Summary

On October 23, Ocean Protocol explained its withdrawal from the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, attributing the decision to SingularityNET and Fetch.ai violating asset control commitments. The disputes included partner-driven token sell-offs and failed Fetch.ai TRNR trades, which contributed to a 93% drop in the merged FET token value. The project emphasized that this decline was primarily due to partner activity rather than Ocean’s departure.
