit from Cudos' decentralized computing infrastructure to enhance its autonomous agents, enabling them to process massive data in real-time more efficiently. Additionally, collaborating with Ocean Protocol will facilitate secure access to shared datasets, enriching these agents' decision-making capabilities. This merger paves the way for a more interconnected, efficient, and globally scalable ecosystem of intelligent agents.

Introduction to SingularityNET

SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace dedicated to AI services. It allows developers to monetize their AI algorithms by making them accessible via the AGIX token. SingularityNET's goal is to build a global network where every actor can contribute to and access AI services in a decentralized manner, facilitating the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and collaborative innovation.

SingularityNET's Contribution to the ASI Alliance

By integrating into the ASI Alliance, SingularityNET will leverage Cudos’ enhanced computing capabilities to execute more complex AI algorithms faster, improving the overall performance of its services. Furthermore, the integration with Fetch.ai will create synergies where autonomous agents can interact directly with SingularityNET’s AI algorithms, forming an ecosystem where AI and autonomous agents strengthen each other for even more powerful solutions.

Introduction to Ocean Protocol

Ocean Protocol is a platform focused on securely and ethically sharing data in a decentralized manner. Through its OCEAN token, Ocean Protocol enables users to monetize their data while retaining full control over their confidentiality. The platform uses blockchain technology to ensure data transactions are transparent, secure, and verifiable.

Ocean Protocol's Contribution to the ASI Alliance

With the ASI Alliance, Ocean Protocol will benefit from Cudos' computing infrastructure to analyze and process shared data faster and more efficiently. Moreover, Fetch.ai will utilize the data enriched by Ocean Protocol for its autonomous agents, providing them with real-time information to enhance their performance. Finally, the connection with SingularityNET will allow for the development of advanced AI services based on data, ensuring a seamless and interconnected ecosystem for cutting-edge decentralized applications.

Introduction to Cudos

Cudos is a decentralized cloud computing infrastructure designed for Web3. Using a global network of distributed resources, Cudos deploys high-performance applications, such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and the metaverse, through virtual machines (VMs). The platform offers a scalable and secure alternative to traditional cloud solutions, ensuring permissionless access and compatibility with blockchain technologies.

Cudos' Contribution to the ASI Alliance

By joining the ASI Alliance, Cudos will enhance the network's computing capabilities, providing decentralized cloud power to projects like Fetch.ai and SingularityNET. This synergy will allow massive data processing and the deployment of complex AI services more efficiently. For instance, Fetch.ai’s autonomous agents and SingularityNET’s AI algorithms will benefit from optimized cloud infrastructure, accelerating the development and execution of applications while maintaining decentralization principles.

Advantages of the Token Merger in the ASI Alliance

The merger of Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, Ocean Protocol, and Cudos tokens under the $ASI token brings several strategic and economic benefits:

• Economy of Scale: By unifying their technological resources, these projects gain increased computing and data processing power, accelerating the development of decentralized AI solutions.
• Enhanced Business Model: Each project previously operated with its token at the core of its ecosystem. By merging under $ASI, the token gains multiple and extended use cases, becoming the central element of an interconnected ecosystem that encompasses data management, computing power, AI services, and decentralized automation. This will not only increase token demand but also its intrinsic value.
• Optimized Interoperability: The merger enables better integration of each project's capabilities (computing, data processing, AI algorithms) within a global ecosystem, simplifying the development of interconnected decentralized applications.
• On-Chain Governance: $ASI holders will actively participate in the Alliance’s governance, influencing strategic decisions and technological developments in a more ambitious project.

Future Prospects

The ASI Alliance aims to create an evolving and open decentralized AI ecosystem, ready to integrate new AI projects to expand its capabilities and reach. Positioning itself as an alternative to tech giants, this initiative seeks to establish new ethical, transparent, and decentralized standards in the AI sector. The $ASI token, with its broad utility, will become the pillar of this ecosystem, providing a unified and simplified solution for developers, businesses, and end users.

How to Migrate Your Tokens to the ASI Alliance

The conversion of FET tokens to $ASI will take place on Fetch.ai's existing blockchain infrastructure. There will be no new chain creation, and the migration will use the current setup. However, the timeline for renaming to $ASI and updating the ticker is not yet defined, meaning the token will remain as FET until the transition is finalized.

Here's everything you need to know to safely migrate your tokens and take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Conversion of AGIX, OCEAN, and CUDOS Tokens:

• Token holders can convert their tokens into FET using the SingularityDAO migration platform. This process occurs on Ethereum (EVM), resulting in ERC-20 FET tokens.
• The conversion is done on Ethereum (EVM), giving FETs in ERC-20.

Migration to the Native Blockchain:

• After conversion, use the Fetch.ai Token Bridge to transfer your ERC-20 FET tokens to Fetch.ai's native blockchain.

• For this process, connect only your Metamask wallet (ERC-20) and input your Fetch.ai address as the recipient. You can retrieve this address on Keplr.

• If Fetch.ai's chain is not visible in Keplr, add it using chains.keplr.app, then copy your Fetch.ai address to complete the migration.

• 🛑 If you use a Ledger: Ensure it's set to the Cosmos network to interact with your tokens, as Fetch.ai is built on the Cosmos SDK.

Conclusion

The token merger within the ASI Alliance offers a unique opportunity to develop a more powerful and accessible decentralized AI ecosystem. By unifying several flagship projects under one token, the alliance paves the way for a future where AI applications and blockchain technologies strengthen each other. Migrating your tokens to FET (and later $ASI) allows you to actively participate in this transformation.
