SingularityNET<\/a><\/strong>, a decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) network that lets anyone create, share, and monetize AI services at scale, has announced its team-up with Input Output HK (IOHK<\/a>)<\/strong>, the company driving forward the engineering and development of the Cardano blockchain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the reports, SingularityNET is seriously considering a migration from Ethereum to Cardano.<\/strong> Although, the final decision has not yet been made.<\/p>\n Ibby Benali, Manager & Data Protection Officer at SingularityNET, announced the news in a blog post<\/a> on Wednesday, September 30. Benali said that the IOHK and SingularityNET teams had been seriously discussing what it would take to port a significant portion of the SingularityNET decentralized protocol and platform from Ethereum to Cardano.<\/p>\n The announcement reads:<\/p>\n \u201cThis would involve providing mechanisms for swapping some of the current (Ethereum-based) ERC-20 AGI tokens to Cardano-based AGI tokens, and also creating analogues of the Solidity smart contracts underlying aspects of the SingularityNET platform using Cardano\u2019s new Plutus smart contract language.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The potential move from Ethereum to Cardano is driven by concerns around speed and costs that have been badly affected by demand from the DeFi platforms.<\/p>\n Ethereum 2.0 promises to solve these issues but the timing of the rollout of different aspects of this next-generation Ethereum remains unclear. This led the AI platform to explore alternative blockchain.<\/p>\n But the Cardano is not the only blockchain platform under SingularityNET consideration.<\/strong> In 2019, the company had plans to portion of SingularityNET to a radical TODA-based ledger-less framework. The company has also experimented with NEM blockchain. There have also been interactions with the Algorand team.<\/p>\n According to the company, Cardano suits it best as both platforms share a culture and development style centered on advanced computer science and mathematics.<\/strong> Ibby Benali, about Cardano, said:<\/p>\n \u201cCardano\u2019s consensus mechanisms and associated algorithms and structures comprise a unique mix of rigorous theoretical grounding and practical scalability and have now reached a level of maturity that makes it possible to port a complex blockchain application like SingularityNET to Cardano.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The in-depth discussion between the two teams has already been moving forward even before the formal collaboration announcement. But the final regrading the migration of a part of its services has not yet been made. The matter will be discussed in-depth with the SingularityNET community when the time is right.<\/p>\n SingularityNET is an AI and blockchain project launched by Hong-Kong-based Hanson Robotics<\/a>, the company that made the most sophisticated and expressive robot to date, Sophia. The project is supervised by Hanson Robotics\u2019 Chief Scientist Ben Goertzel. It is a global AI marketplace where AI developers can put up their work, which can be tapped by others to enhance existing robots or build new ones.<\/p>\n
