About Sentient
Sentient is a research organization focused on open-source AI reasoning, working to build open AI systems that can reason, reflect and self-improve, and to open up related models and tools. It combines open research with product development.
The project conducts frontier research on reasoning, releases models, frameworks and papers, and offers access for developers and the community. Emphasizing openness, collaboration and reproducibility, it seeks to lower the barrier to advanced AI capabilities and expands impact through community and academic collaboration, making it a closely watched team in open-source AI and reasoning models.
Sentient was founded in 2024 as an open-source, community-owned AGI platform aimed at breaking the monopoly of a few tech giants over closed AI, making model, data and compute development transparent and forkable, with Sandeep Nailwal as strategic advisor.
In 2024, Sentient closed an $85 million seed round led by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures, funding its open-source AGI infrastructure and the GRID agent network.
Sentient's core product, the GRID, is an open network built on Polygon AggLayer that contributes models, agents, data and tools as composable 'Artifacts,' running on an OML (Open, Monetizable, Loyal) framework alongside components like the Dobby model, a model-fingerprinting library and Open Deep Search.
On January 19, 2026, Sentient's SENT completed a Binance Prime Sale at $0.01106 per token, raising $7.6 million; on January 22 the token opened with a fixed supply of 34.36 billion.
Sentient's SENT follows a community-first allocation: 65.55% to community and ecosystem, 44% for incentives and airdrops, while team (22%) and investor (12.45%) tokens carry long lock-ups and fund governance, staking and GRID payments.
Sentient's SENT is deployed on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain as the GRID's coordination layer and fuel: staking enables governance and funding allocation, and invoking models and agents is paid in SENT.
The project remains early-stage: the GRID mainnet is not live, staking and per-invocation fees are not enabled with no committed timeline, and on-chain revenue is zero. On Apr 20, 2026, a suspected team multisig moved 687M SENT (about $11.52M) to a new address.
On July 9, Robinhood listed SENT spot trading; on Sept 18, CoinTR announced the delisting of SENT pairs, pressuring liquidity. Total supply is 34.36B SENT, with team and investors holding 22% and 12.45% respectively, both subject to 1-year cliffs; public analyses expect the investor cliff to expire around November 2026, with about 2% annual inflation.
On January 19, 2026, Sentient raised $7.6 million in a Binance Prime Sale at a fixed $0.01106 per token, with spot trading opening January 22. Total supply is 34.36 billion, 65.55% allocated to the community including 44% for airdrops and incentives, while team and investors hold 22% and 12.45% under long locks. SENT hit an all-time high of $0.04805 on January 31. On July 14 it had a $105.9 million market cap with only 723.8 million tokens circulating (21%). The GRID network claims more than 100 partners, but its GitHub saw no commits in four weeks. Sentient's Future strategy and roadmap: Sentient has a gap to close between narrative and valuation: a fully diluted value near $738 million against tokenomics that include neither buybacks nor burns, with staking rewards paid in emissions rather than fee splits, so demand for SENT must come from real inference calls. The problem it attacks is genuine - OML's model fingerprints make open weights measurable and chargeable, the paper is peer reviewed, and more than 110 partners have joined GRID - but delivery is the hard part, as mainnet and staking are not yet fully open and outsiders now read disclosure frequency as a proxy for credibility. If inference billing does not scale, open-source monetisation stays a protocol-layer story and value never reaches the token.
Sandeep Nailwal is co-founder and CEO of Sentient and a co-founder of Polygon. He started out doing software outsourcing and blockchain consulting in Delhi, and from 2021 devoted part of his time to ecosystem funds and developer tooling. In 2024 he launched Sentient with three academics.
Pramod Viswanath is a co-founder and professor of electrical engineering at Princeton, a co-inventor of Flash-OFDM in the 4G standard, and owns the research direction on model architecture and training methods. Himanshu Tyagi, also a co-founder, teaches at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, co-founded Witness Chain, and covers cryptography and the verification layer. Sewoong Oh is head of AI research, a University of Washington professor whose team handles evaluation and alignment of open models. Research, engineering and ecosystem are split between the three academics and Nailwal.
