A platform for open-source artificial intelligence, Sentient, recently released a tokenomics model, attracting considerable attention. The project set the total supply of the $SENT token at 34.36 billion—this number equals 2 to the 35th power, which clearly has a special technical significance.

In terms of distribution structure, community incentives and airdrops account for 44%, the ecosystem and R&D make up 19.55%, the team 22%, investors 12.45%, and public sale only 2%. This design clearly aims to give more power to the community. Regarding the release schedule, 30% is unlocked when the community part goes live, with the remaining 70% linearly released over four years; the team and investors have lock-up periods of one year and beyond, after which they can gradually unlock.

What does the market think? The prediction market data is quite interesting—there's a 99% chance that the fully diluted valuation will exceed $200 million on the first day of trading, an 87% chance it will break $400 million, and an 83% chance it will surpass $600 million. Currently, the trading volume of such prediction contracts is about $330,000, indicating strong interest.

The token's utility is also clear: it serves as a payment tool within the ecosystem, allowing users to invoke models, purchase data services, pay proxy fees, and circulate among various products driven by "Artifacts." The goal of this component architecture is to create an on-chain, composable value cycle.

Airdrops have been open for registration since November last year, covering four groups: community contributors, active users, KOLs, and open-source researchers. More roles and more refined reward mechanisms will be introduced in the future.
