What is the project about? Hydranet is the first fully decentralized trading network that combines the speed and cost-efficiency of centralized exchanges, while preserving the self-custody and security of DeFi. Leveraging off-chain protocols such as the Lightning Network for Bitcoin and Hydranet’s Lithium Network for EVM and smart contract-based blockchains, Hydranet offers trustless, peer-to-peer trading with instant trade confirmations and zero network fees, even when trading between different blockchains. Using Hydranet, traders no longer need to compromise on security, scalability, and decentralization - they get it all! Hydranet is designed for everyone, offering multiple trading interfaces. Casual traders can use recognizable interfaces similar to popular DEXs for a simplified one-click trading experience, while experienced traders can opt for an order book interface or API, providing greater flexibility for advanced trading strategies. Beyond its key features - instant trades, zero network fees, and cross-chain trading - Hydranet introduces several innovations: the Lithium protocol (a state channel protocol for smart contract-based blockchains akin to the Lightning Network), the first-ever Lightning (and Lithium) off-chain nodes running directly in a browser environment, and an external off-chain signer for secure signatures of off-chain transactions. Read more about Hydranet on their documentation page: What makes your project unique? Hydranet offers an entirely new approach to solving the blockchain trilemma of security, scalability, and decentralization. While other decentralized projects turn to sidechains to address scalability, Hydranet takes a different route by using off-chain protocols that run on top of established blockchains. Sidechains often lead to issues in DeFi, such as liquidity fragmentation and increased ecosystem complexity. By focusing on off-chain protocols, Hydranet allows original blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to scale without sacrificing liquidity, decentralization, or security. Hydranet doesn’t just enhance the scalability of these blockchains, it also connects them, enabling seamless cross-chain trading with full control, instant confirmations, and zero network fees! What can your coin/token be used for? HDN is the native token of the Hydranet Network and plays a central role in the network’s operation and governance. It enables community members to actively participate in maintaining and securing the decentralized infrastructure that powers Hydranet’s off-chain DEX. By locking HDN as collateral, token holders can operate Titans or Guardians - two key node roles in the Hydranet Network. Titans facilitate the trading process by hosting the off-chain order book and matching trades, while Guardians ensure network integrity by monitoring behavior and enforcing protocol rules. Both roles are essential to the trustless, decentralized operation of the network, and are rewarded for their contributions.

SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The business value of AI is becoming clearer each day; however, there’s a significant gap between the people developing AI tools (researchers and academics) and the businesses that want to use them. Most organizations need a more customized solution than what a single AI project can offer, and research projects oftentimes have trouble accessing a large enough data set to build effective machine learning. SingularityNET closes these gaps. The long-term vision of the SingulairtyNET team is to build a network of complex AI Agent interactions primarily using resources from the OpenCog Foundation. To look at this further, let’s check out their in-house built humanoid robot, Sophia. Sophia uses a combination of AI Agents that range from natural language processing to physical motor controls to operate. You tell Sophia to summarize a video that’s embedded in a webpage. To do this, Sophia sends a request to Agent A. Through its AI, Agent A knows that Agent B specializes in analyzing and transcribing video while Agent C specializes in summarizing text. Agent A pays Agent B and Agent C to perform these tasks while Sophia pays Agent A to coordinate. All the while, each Agent has updated their own AI with the network information gained from these tasks and combines it with their previous experiences and knowledge. Therefore, the collective AI of the system grows at a faster rate than any individual Agent. SingularityNET wants to build a decentralized protocol for creators and users of AI to interact with each other, to not only help individual projects benefit by leveraging the strengths of other AI systems that might handle certain tasks better, but ultimately to develop SingularityNET into a functioning AI system itself, with nodes on the network making their own decisions about how to connect services and proactively provide solutions to academic and business problems. Tokenizing the network creates an AI marketplace where AI developers and sellers can not only link with others who might assist in building more robust AI solutions, but also allow AI services and products to be bought and sold, creating revenue and establishing price points where none have existed before. The SingularityNET team boasts 50+ AI developers and 10+ PhDs. Dr. Ben Goertzel leads the group as CEO and Chief Scientist. He’s also the Chairman of the OpenCog Foundation and the Artificial General Intelligence Society, as well as the Chief Scientist at Hanson Robotics, the partner company helping bring SingularityNET to life. Dr. David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, serves as the Robotics Lead. Most famously, Hanson Robotics built Sophia, the most expressive humanoid robot to date. Sophia is also a proud member of the SingularityNET team. The team recently released the alpha version of the platform and is planning on launching a public beta sometime in the middle of 2018.
