SingularityDAO, Cogito Finance, and SelfKey Launch EVM Layer-2 via Strategic Token Merger for Tokenizing RWAs

Singularity Finance, an EVM Layer-2 for tokenizing the Real World Assets (RWA) of the AI economy, will be launched via a strategic token merger announced by SingularityDAO, Cogito Finance, and SelfKey.

Web3 will be accelerated by a platform optimized for AI tokenization that is powered by the combination of the three complimentary technologies. By integrating AI assets like GPUs into already-existing DeFi apps and tokenizing them, new onchain primitives will be created, opening up more effective financing sources for AI-driven developments.

With the help of SelfKey’s compliant identity solution, Singularity Finance will leverage Cogito’s tokenization framework to put RWAs onchain, establishing decentralized markets in which users may readily engage. Using SingularityDAO’s AI-driven DynaVaults and other technologies, Singularity’s Layer-2 will provide AI-powered financial tools services that improve and automate analysis, portfolio, and risk management.

Cogito Finance CEO Cloris Chen said:

“The rapid growth of the AI sector is creating significant opportunities for both institutions and retail participants. However, barriers still exist on both the demand and supply sides, limiting broader participation in the AI economy. By developing our own Layer-2 solution democratising AI-Fi, we can overcome these challenges and remain agile in adapting to an evolving regulatory landscape.”

SingularityDAO co-founder Mario Casiraghi added:

“We stand at the intersection of AI and DeFi, where much of the innovation currently taking place within the Web3 space is occurring. AI-Fi harnesses the immense potential of the AI economy by tokenising the AI value chain, creating unprecedented opportunities to access, exchange and monetise these assets.”

The three existing tokens—SDAO, CGV, and KEY—will be combined into a single token, SFI, which will function as Singularity Finance’s network token as part of the merger. With the mainnet release scheduled for the first half of 2025, the SFI token will first be accessible on Ethereum and BNB Chain. The conversion ratios between SDAO, CGV, and KEY will be as follows:

  • At a ratio of 1:80.353 (1 SDAO = 80.353 SFI), SDAO migrates to SFI.
  • 1:10.890 is the ratio of CGV migration to SFI (1 CGV = 10.890 SFI).
  • Migration of KEY to SFI at a 1:1 ratio (1 KEY = 1 SFI).

The 200-day moving average of each token up to August 20, 2024, is the basis for pricing.

A leadership council for Singularity Finance will be formed when the merger is finalized to supervise and direct the activities of the combined financial ecosystem. Mario Casiraghi, CFO of SingularityNET and Co-Founder of SingularityDAO; Cloris Chen, CEO of Cogito Finance; and Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, will serve as the council’s leaders. The community will have the chance to vote in a governance vote after the merger announcement, which will take place from October 21 to October 31.

The merger will solve the major issues with ownership and accessibility to AI-related revenues and assets that are now present. Users will be able to access yield prospects from compute and AI agents by using SFI-compliant tokenization infrastructure. Additionally, AI market players will be able to create additional liquidity for their assets, increasing the accessibility of high-quality yield supported by AI and hardware. Through its Layer 2—which includes integrated legal frameworks, distribution channels, a marketplace, and AI-powered asset management tools—Singularity Finance will address these issues.
