Mass adoption of AI technology has begun. But with nearly every industry racing to develop and deploy AI-powered technologies, the biggest growth is yet to come. According to Transparency Market Research, the global artificial intelligence market is projected to grow from $233.8 billion in 2017 to $3.1 trillion in 2025.
 
The biggest gains will be experienced by AIs that can learn from each other, leveraging external datasets and capabilities. There is currently no platform that enables this type of interoperability and coordination. Our team of AI veterans knows first-hand how much businesses and their developers crave a way to monetize and leverage the collective capabilities and resources of external AIs.

With SingularityNET, companies, organizations, and individuals can empower their AI agents to participate in markets, buying and selling goods and services. No longer must AIs exist in silos, only capable of operating within a specific company, infrastructure, or industry.

AIs can use SingularityNET markets to buy rare and valuable datasets or analytical capabilities that previously needed to be developed in-house from scratch. AIs can also use SingularityNET markets to monetize their own assets, creating massive value from proprietary information, algorithms, and functionality.

Partnerships

With one of the most experienced teams in crypto, SingularityNET has attracted partnerships with other blockchain and AI projects, such as Hanson Robotics, Economic Space Agency, Humanity+, d10e, AGI Society, Moonshot, and more. The SingularityNET platform is being built on OpenCog technology, currently in use by more than 50 global companies with over $250 billion in combined revenues, including Cisco Systems and Huawei Technologies.

We’ve also collaborated with more than 100 industry experts across various technical and operational fields, many of whom contributed to the core infrastructure that SingularityNET will run on.


ABOUT THE AGI COIN

SingularityNET aims to become the key protocol for networking AI and machine learning tools to form a coordinated Artificial General Intelligence.

To accomplish this, the SingularityNET platform must be powered by a utility token that is tailored to enabling its core functionality. The SingularityNET token AGI is structured to promote four key mechanisms detailed below, including transactions, settlements, incentives, and governance.


AGI COIN FEATURES

1. Transactions

Blockchain technology provides an ideal tool for managing network transactions on SingularityNET due to its transactional and bookkeeping advantages. But a blockchain-based framework needs to be designed to allow AI Agents to interact with each other and external customers. We tailored the AGI token for this purpose. It enables interoperability (the network will be able to interface with multiple blockchains and network infrastructures), modularity (flexible network capabilities make it possible to create custom topologies), scalability (resilient applications can be built with near zero transaction costs) and data sovereignty (access is validated through smart contracts and the blockchain).

2.Settlements

Without the AGI token, AI agents would need access to the native tokens of other protocols in order to transact in their networks and interact with their services. This becomes onerously complex when integrating multiple goods, services, and agents.
With the AGI token, network users can transact on the market place from thousands of contracts, technologies, and protocols. All transactions occur on a single, publicly-auditable transaction ledger. This creates a plug-and-play experience for AI developers. Buyers can easily integrate any external resource or capability, while sellers can seamlessly monetize any asset.

3. Incentives

The open, decentralized nature of SingularityNET gives it more potential for dynamic, effective intelligence than any more closed, monolithic system could possess. To take advantage of this, we’re building incentive mechanisms into the network to promote to creation, curation, and distribution of AI services. For example, AGI tokens will be distributed as rewards for contributing utility to the network.

4. Governance

Market transactions may occur between AI Agents in the network, or between external entities and AI Agents. In order to foster a vibrant market, SingularityNET will not charge any transaction fees. Rather, network operations will be funded democratically, via decisions of network participants to direct a fraction of newly created tokens toward entities providing and enhancing network infrastructure and associated tools.

Partnerships

With one of the most experienced teams in crypto, SingularityNET has attracted partnerships with other blockchain and AI projects, such as Hanson Robotics, Economic Space Agency, Humanity+, d10e, AGI Society, Moonshot, and more. The SingularityNET platform is being built on OpenCog technology, currently in use by more than 50 global companies with over $250 billion in combined revenues, including Cisco Systems and Huawei Technologies.

We’ve also collaborated with more than 100 industry experts across various technical and operational fields, many of whom contributed to the core infrastructure that SingularityNET will run on.


ABOUT THE AGI COIN

SingularityNET aims to become the key protocol for networking AI and machine learning tools to form a coordinated Artificial General Intelligence.

To accomplish this, the SingularityNET platform must be powered by a utility token that is tailored to enabling its core functionality. The SingularityNET token AGI is structured to promote four key mechanisms detailed below, including transactions, settlements, incentives, and governance.


AGI COIN FEATURES

1. Transactions

Blockchain technology provides an ideal tool for managing network transactions on SingularityNET due to its transactional and bookkeeping advantages. But a blockchain-based framework needs to be designed to allow AI Agents to interact with each other and external customers. We tailored the AGI token for this purpose. It enables interoperability (the network will be able to interface with multiple blockchains and network infrastructures), modularity (flexible network capabilities make it possible to create custom topologies), scalability (resilient applications can be built with near zero transaction costs) and data sovereignty (access is validated through smart contracts and the blockchain).

2.Settlements

Without the AGI token, AI agents would need access to the native tokens of other protocols in order to transact in their networks and interact with their services. This becomes onerously complex when integrating multiple goods, services, and agents.
With the AGI token, network users can transact on the market place from thousands of contracts, technologies, and protocols. All transactions occur on a single, publicly-auditable transaction ledger. This creates a plug-and-play experience for AI developers. Buyers can easily integrate any external resource or capability, while sellers can seamlessly monetize any asset.

3. Incentives

The open, decentralized nature of SingularityNET gives it more potential for dynamic, effective intelligence than any more closed, monolithic system could possess. To take advantage of this, we’re building incentive mechanisms into the network to promote to creation, curation, and distribution of AI services. For example, AGI tokens will be distributed as rewards for contributing utility to the network.

4. Governance

Market transactions may occur between AI Agents in the network, or between external entities and AI Agents. In order to foster a vibrant market, SingularityNET will not charge any transaction fees. Rather, network operations will be funded democratically, via decisions of network participants to direct a fraction of newly created tokens toward entities providing and enhancing network infrastructure and associated tools.

It looks promising project, all the information is very detailed, i think that is good project worth to invest. bty, pls update official social media links to the team members

[proexcept]

Where is your bounty thread?

[xOdiumNostrumx]

I noticed a solid amount of traction about the project lately, surprised to see so little activity in here.

[aliketrogle]

Not bad, not bad

The ICO has been delayed to second half of december. Oversubscribed.

https://blog.singularitynet.io/singularitynet-token-sale-receives-150m-in-pledges-date-extended-to-handle-overwhelming-demand-672165d613e6

the official announcement.

It would be nice if the team come more here to answer questions. Too many people in the telegram, it is not relevant anymore...

Do we have to register for the whitelist a second time with this new ICO date or the first whitelist registration is still valide ?

Thanks

[herfie.chen]

AI technology project in blockchain, it will be interesting project. Do you have bounty program for this project dev? i always following SingularityNET project.

So where is information about bounty campaign. I'd like to take part in it.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

I am pretty sure that at the moment there is no bounty campaign, but fingers crossed that there will be one.

[orionluckyse7en]

Wow...amazing team structure and background. This will be a powerful team to build an impressive project like this. I'm waiting for bounty campaign live dev..

[BillionDollarMan]

I have been whitelisted. Bring on skynet, I am ready with my tokens 

[NakiRR]

So where is information about bounty campaign. I'd like to take part in it.

i didn't find any too, think they haven't bounty program and if it will not be announced i will purchase tokens on pre-ico or ico stage) like such projects very much!

[Tramirostronix]

if you do an ico, and need a translator

please reserve french ! 
i wanna work in ai and robotics   field so it will be an honour 

[wetlight]

Where is your bounty thread?

I highly doubt that now with so much demand they will implement a bounty. Just like QuantStamp they will probably do not implement one and use the tokens for something else!

Take advantage now mon ami! Because this project will change the way many things will be done in the future, specially translations! 

[Jonnylolo]

Hi there, any updates as to when the token sale will be? I know it supposed to be 8th of Dec but got postponed?

[PalahniuKC]

The team should come here and be more active with its community. I know the pre-sale is live so more communication would be welcome. Hard Cap still planned ? payment in BTC or ETH only ? individual cap ?
I hope they engaged a professional advisor team to help them handle the high interest in their ICO. Maybe the team can tell us with whom they work on that point ?

Good luck
