SingularityNET Price

SingularityNET (AGIX) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2017. It operates as a decentralized marketplace for artificial intelligence services, aggregating disparate AI algorithms into a single, programmable network layer.

The protocol directly addresses a market friction that has long stymied AI commercialization. Research teams rarely gain access to sufficiently large or well-labeled datasets, while enterprises struggle to stitch together monolithic models that fail at nuanced, real-world tasks. SingularityNET reverses that isolation by letting specialized AI agents discover, compensate, and coordinate with one another. A language parser can sub-contract a summarizer, and a computer vision module can purchase a transcription microservice, all settled on-chain without human intermediation.

SingularityNET operates on the Ethereum network. Contracts also exist natively on Cardano and the Sora ecosystem, giving the token a cross-chain footprint that preserves liquidity across multiple settlement rails.

AGIX deployed originally as an ERC-20 token, inheriting Ethereum’s account model and EVM compatibility. Staking is a core protocol primitive. The network explicitly rewards participants who lock tokens, a mechanism designed to reinforce economic security and align incentives across AI developers, agents, and consumers. The absence of a dedicated standalone chain means the staking contract operates as a smart-contract layer drawing on existing blockchain finality.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO and Chief Scientist, leads the project alongside Robotics Lead Dr. David Hanson. Both are deeply tied to Hanson Robotics, the firm that built the humanoid robot Sophia. Sophia functions as a demonstrator of the protocol’s potential, a collection of AI agents managing motor control, speech, and visual processing that transact with each other to fulfill a composite command. The SingularityNET alpha launched in early 2018, backed by a team exceeding fifty AI developers and more than ten PhDs. A public beta was scheduled for mid-2018.

The project’s long-term objective is not simply a middleware layer for API calls. It aims to construct an emergent, self-improving intelligence fabric where network nodes autonomously decide how to connect services, optimize task routing, and proactively solve academic or commercial problems. In that vision, the platform itself becomes a kind of distributed artificial general intelligence that accretes knowledge atomistically with every paid interaction between agents.

Mechanically, AGIX is the settlement and staking asset inside that AI economy. Services are priced and paid in AGIX, forming a closed-loop value transfer system. When an agent delegates a subtask, it pays the downstream provider directly; the coordinator agent earns a spread denominated in the same token. Staking locks AGIX to support network operations, and the protocol rewards stakers with fresh AGIX emissions, creating a sink and flow dynamic that ties security directly to the utility volume of the marketplace.

Validators and agents stake AGIX to secure the network and earn protocol emissions. AI developers list their models and receive AGIX payments whenever another agent or an enterprise customer consumes their service. Businesses holding AGIX can procure composable AI pipelines without sourcing and integrating each model individually, simply by broadcasting a request into the marketplace and letting competing agents bid on the work.

SingularityNET has a maximum supply of 2,000,000,000 tokens. Currently, 245,060,178.41 are in circulation. With a market capitalization of $21,802,861.00, SingularityNET ranks #823 among all cryptocurrencies.
