The $SFI token is already available for trading on MEXC, and as of February 19, it has also been listed on Gate.io, allowing traders to get their hands on the token that will provide the gateway to the Singularity Finance ecosystem – and it’s one that has a lot of moving parts. The new $SFI token was issued following the merger of SingularityDAO (SDAO), Cogito Finance (CGV), and SelfKey (KEY), with a migration currently in place for token holders. But it’s much more than merely a new ticker: it’s a new L2 that draws upon the strengths of the three partners who are now working together as Singularity Finance to tokenize the AI economy.

It’s been described by Singularity Finance as “the financial backbone for AI at scale – bringing HPC usage, data markets, and agent rewards together.” While $SFI will be used for staking on the new EVM Layer 2, there’s a lot more planned for it and for the ecosystem it powers. Singularity Finance will start by leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize yield strategies. Advanced AI-driven tools, developed by SingularityDAO, will help users make intelligent decisions when managing their investments. The AI will come to play a far greater role, however, once tokenized assets such as AI compute are developed on Singularity Finance, enabling users to gain exposure to the upside to this rapidly-growing industry and all the opportunities this brings. As for where $SFI comes into all of this, it doubles as a governance and utility token. While the governance part is self-explanatory, the utility part is still a work in progress but broadly speaking the value of $SFI should grow in line with that of the Singularity Finance ecosystem. The more dapps that are deployed onchain, in other words, the more utility the token will have, and the more value will accrue to $SFI through things like staking and liquidity rewards. Where Next for $SFI? Useful as the Gate.io listing is in supporting token migration and exchange, it’s merely the first milestone on Singularity Finance’s detailed roadmap. It’s an important step, but it’s what comes next that will determine whether its vision of uniting all of AI on a single network can come to pass. The early signs look promising however. Singularity Finance aims to serve as a unified DeFi infrastructure designed to simplify cross-chain liquidity and bring real-world assets onchain. By offering tokenization tools and bridging solutions under one platform, it promises to give DeFi users access to a broad range of assets, including RWAs, with a particular focus on AI. In the here and now, meanwhile, there’s an added incentive for acquiring and staking $SFI, since doing so will unlock multipliers on testnet points. When the Singularity Finance mainnet launches, this leaves scope for potentially significant airdrops from partner projects. That’s the initial use case for $SFI but where Singularity Finance is headed next, there’ll be plenty more surprises in store. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
