Introduction
The advent of a new financial model known as DeFi (Decentralised Finance)
marked a paradigm shift, introducing permissionless, onchain financial services
freely available to all who had access to the internet. However, this innovation came
with inherent risks, for example, a significant amount of DeFi tokens lacked tangible
backing. This resulted in extreme price volatility, speculative bubbles, and
challenges in fundamental valuations.
This new business model brings onchain both tangible and intangible RWAs,
spanning from GPUs and Data Centres to APIs and Cloud Services.
AI-Fi taps into the vast potential of the AI economy by tokenising a diverse range of
AI-related assets, creating opportunities for global markets to exchange and
monetise these assets. Thanks to tokenisation the ownership and liquidity for
datasets, compute power, and other AI-related assets are enhanced, opening new
onchain markets in the rapidly expanding AI sector. Moreover, it bridges the gap
between artificial intelligence development and decentralised finance, allowing for
unprecedented monetisation opportunities.
Tokenisation sees the perfect marriage of new and traditional assets with the
blockchain, offering a myriad of potential benefits whilst adapting to a new
emerging technology that is set to change the business landscape once more.

Background
Much like the transformative impact of the internet, tokenisation has the capacity to
revolutionise the way we perceive and engage with assets, ushering in a new era of
business models. This, in the finance circles, has been defined as a ‘killer use case’
by the likes of Citigroup, and is speculated to be the gateway to mass adoption of
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, with BlackRock further highlighting
this as the ‘fastest-growing tech in years’, outpacing historical adoption rates of
major innovations like the internet and mobile phones.
Thus, we are proposing the merger where the combined talents, technologies, and
resources of Cogito Finance, SingularityDAO, and SelfKey, create a powerhouse
both in the tokenisation and AI-powered financial sector: Singularity Finance.

Merger
The Merger
The three pioneering companies, SingularityDAO, Cogito Finance, and SelfKey, aim
to join forces, combining their complementary technologies with the aim to launch
an EVM Layer-2 designed to tokenise and integrate critical segments of the AI
economy.
Founders of all three organisations jointly envision a future where blockchain and
decentralised AI work together to provide secure, compliant, and transparent
financial opportunities to the masses: AI-Fi.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 5/57

AI-Fi will drive the next wave of innovation in both decentralised AI and DeFi by
democratising access to the AI economy and providing high quality RWA-backed
yield and assets to network participants.
The new entity born from the merging of Cogito Finance, SingularityDAO, and
SelfKey will be known as Singularity Finance, and will be committed to
democratising access to the global AI economy by:
This merger will lead to combining talents, technologies, and resources of these
three companies, forming a formidable entity within the AI-powered finance sector.
Each entity's unique strengths will play a vital role in the post-merger development
and success of Singularity Finance.

Market Opportunity
"Generative AI is the largest TAM expansion of software and hardware that we've
seen in several decades."
— Jensen Huang, President and CEO of Nvidia- Q3 2024 earnings call
Over the last few years artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into a transformative
force having the potential to disrupt industries and economies around the world.
The rise of generative AI models have impacted almost every sector with
organisations rapidly adapting to the change to enhance their operational
efficiency.
AI's impact extends beyond current operations, driving innovation and the creation
of new markets. Whether it is financial services, healthcare, manufacturing or
infrastructure, AI is boosting efficiency, unlocking new revenue opportunities
thereby accelerating growth. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC),
AI business spending and adoption will have a cumulative global economic impact
of $19.6 trillion through 2030.
This expected demand underscores the need for hardware and energy in
supporting AI advancements. The explosive growth in compute demand can be
seen in the performance of Nvidia, a leader in AI hardware and software solutions,
which has seen its quarterly data centre revenue growing 154% yoy to $26b
accounting for 86% of its total revenue for the quarter. The guidance for further
growth clearly suggests that the surge in demand is not going to slow down
anytime soon.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 7/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Despite the substantial growth and opportunities presented by AI, the current
market landscape poses significant challenges:
• High Entry Barriers: Substantial capital investment and technical expertise are
required to participate in the AI market leaving smaller organisations on the
sidelines.
• Concentration of Capital: With large corporations such as Nvidia attracting a
major chunk of the capital, smaller players do not have the resources to take
part in this technological revolution.
• Limited opportunity: Due to the nascent stage of this technology, there is a lack
of adequate knowledge and information which, in turn, has kept the wider
public away from this significant growth opportunity.

Hardware Layer
The hardware layer which serves as one of the backbones of AI, providing the
essential processing power needed for inference and training of AI models.
Data centres consist of a bespoke set up of land, energy sources, and hardware
assets such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units
(CPUs) to fulfil the required computation demand. The recent exponential increase
in demand for compute has opened a lucrative yield-generation opportunity in the
area. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) members SingularityNET and
Fetch.ai are both investing heavily in data centres, whilst Cudos provides a
decentralised marketplace for AI compute for data centres worldwide to access
compute on the blockchain
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 11/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Platforms
Platforms are cloud services that provide access to hardware and development
tools. In the Web2 space, we see various providers such as Amazon AWS,
Microsoft Azure, Google GCP etc., that allow users to leverage their platform to
access compute power and run their applications. In the Web3 space, a more
decentralised approach is fast emerging as the more accessible and cost-effective
alternative.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 12/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Foundation Models
and Knowledge Graphs
Foundation models are large-scale, pre-trained AI models, trained on a large set of
data, that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks. They significantly reduce
development time and resources by providing a robust general purpose model for
building applications. Open AI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, Facebook's Llama etc. are
a few examples of Web2 LLM models. However, these models are not only trained
on text but also extend to audio and images, providing an opportunity to build a
truly multimodal application. In the Web3 space, SingularityNET is at the forefront
of building foundation models with OpenCog Hyperon being a leading example of a
fully decentralised AI framework being developed within the blockchain space.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 13/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Model Hubs
Model hubs are platforms for developers to share, discover, and access AI models,
promoting collaboration and accelerating AI development. Hugging Face is one of
the biggest platforms for foundational models. However, we also see similar
platforms in the Web3 space, with SingulairtyNET's AI marketplace and Fetch.ai’s
AgentVerse which allow developers to publish their models and services for other
users to consume.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 14/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Applications
Applications are AI-powered software solutions that deliver value to end-users.
They leverage foundation models and platforms to perform data analysis,
automation, and decision support tasks.
This layer caters to the end users and comprises applications and software
solutions that deliver direct value to consumers. These applications leverage AI
models and platforms to provide users with a scalable and reliable service. With the
rise of Gen AI, we have seen significant applications of these services in various
sectors ranging from healthcare to finance. Even traditional human-reliant services
like call centres are moving towards AI-driven communication. In the Web3 space,
Fetch has been a leading figure in the area with its agent framework. We also see a
few players, such as SingularityDAO, NumerAI, and Wisdomise, in the DeFi space.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 15/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Services
This layer includes professional services, consulting, and support for integrating AI
into business operations. Consulting services provide core support to traditional
organisations, allowing them to adopt AI or turn around their businesses. In the
Web3 ecosystem, we see similar models, such as the Singularity Venture Hub
(SVH) providing expert services to Web2 and Web3 companies. Moreover,
SingularityNET and Fetch.ai also provide specialised services for companies to
make them AI-ready.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 16/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
Over the years, we have seen the rise of Data unions such as Swash and Streamr
that reward users for providing data and helping create the data economy. Ocean
Protocol, for example, provides a platform for such providers/unions to operate
effectively. They can then sell the data on the marketplace. Ocean’s robust
framework ensures that the data follows the required laws of the operating
countries. The users providing the data would be rewarded via a part of the fee
generated by consumers of the data.

AI-Centric dApp
AI-Centric dApp
The Singularity Finance (d)Apps are built with a keen focus on enabling the
onboarding of the next wave of the AI economy, tackling the core challenges faced
by existing Web3. Singularity Finance will provide key solutions to resolve
challenges such as complex onboarding, fragmented liquidity, difficulty in fiat
on/offramp etc. and enable deep integration of decentralised finance (DeFi)
applications with the AI ecosystem.
The platform will offer a seamless and intuitive interface to manage and trade
various positions. Integrated with onchain account abstraction, the Layer-2 network
will abstract away the complexity of key management. Moreover, users will be able
to track and manage their positions in real-time across protocols, supported by AI-
driven insights and recommendations.
Singularity Finance provides a robust suite of DeFi services, including staking and
yield farming services, where users can earn rewards by staking their SFI tokens or
providing liquidity to AI asset pools. Additionally, lending and borrowing product
offerings will enable users to leverage their tokenised AI assets as collateral,
unlocking liquidity without the need to liquidate their holdings.
Enhanced compliance and security are also ensured through onchain identity
verification and rigorously audited smart contracts and platform codebase.
Singularity Finance allows its users to benefit from a secure, cost-effective, and
user-friendly DeFi ecosystem built from the ground up to serve the unique needs of
the incoming AI-Fi revolution.

Tokenisation Framework
Singularity Finance provides a robust and scalable framework to support
institutions in transitioning real-world assets and AI-related assets onto the
blockchain.
Singularity Finance will leverage Cogito’s existing legal framework to tokenise AI-
related financial assets as it already boasts a Segregated Portfolio Company which
allows Singularity Finance to launch several tokenised funds. This is in addition to
TFUND, the first of Cogito’s suite of products, which is backed by U.S. Treasury
Bills.
The tokenisation framework supports a wide variety of assets and use cases
across the AI economy.

Identity Solutions
With SelfKey, Singularity Finance already has a robust identity solution in place that
allows individuals to maintain their identity on the blockchain. The L2 will feature
onchain user identities, allowing protocols and RWA projects to build permissioned
as well as non-permissioned products on the same chain, with permissioned
products relying on them thus remaining compliant with AML regulations.
Identities will include the following due diligence checks which can be periodically
refreshed:
• KYC: Used for onboarding individuals, these checks usually require the user's
PII such as name, date of birth, passport, and, in some cases, selfie or liveness
checks.
• KYB: Used for onboarding business and institutions. These checks are more
comprehensive and depend on the organisational structure and jurisdiction.
Comprehensive checks might involve checking address, organisation charts,
and beneficial owners.
• Wallet Screening: This includes AML (anti-money laundering), TF (terrorist
financing), and sanctions checks on wallet addresses. Every address has a risk
associated based on its previous transaction history.
Singularity Finance will partner with various existing KYC solutions to build a
comprehensive library of compatible third party vendors, making user onboarding
as flexible as possible. Users that have verified their identity onchain will be able to
use their existing KYC data seamlessly across apps.

On/Off Ramps
Singularity Finance understands that converting fiat to crypto and vice versa is one
of the biggest challenges faced by interested parties when onboarding to any
blockchain ecosystem. Cogito has an existing infrastructure in place for fiat on/off
ramp solutions which allows acquisition and redemption of tokens in fiat and
crypto. This is achieved through partnerships with licensed third parties as well as
the use of the fund’s own bank account. Singularity Finance will expand the fiat on
and off ramp solutions through partnerships to deliver an enhanced experience to
its users.

bases. This approach greatly reduces associated risks while increasing efficiency
and opportunity for all the involved parties.
Tokenised data centres serve as a foundational asset within the AI-Fi ecosystem,
offering several strategic advantages:
• Capital for Acceleration: Operators can raise funds for facility expansion and
upgrade by issuing tokens that represent a portion of the revenue generated by
the data centre.
• Fractional Ownership: tokenisation allows for fractional ownership of large data
centres. This gives retail users and small entities an opportunity to take part in
the growth of the AI economy which has traditionally been limited to the big
institutions.
• Revenue Participation: Participants can tap into the steady income generated
by these data centres and the AI compute services run on them, receiving
reliable yield based on the performance of the data centre.
• Enhanced Liquidity: Tokens can be traded without affecting the operation of
the data centre, providing flexibility and liquidity in a highly streamlined and
efficient manner.

In the initial phase the SFI token would be available on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
The token conversion rates for the migration to SFI are as follows:
Conversion Methodology
• The 200 DMA (daily moving average) of token prices was used to define the
conversion ratios. This was done in order to remove any short term price
volatility impacting the final ratios of conversion.
• The max supply of each token was used to set the final weights of each token in
the merger.
• The ratios and the final set prices are disclosed with the merger announcement
in order to avoid market manipulation.

31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
proposed merger. On successful passing of the vote, the merger portal for
migrating SDAO, CGV, and KEY would be open to the community. Details related to
the aforementioned process will be provided in due course.
In order to fund further development and provide incentives to early developers and
users there will be an additional token supply of 2,507,476,288.3 (100.60% of initial
supply) minted. These tokens would be minted as per the vesting schedule defined
later in the litepaper. A few of the areas where the newly minted tokens would be
used for incentivisation are:
Ecosystem incentives will be used to support the growth of the network and
facilitate collaboration between various network participants.
a. Community Incentives
A part of the incentives would be used to support developers, who build dApps,
contracts, AI services/agents on the Layer2. Some of the initiatives would be to
organise bounty programs, gas sponsorship/refund for dApps etc. to attract users
and drive adoption. Furthermore, community outreach initiatives such as referral
programs, ambassador programs would be set up to create a loyal and active base
of community members.
b. Network Incentives
Token holders who participate in securing the network either via running Singularity
Finance nodes or delegating to other node runners would be rewarded with SFI
tokens. These incentives will allow the stakers to keep their tokens staked,
enhancing the network security.
c. Liquidity incentives
SFI tokens will also be used as incentives to attract liquidy to Layer-2. A part of the
additional token supply would be used to jumpstart the DeFi activity on the chain.
For example: SFI tokens would be rewarded as incentives to users who supply
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 41/57
31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
assets to the liquidity pools. This enhanced liquidity would lead to better pricing as
well as attract better market participants, supporting the network growth.
This will result in a total SFI supply of 5,000,000,000 tokens after additional mint.
https://docs.singularityfinance.ai/~gitbook/pdf 42/57

Token Utility
Some of the key utilities of the SFI token are:
Network security: SFI tokens are fundamental to the security and integrity of the
network. Token holders can stake their SFI tokens to participate in running the
nodes thereby securing the Layer-2 infrastructure.
Gas Token: SFI tokens will be the native token used to pay for gas fees on the L2
network. Every transaction/smart contract execution gas fee will be paid in SFI
tokens.
Transaction Fee: Singularity Finance would also deploy a number of protocols and
dApps on the Singularity Finance L2 such as: SFI Vaults, Dex, and other AI services.
A portion of the fee charged by these services and dApps would be distributed
back to the SFI token holders as rewards and 40% of the fee would be burned.
Protocol Fee distribution: A portion of the fees generated by the tokenised assets,
vaults and other deployed protocols will be redistributed back to SFI stakers as
rewards.

31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
SFI Nodes
To create a secure Layer-2 network focused on tokenising AI assets, Singularity
Finance will be launching its network of decentralised node operators. These nodes
are integral to the functionality of our platform, performing specialised tasks that go
beyond traditional validation. Nodes will provide much needed security and
decentralisation to the network as they provide an additional layer of oversight
thereby maintaining the integrity of the network.
1. Staking Rewards: Node operators will earn rewards by staking SFI tokens and
running the nodes. These rewards will be distributed based on their contribution
to the network, such as uptime, number of transactions processed or the
number of tokens staked.
2. Share of Transaction Fee: As the network matures, the network will see a
growth on the number of transactions occurring on the chain. Node operators
will also earn part of the transaction fee generated by the network.
3. Delegated Staking: Users who cannot run their own nodes will be able to
delegate to the available node operators. This allows pooling of resources
leading to increase in staking power and greater rewards. A portion of the
rewards would be distributed back to the delegators
4. Governance Participation: Node operators and delegators will be able
participate in governance decisions based on the token staked or contribution
to the network, allowing them to influence the future direction of the network.

31/10/2024, 22:37 Singularity Finance
become fully accessible after the completion of the vesting period, allowing
operators to realise the full benefits of their participation.
More information on the timelines and mechanism would be released with technical
details of the L2 network.
