At the Web Summit in Lisbon, the SingularityNET Foundation and partners of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance unveiled two innovations set to redefine the landscape of Artificial Intelligence: ASI:Chain DevNet and Hyperon AGI Framework Alpha 1.
These newly launched technologies represent a decisive step towards an open and decentralized AI, offering developers and researchers the opportunity to build intelligent systems that are interconnected and increasingly human-like, without the exclusive control of a single company.
The Goal: A Unified and Transparent Infrastructure for Advanced AI
According to Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and a prominent figure in the ASI Alliance, these developments mark “a fundamental step towards a unified and decentralized infrastructure for advanced AI,” based on collaboration and security rather than centralized control.
The intent is clear: to overcome the limitations of current closed systems, fostering an environment where progress is transparent and shared, and where every developer can contribute to the evolution of artificial intelligence.
Hyperon AGI Framework: The Open Lab for the New Generation of AI
An Environment for Experimentation and Collaboration
The Hyperon AGI Framework is presented as an open research and development platform, designed for those who wish to experiment and collaborate in building the next generation of intelligent systems.
It is not limited to creating simple chatbots or software tools, but aims to develop autonomous and open intelligences, using a variety of approaches: from deep neural networks to logical systems, from evolutionary learning to any other innovative methodology.
Technical Innovations: Atomspace and MeTTa
Among the main achievements reached are the extremely fast and scalable versions of Atomspace, Hyperon’s knowledge graph, and MeTTa, the AGI programming language that will also serve as the primary language for smart contracts on ASI:Chain.
These tools form the technological core of the new infrastructure, enabling the construction of autonomous agents and intelligent applications that can interact in a secure and transparent manner.
ASI:Chain: the decentralized network for billions of autonomous agents
A New Paradigm for Cooperation Among Intelligent Systems
ASI:Chain is a decentralized blockDAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) network, currently in the DevNet phase, designed to support billions of autonomous agents and intelligent applications.
This infrastructure offers open and transparent tracks, on which independent AI systems can cooperate securely.
Developers have the opportunity to create accounts, transfer test assets, test applications, and monitor activities thanks to transparent ledgers and capability-based access controls, which always make it clear who made changes, when, and why.
An Open Alternative to Tech Giants
Today, the most powerful AIs are closely guarded by a few large tech companies. The ASI Alliance – composed of SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and CUDOS – is building an open alternative, where anyone can create, connect, and enhance intelligent systems.
In this ecosystem, Hyperon acts as a shared “brain space” for reasoning, while ASI:Chain provides the decentralized backbone that connects these intelligences, ensuring fairness and security.
Next Steps: Community Testing and Rapid Development
Developer and Community Engagement
The upcoming goals include an expansion of community testing on ASI:Chain, moving towards broader public access, and a rapid evolution of Hyperon based on developer feedback.
Today, low-density and high-pattern tasks are already managed with great efficiency; future modules will extend performance to even denser workloads, while maintaining determinism and low latency.
Accessible Tools for Prototyping
To facilitate adoption, a Python-friendly onboarding is available, allowing for rapid prototyping and compilation into Hyperon’s core language, ensuring reproducible executions.
Developers, companies, and researchers are invited to experiment with Hyperon Alpha 1 and join the ASI:Chain DevNet, exploring how open and connected AI can power more secure and transparent applications.
Who are SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance
The Mission of SingularityNET
Founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel, SingularityNET was created with the mission to develop a decentralized, democratic, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
The platform brings together a global network of services and AI tools, promoting openness, collaboration, and ethical innovation in sectors ranging from robotics to finance, from biomedicine to the arts.
The ASI Alliance: A Collective for Decentralized Superintelligence
The Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance is a collective formed by Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and CUDOS.
It is the largest open-source and independent entity dedicated to the research and development of decentralized AI, with the goal of accelerating progress towards an Artificial General Intelligence and, ultimately, a truly open and accessible Artificial Superintelligence.
Towards a Future of Decentralized Intelligence
The announcement of ASI:Chain and Hyperon AGI Framework marks the beginning of a new phase for Artificial Intelligence: a future where the power of AI will no longer be the privilege of a few, but a shared asset of a global community.
With open, interoperable, and transparent tools, the path towards a decentralized and collaborative intelligence is finally laid out.
