Introduction
Fetch.ai is an innovative platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology to create a decentralized digital economy. Here’s a brief introduction to what Fetch.ai is and how it works. Fetch.ai is developing a platform to help the development of an AI enabled decentralized digital economy. Agents are programs that can make choices on their own for individuals, companies, and devices. Agents are the actors, and the heart of Fetch.ai ecosystem.
Fetch.ai is designed to enable autonomous software agents to perform various tasks on behalf of users. These tasks can range from simple data retrieval to complex decision-making processes.
How to Buy some FET tokens
Firstly, you need to acquire some Fetch tokens. If you've already done this, pay attention to where you acquired your Fetch tokens. The cleanest way to do this is to buy on Binance. Because Binance is the only company that migrated the Fetch.ai token from ERC-20 to their native chain on Cosmos. You can only stake FET on their Native chain. You cannot stake ERC-20 tokens anymore.
NOTE; If you buy tokens from anywhere else (i.e. Coinbase), they will be ERC-20 tokens. Do NOT send these tokens to your Fetch wallet because they are incompatible and will likely result in a loss of funds.
Install a Fetch Compatible wallet and get your Fetch Wallet Address
You'll need to download a wallet that can stake your FET tokens. We chose the Fetch Wallet listed on Fetch.ai's website, but other options include Keplr and Cosmostation. Note that Fetch's wallet is built by Keplr.
Make sure your Fetch wallet is selected on "fetchhub". This is the network for Fetch's ecosystem. Your wallet address will start with "fetch" and that's how you'll know you're on the right network.
