AI Developer

SingularityNET (SNET) is a platform that allows developers to publish and monetize their AI services through blockchain. Any user across the internet can access these services. An internal token - ASI (FET), is used for payment.

Platform Capabilities ​

The platform covers a wide range of services in the field of AI and machine learning:

Supported Service Types ​

  • Model inference and training - Deploy pre-trained models or offer training services
  • Image and video processing - Computer vision, object detection, image generation
  • Speech and text analysis - NLP, translation, sentiment analysis, speech recognition
  • Time series analysis - Predictive analytics, forecasting, anomaly detection
  • Biological data processing - Genomics, proteomics, medical imaging analysis
  • Network analytics - Graph analysis, social network analysis, recommendation systems

Service Complexity Range ​

You can offer anything from:

  • Simple algorithms - Pathfinding, sorting, optimization algorithms
  • Industry-specific solutions - Complete end-to-end products for healthcare, finance, logistics
  • Standalone AI applications - Full-featured applications with AI at their core
  • Autonomous AI agents - Services that can interact with other platform services

Architecture Overview ​

SingularityNET consists of several key components that ensure its operation:

Core Design Principles ​

  • Blockchain Independence - Minimizing dependency on specific blockchains like Ethereum to increase speed and reduce costs
  • Abstraction Layer - Universal approach to integrating AI services, simplifying the publishing and usage process
  • Regulatory Compliance - Support for regulatory requirements without sacrificing platform openness

Technical Infrastructure ​

  • Smart Contracts - Handle service registration, payments, and governance
  • Decentralized Storage - IPFS and Filecoin for metadata and service definitions
  • Daemon Service - Manages service calls, payments, and authentication
  • Multi-Party Escrow - Secure payment channels for efficient transactions

Developer Benefits ​

Simplicity and Ease of Use ​

The platform is designed to be developer-friendly:

  • Universal Tool - The Daemon handles all complex operations
  • Comprehensive SDKs - Available for Python, JavaScript, and Java
  • Clear Documentation - Step-by-step guides for every stage of development
  • Testing Environment - Sepolia testnet for risk-free experimentation

Scalability and Performance ​

Your services can handle enterprise-level demands:

  • High throughput - Efficient request handling through optimized daemon architecture
  • Load balancing - Built-in support for distributed service deployment
  • State management - ETCD for reliable state persistence across instances
  • Performance monitoring - Built-in metrics and logging capabilities

Openness and Decentralization ​

True decentralization with practical benefits:

  • No vendor lock-in - Services remain under your complete control
  • Transparent pricing - Set your own pricing models and payment terms
  • Global accessibility - Reach users worldwide without intermediaries
  • Interoperability - Services can interact with each other seamlessly

Getting Started Guide ​

Prerequisites ​

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  1. AI Service - A working AI model or service ready for deployment
  2. Technical Requirements:
    • Python 3.10+ or compatible runtime for your service
    • Protocol Buffer definitions for your service API
    • Server or VM with public IP/domain
  3. Blockchain Requirements:
    • Ethereum wallet (MetaMask recommended)
    • Small amount of ETH for gas fees (~0.01 ETH)

Quick Start Steps ​

  1. Prepare Your Service - Follow the preparation guide
  2. Register on Publisher Portal - Create your account at publisher.singularitynet.io
  3. Deploy Infrastructure - Set up Daemon and ETCD following our guides
  4. Publish Your Service - Use Publisher Portal or CLI/TUI for publishing
  5. Test and Verify - Ensure your service works correctly on testnet first

Publishing Options ​

Best for developers who want marketplace visibility:

  • Visual interface - User-friendly web-based publishing
  • Marketplace listing - Automatic inclusion in AI Marketplace
  • UI support - Option to add custom UI for your service
  • Analytics - Built-in usage statistics and monitoring

CLI/TUI Publishing ​

Best for programmatic deployment and automation:

  • Automation-friendly - Scriptable deployment process
  • Direct control - Fine-grained configuration options
  • SDK-only services - Perfect for B2B integrations
  • CI/CD integration - Easily integrate with deployment pipelines

Monetization Models ​

Pricing Strategies ​

Choose the pricing model that fits your service:

  • Pay-per-call - Charge for each API call
  • Tiered pricing - Different rates for different service levels
  • Method-specific pricing - Vary prices based on complexity
  • Free tier - Offer trial calls to attract users

Payment Processing ​

Efficient and secure payment handling:

  • ASI (FET) tokens - Native platform currency
