The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI Alliance) is a merger of three leading AI blockchain projects — Fetch.ai (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX), and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) — united under a single token (FET, rebranded to ASI) with the shared mission of building open-source, decentralised artificial superintelligence as an alternative to corporate-controlled AI. Announced in 2024 and representing a combined market cap of several billion dollars, it is the largest collaborative effort in the AI crypto space.
What each founding project contributes: Fetch.ai — autonomous AI agent infrastructure and the agentverse platform, where developers can create, deploy, and monetise AI agents that autonomously perform tasks, negotiate, and transact; SingularityNET (founded by Dr Ben Goertzel, a leading AGI researcher) — a decentralised marketplace for AI algorithms and services; Ocean Protocol — a decentralised data marketplace enabling privacy-preserving data sharing and monetisation for AI training. Together, the ASI Alliance covers the full AI stack: data → algorithms → agents. The FET/ASI token is used across all three ecosystems for payments, staking, and governance. The Alliance is one of the most prominent names in the AI crypto narrative and is frequently cited alongside NEAR, ICP, and Bittensor as core AI blockchain infrastructure.
Example: A researcher uses Ocean Protocol to access private medical datasets for AI training, runs the model on SingularityNET’s marketplace, then deploys it as a Fetch.ai agent that autonomously answers health queries — all paying in FET/ASI tokens.
