Cambridge — Fetch.ai (https://fetch.ai/), a Cambridge-based artificial intelligence lab building an open-access decentralized machine learning network for smart infrastructure, announced today a collaboration with Festo, a leading international manufacturer of pneumatic and electromechanical systems, components, and controls for process and industrial automation.

Current manufacturing control systems are outdated and difficult to use. According to a recent survey by TrendMicro, most manufacturers have reported using outdated operating systems even when there are more secure options on the market.

As its first foray into blockchain, Festo, an over 90-year veteran in the manufacturing sector, is working with Fetch.ai to develop a decentralized…

Fetch.ai is launching the second MTLX distribution program dedicated to FET token holders.

250,000 MTLX tokens will be available to those staking FET over a period of three months.

Who is eligible? Current FET holders who have staked and those looking to stake their tokens are eligible to earn MTLX tokens.

How it works:

• Three-Month Duration — the campaign will launch on February 19, 2021, and end on May 19, 2021.
• Generous Rewards — Mettalex will be distributing a staking reward of $2,000,000 in MTLX tokens, averaging to more than $22,200 per day (at the current MTLX price of $8).
• …

With the Mainnet v2.0 around the corner, we are looking for validators to help run the Fetch.ai network. As part of this onboarding process we are encouraging validator partners to join our incentivized test-net.

As part of this programme we want to brief our validator community about what it means to run a validator, where you can get support as well as establish a dedicated community group. As a runner of a validator you play an integral role in maintaining the Fetch.ai network and will be an important voice in the future of the network.

Interested? (We hope so!) please…

Over a period of three months, 750,000 ATMX tokens will be distributed to users staking FET.

The addition of ATMX to the Phoenix staking program will further increase the APY of FET staking. …
