$SENT
Sentient (SENT) is currently one of the most talked-about "AI-agent" tokens of early 2026. While several older projects have used the "SENT" ticker (like Sentinel or Sentivate), the primary focus in the current market is Sentient, an AI-focused protocol that has seen explosive volatility this month.
Short Analysis: Sentient (SENT)
The Narrative: Sentient is riding the "AI x Crypto" wave of 2026. It positions itself as an open-source platform for building decentralized AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). Its goal is to ensure that large language models are owned by the community rather than centralized tech giants.
Current Performance: SENT has recently hit a significant local peak, reaching an all-time high of approximately $0.026 on January 22, 2026. This was driven by its listing on major exchanges like Bybit and renewed retail interest in "AI Agents" that can trade autonomously on-chain.
The "Bull" Case: The circulating supply is roughly 7.24 billion, and with a market cap sitting around $160M - $180M, it is still considered a "mid-cap" with room for growth compared to giants like Bittensor (TAO).
The "Bear" Case: The project has a massive maximum supply of 34.36 billion. This means significant "token unlocks" (inflation) could suppress the price later in the year if demand doesn't keep up.
