Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol's planned $7.5 billion ASI token to launch in May

ASI token
According to the merger terms, FET will be rebranded as ASI, with a token supply of 2.63 billion. The native tokens of SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol would also be migrated to ASI, with conversion rates of 0.433350:1 and 0.433226:1, respectively.
This development arrived nearly a month after the initial proposal was unveiled. The merger was proposed to bolster artificial intelligence growth and expedite investments in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Additionally, the merger aims to disrupt the dominance of big technological companies in AI technology development and commercialization.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, Founder and CEO of SingularityNET, views the merger as a stride towards democratizing AI development.
Meanwhile, Humayun Sheikh, chairman of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and CEO of Fetch.ai, said:
“This marks the beginning of a new chapter in AI development, where our collective efforts will drive progress towards decentralized AGI and ASI.”
