Sentient protocol
Overview
Sentient is a foundation building an open-source artificial general intelligence ecosystem, backed by roughly $42 million in funding from investors including Founders Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures. Its flagship effort is the GRID, an open intelligence network connecting model developers, data providers and compute suppliers so that open-source models can be composed and monetised while their creators retain ownership. Crypto rails provide the payment and settlement layer: the SENT token underpins usage-based economics intended to fund continued open-source AI development, so the network can sustain itself from usage rather than investor capital alone.
