What does the hackathon article mean by “the groundwork for decentralized AI is no longer theoretical”?

FAQ
1

That’s a bold claim. Based on the hackathon, what exactly counts as “groundwork” here?

When the article says the groundwork is no longer theoretical, it’s referring to the actual code and agents that came out of the hackathon. Specifically:

  • Multiple projects are already running on Agentverse as discoverable agents

  • They use Fetcher.ai + SingularityNET components in production-like ways: real reasoning, data sources, and user-facing interfaces

  • These agents are composable: in theory, one project’s agent can be used or extended by another

In other words, instead of just whitepapers about “agent economies,” the hackathon produced working, interconnected systems that form a cross-chain, agent-first ecosystem under the ASI Alliance umbrella.
