$SENT coin is the utility token for the Sentient open-source Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) platform, primarily used for governance (voting on network upgrades), staking (locking tokens for rewards/access), and as currency for the decentralized AI ecosystem (paying for AI models/data), enabling participation in the AI economy through trading, earning yield, and accessing AI services like Sentient Chat. It fuels a community-built AGI network called the GRID, allowing users to contribute AI resources and get rewarded, aiming to provide a decentralized alternative to closed AI systems.
