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Current manufacturing control systems are outdated and difficult to use.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…

Hello Fetch.ai community,

We would like to make an announcement that starting now $FET withdrawals to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) have been enabled on Binance Smart Chain. The key info for BSC users:

1. The token contract address is: 0x031b41e504677879370e9dbcf937283a8691fa7f

2. People can buy BSC-FET on Binance, and Pancakeswap pools have been added for BNB/FET and BUSD/FET.

3. Staking is currently not available for BSC, so users wishing to stake should stay on the Fetch mainnet or Ethereum.

4. We are planning on enabling payments (in BSC FET) for Fetch.ai’s agents on pancakeswap in the near future.

This is an exciting next step in providing interchain agents across all many different blockchain and DeFi protocols.

We are proud to announce to the Fetch.ai community that $FET token is now available for trading on Coinbase Pro.

Starting Today, Monday July 26, transfer FET into your Coinbase Pro account ahead of trading. Support for FET, will generally be available in Coinbase’s supported jurisdictions with certain exceptions as indicated in each asset page here. Trading will begin on or after 9AM Pacific Time (PT) Tuesday July 27, if liquidity conditions are met.

Hello Fetch.ai community!

In light of the ATOMIX program extension and to reassure the community your assets are safe during this planned migration, we are delaying the planned migration as well as the upgrade to Stargate Network.

We are incredibly excited to announce that we are collaborating with Festo and the Manufacturing Analytics Group at the University of Cambridge, Institute of Manufacturing (IfM), to provide research and recommendations to successfully develop a multi-agent system architecture for distributed manufacturing. With the use of our Fetch.ai technology stack, including the Autonomous Economic Agents framework and blockchain in synchronized harmony, our goal is to transform the existing manufacturing control systems, delivering a scalable solution for the 21st century and beyond.

Despite advancements in technology, the manufacturing industry remains rife with challenges and inefficiencies, lowering productivity, utilization, production variety. Distributed Manufacturing…
