SingularityNET Enters Strategic Partnership With Lighthouse to Elevate Data Storage Capabilities
In a landmark day for the Filecoin ecosystem, a partnership has just been formed that is poised to redefine the landscape of decentralized data storage. SingularityNET, a leading AI platform developer and a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance based in Zug, Switzerland, has come together with Lighthouse, a key Filecoin ecosystem integrator, to leverage Lighthouse’s state-of-the-art technology and enhance the secure, reliable, decentralized data storage of SingularityNET’s data.
Lighthouse, a robust platform built on IPFS and Filecoin, offers innovative features such as perpetual storage, encryption, custom IPFS gateways, and multi-chain smart contracts. Bringing these features to their partnership with SingularityNET allows the leading AI platform developer to access cutting-edge decentralized storage solutions, ensuring the most secure and efficient data management possible to date.
By utilizing Filecoin’s storage and its incentive system, Lighthouse provides cost-effective storage solutions, ensuring scalability and affordability for the expanding data needs of SingularityNET’s ecosystem. This approach also guarantees long-term, consistent data availability, which will be advantageous for maintaining extensive records in the Knowledge Layer.
The two partners have entered this collaboration with the primary focus of seamlessly integrating SingularityNET’s file storage into Lighthouse’s decentralized infrastructure. As a natural byproduct, this venture is bridging the gap between AI and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) — by demonstrating the combined values of AI and DePIN.
Lighthouse’s SDK will be leveraged to achieve efficient data storage — Lighthouse’s encryption and private data storage capabilities will bolster SingularityNET’s data security measures, providing a reliable solution for token-gated applications across various blockchain ecosystems. This SDK abstracts away the complexities of the Filecoin tech stack, allowing data to be sealed into the network with a simple API call. This streamlined process is ideal for rapid development scenarios in the ecosystem.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, commented, “We are thrilled to partner with Lighthouse, a key partner of Filecoin, to enhance the decentralized data storage associated with our blockchain-based AI platform. Data is a key aspect of modern AI, and this partnership addresses a core need we are experiencing as we move to expand the scope of decentralized AI across multiple vertical markets. By integrating with Lighthouse, we are leveraging Filecoin’s technology and DePIN network, setting new standards in data security and scalability for decentralized AI applications.”
Nandit Mehra, Founder of Lighthouse, added, “I am excited about our partnership with SingularityNET. This collaboration combines our onchain storage primitive with their leading AI platform, setting new standards in data security, scalability, and efficiency. Together, we are driving innovation in decentralized AI and DePIN, ensuring top-tier solutions for the evolving digital landscape.”
This strategic collaboration between SingularityNET and Lighthouse represents a step forward in the advancement of decentralized data storage solutions and their intersection with decentralized AI. It will promote the use of decentralized AI in DePIN-intersected initiatives, maximizing the reach and impact within the communities and ecosystems of both networks. By combining SingularityNET’s expertise in artificial intelligence with Lighthouse’s innovative storage technology, the two organizations can work together to set new standards for secure, scalable, and cost-effective data management.
About SingularityNET
SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country. The SingularityNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. Our core platform and AI teams are further complemented by specialized teams devoted to application areas such as finance, robotics, biomedical AI, media, arts and entertainment.
About Lighthouse
Lighthouse is a perpetual file storage protocol that allows you to pay once for your files and store them long-term. The aim is to move users from a rent-based cost model where they rent their files on cloud storage to a perpetual storage model. It is built on IPFS and Filecoin, with smart contracts to be deployed on multiple chains like FVM, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, etc. It uses the miner network and storage capacity of the Filecoin network and IPFS content-addressing system. It is dedicated to providing secure, scalable, and cost-effective storage options, supporting a wide range of applications across various blockchain ecosystems.
