SingularityNET

About

SingularityNET is a decentralized platform for AI application which makes use of blockchain technology and AI to create an environment where developers can create, distribute, and earn from their own AI applications. It was started by Dr. Ben Goertzel along with the team that developed the humanoid robot, Sophia. The project focuses on decentralized AI, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), AI agents, and Web3 AI infrastructure. Businesses, developers, and researchers can use the platform to access AI tools through its blockchain-based marketplaces and native token ecosystem. Key Features of SingularityNET • • Encourages collaboration among AI applications for open-source. • Provides support for Ethereum and Cardano for enhanced scalability and interoperability. • Token holders are enabled to vote on any proposals and decisions within the ecosystem through decentralized governance. • Developers earn from AI applications independently of the existence of centralized platforms. SingularityNET Milestones Year Achievements 2017 SingularityNET was founded to build the world’s first decentralized AI marketplace SingularityNET completed its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and raised $36 million in under 60 seconds through its ICO to build the first decentralized AI marketplace. 2018 Released the alpha version of the marketplace and introduced AGI token utilities for AI transactions. Worked with Sophia the Robot to showcase decentralized AI use cases. 2019 Launched the public beta version of the Ethereum-based SingularityNET Marketplace, where developers could publish and monetize AI algorithms through smart contracts. 2020 Expanded into projects like SingularityDAO and Rejuve.AI. Started planning a move from Ethereum-only infrastructure to a multi-chain framework. 2021 Approved the Phase Two migration to support Cardano alongside Ethereum. Rebranded the token from AGI to AGIX and introduced NuNet. 2022 Launched the AGIX bridge between Ethereum and Cardano. Continued developing OpenCog Hyperon and introduced the Deep Funding program for AI developers. 2023 Developed AI-DSL to help AI services communicate automatically. Added Cardano-based AGIX staking support. 2024 Merged with Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol to form the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). Started integrating AGIX into the FET (ASI) ecosystem and launched AIRIS in Minecraft. 2025 Upgraded Python and Node.js SDKs, integrated Filecoin storage, launched ASI: Chain DevNet, and expanded OpenCog Hyperon into scalable AGI environments.
