The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), comprising Fetch.ai (FET), SingluarityNET (AGIX), and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), said the highly anticipated ASI token will be launched in May.
In an April 16 statement, the Alliance stated that the ASI token would merge the native digital assets of the three decentralized artificial intelligence protocols and rank among the top 20 cryptocurrencies, boasting an estimated $7.5 billion market capitalization.
ASI token
According to the merger terms, FET will be rebranded as ASI, with a token supply of 2.63 billion. The native tokens of SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol would also be migrated to ASI, with conversion rates of 0.433350:1 and 0.433226:1, respectively.
This development arrived nearly a month after the initial proposal was unveiled. The merger was proposed to bolster artificial intelligence growth and expedite investments in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Additionally, the merger aims to disrupt the dominance of big technological companies in AI technology development and commercialization.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, Founder and CEO of SingularityNET, views the merger as a stride towards democratizing AI development.
Meanwhile, Humayun Sheikh, chairman of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and CEO of Fetch.ai, said:
“This marks the beginning of a new chapter in AI development, where our collective efforts will drive progress towards decentralized AGI and ASI.”
AI among leading crypto narratives
CoinGecko’s report highlighted AI as one of the dominant narratives within the crypto industry during the first quarter of this year.
The sector experienced remarkable growth, boasting a staggering 222.0% in returns. Large-cap AI tokens led the charge, with AIOZ Network soaring by 480.2% and Fetch.ai by 378.3%.
Even the comparatively underperforming OriginTrail delivered a solid return of around 75% — highlighting the widespread interest in AI within the crypto community.
