What is Artificial Superintelligence Alliance? It is a decentralized artificial-intelligence ecosystem built around autonomous software agents, AI services, data infrastructure, and distributed computing. Its primary token, FET, supports transactions, agent services, identity, marketplace activity, and economic incentives across the network.
Core technology and blockchain architecture
The ecosystem originated with Fetch.ai’s autonomous economic agents. These software agents can discover services, communicate, negotiate terms, exchange information, and complete tasks using blockchain-based payments. Developers build them with the open-source uAgents framework, while Agentverse provides tools for deployment, discovery, monitoring, and connectivity. The Almanac contract acts as a decentralized registry, and Fetch Name Service provides human-readable names for agents and functions.
SingularityNET contributes a decentralized marketplace where developers can publish AI services and users can discover and pay for capabilities such as inference, speech processing, image analysis, and data processing. CUDOS contributes distributed computing infrastructure intended for model training, inference, and agent execution. Ocean Protocol was part of the original merger design, particularly through data markets and compute-to-data concepts, but its foundation withdrew from the alliance on 9 October 2025 and resumed independent operations.
The existing Fetch.ai network uses the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint-style Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus, and delegated proof of stake. FET also exists as an Ethereum ERC-20 token and has representations on other networks, including Binance Smart Chain, Osmosis, Cardano, and Cronos. ASI:Chain is a separate development initiative described as an AI-native Layer 1 and blockDAG network with planned shards for compute, agent marketplaces, and Hyperon-based AI workloads.
Primary use cases
The network is designed for autonomous commerce and machine-to-machine coordination. Applications include automated procurement, logistics, travel planning, energy coordination, fleet management, supply-chain optimization, predictive maintenance, and personalized digital services.
Its AI marketplace model allows specialized services to operate without relying on one centralized provider. The broader infrastructure is also intended to combine cloud, edge, and intercloud computing for large-scale model training, real-time inference, and autonomous agent execution.
Who is behind Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and where is it based?
The alliance was announced on 27 March 2024 by Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol. Fetch.ai was founded in 2017 by Humayun Sheikh, Toby Simpson, and Thomas Hain. SingularityNET was founded in 2017 by Ben Goertzel and includes roboticist David Hanson among its co-founders. Ocean Protocol was co-founded by Trent McConaghy, with Bruce Pon also associated with its founding leadership.
The 2024 governance structure identified Ben Goertzel as alliance CEO and Humayun Sheikh as chairman. Fetch.ai has been associated with Cambridge, United Kingdom, while Fetch.ai communications later stated that its UK operating entity entered administration and that the group’s headquarters moved to Dubai. The Fetch.ai Foundation is a separate nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands and was established with representatives from Fetch.ai and Bosch.
SingularityNET’s foundation moved from Amsterdam to Zug, Switzerland, in February 2024. Alliance documentation proposed a Singapore-based foundation, and an October 2025 announcement referred to Superintelligence Alliance (Singapore) Ltd. The available sources do not establish that all alliance products operate through one consolidated company.
Tokenomics and supply
The 2024 merger was designed to convert SingularityNET’s AGIX and Ocean Protocol’s OCEAN into FET, making it the shared utility and reserve token. The announced conversion rates were approximately 0.433350 FET per AGIX and 0.433226 FET per OCEAN. The merger created additional supply to represent migrated tokens.
CoinStats records a circulating supply of 2,311,508,384 FET and a total supply of 2,714,384,547 FET. Historical allocations included token-sale participants, founders, advisors, the foundation, ecosystem development, and network incentives. The native network can issue tokens through validator and staking-related rewards. The alliance has also discussed fee-based “Earn and Burn” mechanisms, but their effect depends on actual implementation and usage.
Security, partnerships, and development
Delegated staking, validator participation, cryptographic signatures, distributed block validation, and Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus secure the established Fetch.ai network. Deutsche Telekom subsidiary Telekom MMS has operated as a validator, while Bosch and Fetch.ai collaborate through the Fetch.ai Foundation on industrial AI, IoT, and connected-device applications.
Recent development includes ASI-1 Mini, introduced in February 2025 as a Web3-focused language model for agentic workflows, and SingularityNET’s FET integration announced in May 2025. In November 2025, the alliance announced an ASI:Chain DevNet and Hyperon AGI Framework Alpha 1. The roadmap also includes ASI:Cloud, agent and marketplace shards, an advanced wallet CLI, and planned interoperability across Ethereum, Cardano, and Cosmos.
The project’s distinctive proposition is the combination of autonomous agents, decentralized AI services, distributed compute, blockchain settlement, and open AI research. Its architecture remains in transition, particularly because Ocean exited in 2025 and ASI:Chain was still at the DevNet or roadmap stage in the latest cited announcements.
