Fetch.ai pioneered the AI agent economy by developing autonomous economic agents (AEAs) that independently negotiate, transact, and generate value in decentralized networks, powering applications like supply chains, DeFi, and IoT.
The 2024 merger with SingularityNET (and initially Ocean Protocol) into the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) combined Fetch.ai's agent tech with SingularityNET's AI marketplace, creating a unified $ASI token ecosystem to accelerate decentralized AGI/ASI and challenge Big Tech dominance.
Despite Ocean's 2025 withdrawal amid disputes, the alliance (Fetch.ai + SingularityNET + CUDOS) persists, enabling breakthroughs like the world's first AI-to-AI payments (announced Dec 2025), boosting autonomous commerce and agent interoperability.
