SingularityNET has an extensive team largely of AI scientists, developers, researchers and engineers.

It was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel (SingularityNET's CEO and chief scientist) in addition to Simone Giacomelli and Dr. David Hanson.

Dr. Ben Goertzel is an established figure in the AI and robotics industry and has a long distinguished track record of working with advanced technology companies — including Hanson Robotics and the OpenCog Foundation. He also works as Mozi Health's chief scientist and vice chairman for Humanity+.

Simone Giacomelli is an entrepreneur and investor that previously worked for crypto consultancy Cryptodex. He left the SingularityNET project in March 2019 and is now focused on the technology R&D lab Vulpem, which he founded in 2015.

Dr. David Hanson is SingularityNET's third co-founder. He has a long and varied history in the robotics industry, working with Disney between 1998 and 2001 before founding several robotics startups — including Human Emulation Robotics, Initiative for Awakening Machines and Hanson Robotics over the last two decades.

SingularityNET is the first platform that makes it easy for developers to sell their AI tools and libraries and enables buyers to test any AI service provided on the marketplace to see if it meets their needs before making payment.

On top of this, those in need of specific AI services can also tap SingularityNET’s extensive community of AI specialists through the Request for AI portal (RFAI) — which allows customers to easily commission a new AI tool, while developers can earn AGIX tokens by filling these requests.

The utility of the AGIX token has evolved with the development of the SingularityNET ecosystem. In October 2020, SingularityNET launched its SingularityNET Enhancement Proposal (SNEP) feature, enabling AGIX holders to vote on changes to the network’s operations. Whereas in March 2020, a staking feature was added, enabling users to stake their tokens

In a collaboration with Hanson Robotics, SingularityNET recently released a joint venture known as Awakening Health, which develops products that leverage AI for healthcare purposes. Its first product is Grace, a humanoid assistant for the healthcare industry.

As of February 2021, a total of 861.5 million AGIX tokens representing 86% of the total supply were in circulation. As such, AGIX can be considered largely diluted.

Half (50%) of the total AGIX supply was sold during SingularityNET's 2017 ICO. Beyond this 20% was reserved for early developer and partner incentives, 18% for the core team members (now fully vested), 8% for the SingularityNET foundation for the long-term development of the platform, whereas the last 4% was reserved for security bounties.

AGIX is an ERC-20 token.

This means it’s backed by the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and battle-tested network of validators. To date, the Ethereum network has never been successfully attacked and is considered one of the most secure networks currently operating.

The team behind SingularityNET has hinted that SingularityNET may move to another blockchain in the future, and recently announced it was exploring the possibility of launching on the delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) Cardano blockchain.

The AGIX token is available to trade on several prominent exchange platforms, including Binance, KuCoin, and HitBTC. It's also available on two of the most popular DEXs — Uniswap and Balancer. Currently, the only available trading pairs for AGIX are AGIX/BTC, AGIX/ETH, and AGIX/WETH.

It is not currently possible to purchase AGIX directly with your credit or debit card from any of these exchange platforms, but you may be able to buy Bitcoin (BTC) first, and then exchange this for AGIX. Here’s how.
