FET (FET) Tokenomics

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) represents a major consolidation in the decentralized AI sector, merging three prominent projects—Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol—into a unified ecosystem. The transition to the $ASI token is a multi-phase process designed to create a universal AI token that powers a decentralized AI infrastructure.

Issuance Mechanism

The issuance of the ASI token is primarily driven by a fixed-rate migration from the three founding protocols. The total supply of ASI tokens is set at 2.63 billion.

The issuance follows a specific conversion logic based on the original tokens of the merging projects:

• Fetch.ai (FET): Serves as the base for the merger. During Phase I, which began on July 1, 2024, the project rebranded to the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, and FET remained the active ticker on exchanges while AGIX and OCEAN began their migration into it.
• SingularityNET (AGIX): Migrates to ASI at a fixed rate of 1.00 AGIX to 0.433350 ASI.
• Ocean Protocol (OCEAN): Migrates to ASI at a fixed rate of 1.00 OCEAN to 0.433226 ASI.

The swap mechanism for these tokens is designed to remain open indefinitely, ensuring that long-term holders can migrate their assets without a strict deadline.

Allocation Mechanism

The allocation of the ASI token supply is determined by the proportional contribution of the three founding projects. A significant portion of the supply is dedicated to the token swaps for existing holders.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The ASI token is designed to be the lifeblood of the combined ecosystem, facilitating transactions, governance, and service access across the decentralized AI marketplace.

• Medium of Exchange: ASI is used to facilitate trade transactions on the AI marketplace. For example, in the SingularityNET component, users pay for AI services (API calls to AI agents) using the token.
• Staking: A core incentive mechanism where users can stake tokens to earn rewards. Staking rewards are typically paid out at the end of a 30-day period in proportion to the user's stake.
• Governance: ASI tokenholders, alongside the Artificial Superintelligence Council, govern the Alliance. This includes voting on grant proposals for ecosystem development through initiatives like "Deep Funding."
• Service Access: The token is required to access various tiers of AI services. While some free tiers exist, higher-level usage and "Superservices" require token-based payments.
• Ecosystem Airdrops: Holding the token qualifies users for potential airdrops from new projects launching within the Alliance ecosystem.

Locking and Unlocking Mechanisms

The locking mechanisms for the Alliance are primarily tied to its staking and migration phases.

• Staking Lock: In the current staking model, tokens are locked for 30-day windows. During this period, withdrawals are disabled. If a user does not withdraw their stake and accrued rewards at the end of the window, the protocol automatically re-stakes them for the next 30-day period.
• Migration Phases:
  • Phase I (Started July 1, 2024): Focused on merging tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. AGIX and OCEAN tokens were temporarily merged into FET.
  • Phase II: Focuses on community onboarding and support for multi-chain migrations, including deployments on Cardano and Polygon.
• Liquidity and Governance: While specific long-term "vesting" schedules for the unified ASI entity were not detailed in the provided data, the migration rates are fixed, and the swap tool remains open indefinitely to prevent forced liquidity events.

Information regarding specific, granular "unlocking times" for team or investor tranches specifically for the new ASI entity (beyond the existing schedules of the original three projects) was not available in the provided disclosures.
