A Protocol for Automating Tasks with AI,
Note: The page’s title Fetch-ai should have been Fetch.ai,
but WordPress pages doesn’t seem to like periods in it’s title.
What is Fetch.ai ?
- Fetch.ai is a blockchain based artificial intelligence protocol that aims to power the new digital economy
- It allows people to create software agents that automate tasks on behalf of their owners.
- The agents work as a network of independent parties.
- To perform their tasks, they connect and negotiate with one another.
- The process of agents finding, negotiating, and interacting with one another is all automated, and requires no user input.
- Any resulting agreements between agents are then processed on the Fetch.ai blockchain.
- Anyone can create their own custom agent
- and then earn rewards for providing services
- like trading, data retrieval, and more.
What is the FET token ?
- FET is the native token of the Fetch blockchain.
- It’s the main medium of exchange used in the protocol.
- FET tokens are required to pay for transactions and network operations, and can be used to pay agents for providing services.
- FET is also required to deploy new agents on the network and pay for their operations.
- Users who run their own software agents with Fetch.ai can begin generating rewards for the services that they provide.
- Users can also contribute to network security by staking their FET in order to receive rewards.
- People who stake FET tokens may also be eligible for future Stake Drops – distributions of new projects’ tokens as they are launched.
The Future of Fetch.ai
- Fetch 2.0 went live in Q1 2021 with security and usability upgrades scheduled throughout late 2021 and early 2022.
- As an autonomous machine-to-machine ecosystem,
- Fetch.ai allows businesses and individuals to interact with each other directly.
- This requires the need for intermediaries – reducing costs and freeing up resources for further development.
- Today, the protocol is already being implemented by DeFi, Mobility, Supply Chain, and Travel Management solutions.
- Fetch.ai is increasingly attracting development from third-party teams, with cross-chain compatibility scheduled for Q4 2021.
- The Fetch team hopes to continue to develope the protocol to adress issues faced in DeFi automation, mobility, healthcare, and travel.
