The "united front" of decentralized AI is also beginning to split. Just one year after its establishment, ASI (Artificial Superintelligence), once regarded as the decentralized AI version of OpenAI Alliance, has undergone significant changes. On October 9th, the @ oceanprotocol Foundation announced its official withdrawal, and http://Fetch.ai 、 SingularityNET has completely gone its separate ways. This means that the ASI Alliance, which attempted to create a unified ecosystem through token mergers, has welcomed its first 'runaway'. ASI was established in 2024, consisting of three major AI projects http://Fetch.ai 、 SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol jointly initiated the establishment of a universal AI infrastructure by merging OCEAN and AGIX tokens into FET (later renamed ASI). The plan was hailed as a "milestone" in the field of decentralized AI at the time, but now in just one year, the alliance is showing cracks. Ocean stated in the announcement that the core reason for the exit is to restore independent funding and governance rights. The team hopes to regain control of the development budget and token model, and plans to achieve OCEAN deflation through repurchase and destruction. Industry insiders pointed out that the long-term low price of OCEAN, the intensification of FET inflation, and the concentration of alliance governance are all practical factors that have led to the exit. After the token merger, FET issued over 600 million tokens to absorb OCEAN, resulting in price pressure; However, the OCEAN token is passively locked due to its binding exchange rate, and its market value and brand influence continue to be diluted. From a technical perspective, Ocean focuses on data asset sharing and http://Fetch.ai There is a significant difference in the direction of autonomous agents and the general AI model of SingularityNET. The potential divergence in resource allocation and technological roadmap of the alliance makes Ocean's independence choice more reasonable. After Ocean's exit, the OCEAN price rebounded by over 30% in a single day, while the ASI (FET) token fell by nearly 7%, reflecting the market's repricing of the fundamentals of both. Ocean also announced a repurchase and destruction plan, promising to use a portion of the project's profits to continuously shrink the token supply. With the decrease in circulation and the restart of independent brands, investors generally expect OCEAN to undergo a valuation reassessment. On the other hand, the remaining members of the ASI Alliance http://Fetch.ai 、 SingularityNET and CUDOS emphasize continued collaboration and will focus on the integration of autonomous agents and AI infrastructure. But without the Ocean data puzzle, the alliance's layout in the decentralized data layer is undoubtedly weakened. From alliance to division, the ideal of decentralized AI is facing a real test. How to strike a balance between collaboration and independence will determine whether this field can truly emerge from the shadow of centralized AI giants.
