What exactly did SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance announce at Web Summit Lisbon 2025?

I saw the headline about two launches. In plain terms, what dropped, and why together?

At Web Summit Lisbon on November 13, 2025, the SingularityNET Foundation and ASI Alliance unveiled two linked releases:

  1. ASI:Chain DevNet; an early developer network for a new blockDAG chain built to support huge numbers of autonomous agents.

  2. Hyperon AGI Framework Alpha 1; an open framework for building connected, human-like AI systems (including AGI-oriented agents).

They’re meant to be complementary: Hyperon provides the reasoning “brain space,” and ASI:Chain provides the decentralized backbone to connect those brains securely and openly.
