SENT @SentientAGI Sentient aims to build an open AGI economy, using blockchain to ensure model ownership, revenue distribution, and governance. In July 2024, it received a seed round of 85 million yuan with a valuation of approximately 1.2 billion yuan, led by Framework, Founders Fund, and Pantera. The team gathers well-known members such as Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, Pramod Viswanath, professor at Princeton, and Himanshu Tyagi, professor at IISc. The SENT token model has not yet been officially announced, but the white paper plans for it to undertake governance, staking, and revenue sharing functions; The community expects FDV to reach $1.5-3 billion and TGE to have a circulating market value of $150-750 million. Kaito 'Yap to Earn' points and Builder Grant are currently the two main airdrop acquisition paths. Overall, Sentient stands out in terms of fundamentals in the "decentralized AI Layer 1" race, but also faces risks such as overvaluation and strong competition. 1、 Fundamentals The project objective is to make the model belong to the community rather than the big company through on chain calling and profit sharing. Positioning: Open source AI research organization+blockchain protocol, committed to building an Open AGI Economy, with core components including GRID: Open intelligent network, aggregating 110+models/agents/datasets ROMA: Recursive Meta Proxy Framework, SEAL-0 benchmark score 45.6%, surpassing Gemini 2.5 Pro (19.8%) OML standards: Open, Monetizable, Loyal, using fingerprint technology to verify model ownership Narrative hotspots: Decentralized AI Economy The loyalty model owned by the community Multi agent collaboration (ROMA) surpasses closed large-scale models 2、 Financing and Endorsement Known as one of the largest AI crypto seed rounds in history, it received a seed round of 85 million yuan in July 2024, valued at approximately 1.2 billion yuan. It was led by Framework, Founders Fund, and Pantera, and involved 32 companies including Arrington, Spartan, and Delphi. There are two strong endorsements: AWS: Open AGI Summit Official Cloud Collaboration Polygon: Co founder Sandeep directly participates and provides L2 resources 3、 Founder/Team Himanshu Tyagi: Professor at IISc, co-founder of Privacy Computing Expert, responsible for data security and decentralized algorithms Sandeep Nailwal: Co founder of Polygon, Blockchain Strategy and Ecological Expansion Pramod Viswanath: Princeton professor, information theorist, theoretical and security framework (model fingerprinting, anti attack) Sewong Oh: Professor at Huazhong University, Research on Reasoning and Multi Agent Collaboration The team consists of 70%+PhDMeta/Google/Coinbase/IIT and 47 other members, covering LLM, systems engineering, and cryptocurrency economics. 4、 Token Economy It has not been officially announced yet. The white paper mentions that tokens have governance, staking, and incentive functions. It is expected that the initial circulation will be 10-20%, and the FDV is conservatively estimated to be over 1 billion. 5、 Pre sale/Airdrop No public offering has been announced. The airdrop should have three parts: Kaito Mindshare mechanism • Use Yap and Discord teaching to earn points Phase 1 has completed the snapshot, and Phase 2 will continue to open for supplementary recording Expected total amount of 5-10% to be released linearly through integration Builder Grant: 1 million dollar prize pool for developing Sentient Chat Agent; Reserve quota for high-quality contributors. Using/testing airdrops: Sentient Chat private testing, Open AGI Summit participation NFT, Dobby holders are all considered potential snapshots by the community. 6、 Overall rating Overall rating: 8/10 advantage Technical barriers: OML+ROMA form a complete chain from ownership verification, multi-agent collaboration, and revenue distribution. • Celebrity background: Polygon founder and two top scholars, combining Web3 resources and academic depth. • Abundant funding: The $85 million seed round provides a 2-3 year track for ongoing research and ecological subsidies. Risk: High FDV and high selling pressure (of course, it is also a short selling opportunity) @KaitoAI kaitoyap Yaps
