Understanding the Economics of the Fetch System


Details
Join us for an evening of presentation and discussion. The focus of this event is the Fetch.AI economic model and Agent development, join us to learn about:
*The Fetch.AI economic model and value exchange within the system
*How developers of Autonomous Agents can create value
*How the Useful Proof of Work consensus mechanism creates value
*The incentivisation model for various participants in the Fetch network
---
The Fetch.ai team have built the world’s first adaptive, self-organising ‘smart ledger’. This is the foundation for a next-generation digital world where Autonomous Economic Agents can perform proactive economic activity, powered by a collective intelligence. Fetch is the missing critical infrastructure for tomorrow’s digital economy.
Fetch.ai has already been included in the MOBI consortium of major automotive brands including BMW, Ford, GM and Renault, which is focused on setting standards for distributed ledgers in areas such as vehicle identification and autonomous vehicles.
