SingularityNET: February 2025 Ecosystem Update and Strategic Developments

SingularityNET is revolutionising decentralised AI with groundbreaking innovations, strategic partnerships, and a $500K grant for AGI projects. From MeTTa scalability to Web3 hackathons, explore how SingularityNET is shaping the future of AI. 

SingularityNET is a decentralised artificial intelligence (AI) platform that enables developers, businesses, and individuals to create, share, and monetise AI services at scale. Built on blockchain technology, SingularityNET provides an open marketplace where AI services can be accessed and integrated across various applications, fostering innovation in artificial general intelligence (AGI). 

The platform is designed to make AI development more transparent, collaborative, and accessible, ensuring that AI advancements remain decentralised and benefit a global community. Through its diverse ecosystem of AI-driven projects, strategic partnerships, and funding initiatives, SingularityNET continues to push the boundaries of AI research, infrastructure, and commercial adoption.

The February 2025 ecosystem update highlights significant developments across SingularityNET’s decentralised AI platform, including core infrastructure improvements, strategic collaborations, and new funding opportunities. 

Advancements in decentralised AI platform

The development team has made substantial progress in refining the Decentralised AI Platform, focusing on improving core functionalities, developer tools, and user experience. Key updates include:

• Python SDK Upgrade (v3.7.0): The latest version introduces integrated training functionality, enabling developers to manage and execute training tasks programmatically. The update also aligns package naming with PEP-625 standards and increases code coverage to 30%. Documentation has been revised to provide clearer guidance for developers.
• NodeJS SDK Improvements: Build issues in the snet-sdk-node and snet-sdk-core packages have been resolved, and payment strategy methods have been fixed. Usage examples for free and concurrent calls have been added to simplify implementation.
• Filecoin Integration: Efforts to integrate Filecoin into the Marketplace are ongoing, aiming to expand storage options and enhance platform resilience. Development is focused on bug-fixing and optimisation to ensure seamless performance.
• Frontend and Backend Updates: The frontend now includes new feedback forms, MetaMask account change detection fixes, and improved service filtering. Backend services have seen bug fixes and continued work on Filecoin integration. Publishers can now choose between IPFS and Filecoin for storing organisations and services, offering greater deployment flexibility.
• Daemon and CLI Upgrades: The Daemon has been updated to version 5.2, with improvements to error handling and model storage. The CLI (v2.4.1) addresses resource-related bugs and includes new functional tests.
• UI Sandbox Overhaul: The UI Sandbox has been revamped with frontend and backend improvements, offering developers a modern framework for creating, customising, and deploying AI service interfaces. A new step-by-step tutorial has been published to guide developers.

Strategic initiatives and partnerships

The Strategic Initiatives Office has been actively working to strengthen SingularityNET’s position in the decentralised AI space. As of February 2025, SingularityNET has established 40 active partnerships across AGI-Ops, new revenue streams, and new ventures. These collaborations are driving product development, recurring revenue, and ecosystem growth.

Key achievements include:

• Partnership with Bitgrit: This collaboration connects Bitgrit’s global network of over 35,000 AI/ML engineers and data scientists with SingularityNET’s OpenCog Hyperon AGI framework. Bitgrit’s AI services, such as the Generative AI Fake Image Detection API and X Virality Prediction API, will be integrated into the SingularityNET Platform.
• Collaboration with Mind Network: The partnership introduces the ASI Hub, a decentralised infrastructure leveraging Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to secure AI agent identities and generate on-chain, verifiable randomness. This innovation ensures trusted AI interactions and privacy-preserving authentication.

$500,000 in grants for AI and AGI projects

The SingularityNET BGI Nexus initiative, in partnership with Deep Funding, has launched a $500,000 grant programme for AI and AGI projects that address social and environmental challenges. These projects include environmental regeneration technologies and AI safety monitoring systems.

The funding programme follows a community-driven selection process, where projects are evaluated by BGI community reviewers and through community voting. The winners will be announced in April 2025 and will present their solutions at the BGI Summit and Unconference in Istanbul (May 26-29, 2025).

18th annual AGI conference in Reykjavík

SingularityNET is co-organising the 18th Annual AGI Conference (AGI-25), which will take place from August 10-13, 2025, at Reykjavík University, Iceland. The conference invites researchers, developers, and AI professionals to submit original papers and workshop proposals.

The event will include keynote presentations, research discussions, and award ceremonies, including the Kurzweil Prize for Best AGI Paper, the Springer Prize, and the OpenCog Foundation Best Student Paper Prize. Paper submissions close on April 12, 2025, and workshop proposals on May 3, 2025.

HackIndia 2025: SingularityNET as title sponsor

SingularityNET has been announced as the Title Sponsor for HackIndia 2025, India’s largest Web3 and AI hackathon series. The event will bring together 25,000 developers from 150 universities across 20 cities, culminating in a grand finale in Delhi in September 2025.

With a prize pool of $150,000, HackIndia aims to foster AI and Web3 innovation. SingularityNET will provide mentorship, showcase its MeTTa programming language, and support developers in creating decentralised applications. The first regional hackathon started on February 28, 2025, at St. Joseph’s Institute of Technology in Chennai, with upcoming events in Tamil Nadu, Goa, and Chhattisgarh.

Ambassador program: Strengthening decentralisation and community engagement

SingularityNET’s Ambassador Program continues to play a crucial role in fostering transparency, decentralisation, and community participation within the ecosystem. This initiative enables dedicated community members to represent SingularityNET at industry events, contribute to strategic discussions, and support the expansion of decentralised AI technologies.

In February 2025, the Ambassador Program achieved several key milestones. Two ambassadors represented SingularityNET at ETHiopia in Addis Ababa (February 15-17), engaging with developers and thought leaders in the Ethereum and Web3 space. 

Preparations are also underway to facilitate ambassador participation at the BGI-25 Summit in Istanbul, further solidifying SingularityNET’s presence in global discussions on beneficial AGI. Additionally, the NuNet team conducted live demonstrations, assisting ambassadors with device onboarding onto the NuNet testnet, enhancing decentralised computing capabilities.

The program also continues to support community-driven initiatives through the R&D Guild, which is set to open its next proposal round for community submissions. Meanwhile, budgetary discussions are ongoing to ensure the program remains aligned with the evolving needs of the ecosystem.

Community members interested in contributing to the Ambassador Program can access the Program’s Archives for updates or watch the weekly Town Hall meetings on YouTube. Those looking to actively participate can join the SingularityNET Discord server and navigate to the How to Join section for more information.
