What is Sentient crypto?

Sentient is an open-source AI research organization building an "Open AGI Economy": a decentralized alternative to closed AI systems. The core construct is the GRID, a network of composable AI artifacts (models, agents, data sources) that pay each other on-chain. Products include Sentient Chat, the Dobby AI model series, and the ROMA agent framework. SENT is the ecosystem's ERC-20 token on Ethereum, serving as the governance, staking, and payment asset across the network.

How is the SENT token used?

SENT is the utility and governance token of the Sentient ecosystem. Holders stake SENT for governance participation and access to AI artifacts on the GRID. The Sentient DAO votes on emission levels, treasury spending, and protocol upgrades. SENT also serves as the payment currency between AI artifacts in the GRID network. Emissions are capped at 2% annually and flow into a Community Emission Pool; unspent amounts re-lock at year-end.

What is SENT token's total supply?

Per DropsTab data, SENT's maximum supply is capped at 34,359,738,368 tokens, and total supply equals the same figure, meaning the full amount is minted at genesis. The cap is set at exactly 2^35, a deliberate design choice the team has said it will explain in a future AMA. SENT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with 18 decimals, verifiable on Etherscan.

How is SENT's token supply allocated?

Community-controlled buckets hold 65.55% of SENT supply. Community Initiatives and Airdrop holds 44.0%, Ecosystem and R&D holds 19.55%, and the Public Sale holds 2.0%. The team allocation is 22.0% and the investor allocation is 12.45%, bringing total insider allocation to 34.45%. Percentages come from the official tokenomics page published on January 29, 2026.

What does SENT's vesting schedule mean for investors?

The vesting structure concentrates insider sell pressure starting around January 2027. Team tokens, 22% of supply, are fully locked for 1 year after TGE and then vest linearly over 6 years. Investor tokens, 12.45% of supply, carry a 1-year cliff followed by 4-year linear vesting. Both insider cliffs expire around January 2027, after which linear release begins against a supply that is already fully minted at genesis. Community and Ecosystem buckets released 30% at TGE with the remainder vesting over 4 years, and the airdrop was fully unlocked at TGE.

Who are the Sentient investors and how much has the project raised?

DropsTab fundraising data shows Sentient raised $85M in a seed round in July 2024, co-led by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and Framework Ventures. Nine other funds participated, including Arrington Capital, HashKey Capital, Delphi Ventures, and Hack VC. A Binance Wallet Sale on January 19, 2026 raised $7.6M for 2% of supply at approximately $0.011 per token. A strategic round followed on January 26, 2026 with Franklin Templeton as the listed participant. Aggregate disclosed funding is approximately $92.6M.

What does Sentient's fundraising signal about project maturity?

The investor list combines top-tier crypto venture funds with traditional finance. Founders Fund, the firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, co-led the seed round, backing that drew broad coverage from The Block. Franklin Templeton, a major traditional asset manager, joined the January 2026 strategic round. Binance hosted the token sale on its own Wallet platform. No single venture fund is disclosed as holding more than 20% of SENT supply.

Who qualified for the Sentient airdrop?

The airdrop drew from the 44% Community Initiatives and Airdrop allocation and targeted contributors to the Sentient ecosystem. Registration ran from November 17 to November 29, 2025 through an Airdrop Registration Portal, where contributors connected the wallets and accounts used to contribute and test. Earlier campaigns fed the funnel: a Dobby AI pre-registration waitlist ran January 8-14, 2025, and a Sentient Chat waitlist opened February 27, 2025. The airdrop itself was fully unlocked at the token generation event in January 2026.

Where can you buy and trade SENT?

SENT trades on more than 20 centralized spot exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and Upbit, with SENT/USDT and SENT/USD among the main pairs; fiat quotes also include EUR, KRW, and TRY. USDT-margined perpetual futures trade on major venues including Binance Futures, OKX, and Bybit. On-chain, SENT trades on Uniswap V2 and Uniswap V4 on Ethereum against WETH, USDT, and USDC. Per DropsTab data, coverage is broad and CEX-dominated, which keeps liquidity risk low relative to typical new listings.
