What is FET used for in the agent ecosystem (Fetch.ai / ASI)
FET is the economic fuel of autonomous AI agents.
Agents are not chatbots.
They are software entities that analyze, decide, and act autonomously (24/7).
How FET is used
Payment for AI inference (e.g., ASI:One)
Agent-to-agent micropayments
Access to services (data, compute, execution)
Economic incentives to build and provide high-quality agents
- Every useful action has a cost in FET.
- Every service delivered can be priced in FET.
- Real cost of an agent (order of magnitude)
Simple request: ~0.001 – 0.003 FET
Standard analysis: ~0.003 – 0.006 FET
Advanced analysis: ~0.006 – 0.01 FET
👉 Even at scale, these are micropayments.
Concrete example
An agent that:
- analyzes information,
- makes a decision,
- triggers an action,
costs ~0.005 FET per cycle.
10,000 cycles per day ≈ 50 FET per day.
Why this matters for investors
More active agents → more FET consumed
No empty hype: real, repetitive usage
Scalable model: volume over speculation
Aligned with the future: autonomous agent economies
In one sentence
FET is not a “narrative” token.
It is a utility token continuously consumed by working AI agents.
Simple. Efficient. Future-oriented.
