Friends who participated in the previous discussions about Sentient(@SentientAGI) are definitely more familiar than I am
After all, the project gained one of the highest levels of attention and hype globally through marketing strategies like changing avatars
Therefore, this article will focus on the tokenomics design of SENT, discussing the logic behind the ultra-high community allocation
❚ 66% Community Allocation: Anti-VC Disk Economic Model
In the current cryptocurrency market, the community generally has a resistance to VC-led projects with high valuations and low circulation; the token distribution structure of SENT makes a clear distinction in this regard
- Community share 65.55%: This is currently the highest community allocation ratio in the AI x Crypto sector. Compared to other similar projects recently launched, typically around 40%-50%, SENT has left most of the chips to ecosystem participants and developers.
- The lowest insider allocation: The total share of the team and investors has been compressed to 34.45%, which is a very low ratio in the base layer protocol. This structure somewhat dilutes the early capital's control over later prices.
❚ Long-term lock-up and sustainable release
In addition to the allocation ratio, the release timeline of the chips is also a key factor in assessing the selling pressure.
- Team lock-up for 6 years: Currently, the mainstream team unlocking period in the industry is usually 3-4 years. SENT sets a mechanism of locking for 1 year after TGE, followed by a linear release over 6 years.
- Investor long-term period: Investor shares of 12.45% are fully locked during the TGE phase, also implementing a 1-year cliff period followed by 4 years of linear vesting.
- Inflation control: The token has set a fixed inflation rate of 2% per year, and the mechanism design includes a clause stating that 'unused inflation tokens will be locked' to avoid ineffective liquidity flooding.
❚ Product performance: Open-source data and benchmark testing
Sentient is positioned as an open-source AI model and data network. In addition to the token model, its product delivery capability is demonstrated through several sets of publicly available benchmark test data.
- ROMA framework: This is a multi-agent orchestration framework launched by Sentient, which outperforms closed-source competitors like Gemini and Perplexity in testing data for complex reasoning queries.
- ODS search framework: A framework for AI search tasks, ODS achieved an accuracy rate of 75.3% in DeepMind's FRAMES benchmark test, performing better than GPT-4o Search Preview in data presentation.
- SERA architecture: An inference architecture designed specifically for Web3 and DeFi research, performing excellently in tests within certain financial verticals.
❚ Market data and opening information
The project has completed $85 million in financing before TGE, providing a long-term development buffer without relying on the secondary market for funding.
According to the latest information, Binance will open spot trading at 21:00 Beijing time on January 22, providing the pre-market data in the accompanying image for reference:
- Pre-market spot price: $0.021
- Current FDV: $732 million

In summary, for users optimistic about the open-source AI narrative, tonight's spot opening is an important window to validate its 'community-first' commitment.
