Sentient, as a decentralized protocol focused on open-source AGI (General Artificial Intelligence), has its token SENT as the core driving force of the entire ecosystem. SENT is not just a trading tool, but also a mechanism used to incentivize community contributions, governance, and fund allocation, helping to solve the financing and monetization challenges of open-source AI models. As of November 24, 2025, Sentient's TGE is approaching, and the official tokenomics details have not yet been fully disclosed. However, based on public information and community discussions, we can provide detailed explanations from aspects such as financing background, supply mechanism, allocation speculation, utility, and economic models. The following is based on official blogs, white papers, and community updates. 1. Total supply of basic supply and issuance mechanism: approximately 34.5 billion SENTs. This is the overall upper limit of Sentient's ecosystem, aimed at supporting long-term incentives and community growth, rather than unlimited expansion. Issuance mechanism: Adopting deflationary design, combined with staking emissions and revenue repurchase. The initial circulation volume is expected to be low (10-20% estimated by the community) to avoid market pressure. There are no clear inflation/destruction details, but the white paper emphasizes driving emissions through real use and income. 2. Token allocation Community and Airdrop, expected to reach 40-50%, distributed to early users, contributors, and developers through Discord roles, airdrops, and staking rewards. Early AGI character holders are expected to receive a substantial share (valued at over $100 million). Linear unlocking for 12-24 months, with 10-20% unlocking immediately after TGE. Ecological incentives (GRID participants), expected to be 20-25%, reward data providers, model trainers, and agent developers, supporting the OML framework. Unlock based on contribution milestones, 6-36 months. Team and consultants, expected 15-20%, core contributor share to ensure long-term alignment. Clip 12 months+linear 36 months. VC， Expected 10-15% share for seed round investors. Clip 6-12 months+linear 24-36 months. Foundation/reserve, expected 5-10%, for governance and marketing. Long term lock in, DAO voting control. 3. Token utility SENT's design emphasizes practicality and is embedded in Sentient's core products such as GRID (Decentralized Intelligent Network) and Sentient Chat. Payment and Access: Users use SENT to pay for AI model call fees (e.g. inference requests), which are directly allocated to model contributors, achieving "loyal AI". Staking and Governance: The holder of staking SENT on "artifacts" (such as models, agents, tools) affects resource allocation. You can also participate in DAO voting to decide on protocol upgrades and funding direction. Incentive Contribution: Developers earn SENT rewards by providing data, labels, or optimization algorithms. The OML layer ensures that open source models can be monetized (e.g., digital signatures protect copyright, on chain tracking for use). Gas and Cross Chain: As a multi chain (Arbitrarum, Polygon, etc.) gas fee, it supports low-cost transactions. The above content is information collected from the public market.
