What is Sentient (SENT)?
Source: Sentient Labs
Sentient Labs is pioneering the GRID, a massive, decentralized intelligence network designed to democratize Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Unlike the closed, proprietary systems typical of “Big Tech,” Sentient operates on an open-source philosophy, ensuring that AGI remains transparent, verifiable, and community-controlled.
The GRID serves as a unified orchestration layer where over 110 partners, including specialized agents, foundational models, and data providers like The Graph, Napkin, and Exa, collaborate in real-time. By leveraging blockchain technology, Sentient thus creates a traceable environment where every AI interaction is recorded on-chain.
Furthermore, the GRID functions as a specialized system where agents, models, and data providers collaborate in real-time via blockchain-backed verification. To protect creators, Sentient introduced the OML (Open, Monetizable, Loyal) framework, solving the “open-source funding gap.” Through AI-Native Cryptography, developers embed unique “Model Fingerprints” into their work, allowing creators to prove ownership and collect automated fees via smart contracts, ensuring open-source AI is finally sustainable and profitable.
For developers, Sentient provides the ROMA (Recursive Open Meta-Agent) framework, managing complex reasoning by breaking large tasks into manageable sub-tasks handled by specialized agents. The network emphasizes Composability, allowing multiple AI units to chain together for complex workflows.
SENT Token Details
The SENT token serves as the essential coordination layer and “economic constitution” for the Sentient network. In particular, it facilitates transaction fees, governs protocol updates, and powers the network’s unique incentive model. Developers earn SENT when users call their specific AI models or tools, while users can stake SENT on the “artifacts” they find most valuable, directing token emissions toward the most useful projects in the ecosystem.
