Where it’s held matters Crypto bought on an exchange typically sits on the exchange’s balance sheet. Institutional custody holds your FET separately a structural difference worth understanding before you buy.
How custody worksBroker vs exchange Buying Fetch.ai through a broker works differently from a self-serve exchange order book. Understanding how the two differ helps you choose the path that fits how you want to buy.

About OTC tradingFetch.aiA plain-English look at what it is, how it works, and what it's used for, so you can understand the asset before you buy.
Fetch.ai (FET) is a Layer-1 blockchain built around the concept of Autonomous Economic Agents (AEAs) software programs with their own cryptographic identity and wallet that can independently search for services, negotiate, and complete transactions with other agents. Founded in 2017 by a Cambridge, UK-based team including Humayun Sheikh (CEO), Toby Simpson, and Thomas Hain, Fetch.ai is built on the Cosmos SDK, giving it Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake consensus and cross-chain interoperability through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
An Autonomous Economic Agent has three core properties: a cryptographic identity tied to a wallet on the Fetch.ai chain, a set of goals defined by its developer, and the ability to communicate with other agents to discover services and execute transactions. Developers build agents using Fetch.ai’s open-source uAgents framework, and agents discover each other through a decentralised directory using the Open Economic Framework protocol. The underlying blockchain handles consensus, settlement, and the ledger of agent transactions. Being built on Cosmos SDK means Fetch.ai inherits IBC interoperability, allowing agents on Fetch.ai to interact with assets and applications on other Cosmos-connected chains. FET is used to pay transaction fees for all agent activity on the network. Validators stake FET to secure the network through Proof-of-Stake, and FET holders can delegate their tokens to validators to earn a share of staking rewards. Validators that act dishonestly or experience extended downtime can have their staked FET slashed as a penalty.
Following the absorption of AGIX and OCEAN supply through the 2024 merger, FET’s maximum supply is approximately 2.72 billion tokens, with circulating supply at approximately 2.26 billion around 83% of the maximum as of mid-2026. FET is used to pay transaction fees across the Fetch.ai network, including fees generated by autonomous agent activity. It is staked by validators to secure the network and by delegators seeking staking rewards, and it carries governance rights for decisions affecting the protocol’s development.
• Autonomous Economic Agents. Software agents with their own identity, goals, and ability to transact independently the core concept underlying Fetch.ai's architecture.
• Cosmos SDK foundation. Fetch.ai is built on Cosmos SDK with Tendermint Proof-of-Stake consensus and IBC interoperability, enabling cross-chain agent interactions.
• Part of the ASI Alliance. FET absorbed SingularityNET's AGIX and Ocean Protocol's OCEAN through a 2024 token merger, becoming the base token of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance.
• Still trades as FET. Despite the ASI branding, the token continues to trade under the FET ticker on major exchanges as of 2026; a full ticker rebrand has not been completed.
• Staking and governance. FET secures the network through delegated Proof-of-Stake and carries governance rights over protocol development decisions.
