Sentient Token Transparency Filing

Project & Team

Description of Project

Provide a concise narrative that clearly states each of (a)–(e) below.

(a) Problem the project solves — The problem the project is solving.
(b) Operational priorities — Provide a high-level description of how the project expects to support ongoing development and operations over time.
(c) High-level project overview — How the project works at a high level.
(d) Primary token functions — The primary functions of the token (e.g. gov participation).
(e) Control surface reliance — If any, briefly describe the anticipated or possible evolution of the protocol's governance/control model.

(a) Problem the project solves

Sentient targets the centralization of AI development inside a small number of large proprietary companies. The project builds an open, community-owned AGI network that no single organization controls, and replaces a closed and fragmented AI landscape with shared open infrastructure.

(b) Operational priorities

Operations center on expanding the GRID network of AI artifacts, routing user demand through Sentient Chat, and rewarding builders and stakers through programmatic token emissions and revenue shares from user payments. Sentient Foundation provides governance stewardship while Sentient Labs runs research and product development.

(c) High-level project overview

Sentient operates the GRID, an open network of modular AI artifacts spanning models, agents, data sources, and tools. Users interact through Sentient Chat, and builders contribute artifacts into the network to earn a share of rewards.

(Source: Sentient Overview, SENT Tokenomics)

(d) Primary token functions

SENT is the economic coordination layer of the GRID. Holders stake on artifacts, delegate to elected network representatives, pay for ecosystem services across models, data, and agents, and participate in DAO-governed reward distribution.

(Source: SENT Tokenomics, Sentient Overview)

(e) Control surface reliance

The control surface is governance-linked. The Sentient DAO sets the emission rate and distribution parameters, DAO-elected network representatives govern reward allocation, and holders stake with representatives or artifacts to shape rewards and governance. Sentient Foundation guides governance during the initial phase, and full DAO control activates in a later protocol phase.

Known Project Team

For each existing entity: Labs/DevCo (e.g., Founder, CEO, CTO, COO), Foundation (e.g., President, Executive Director, CFO, COO), and DAO / onchain governance leadership (if applicable) list the: (a) full names, (b) official titles, (c) and prior experience of key team members. For any non-existent entity, explicitly mention it does not exist. External links may be included but they will not factor into the score.

Full Name	Entity	Official Title	Prior Experience
Sandeep Nailwal	Labs	Co-founder	Co-founder of Polygon, one of the largest Ethereum scaling networks
Pramod Viswanath	Labs	Co-founder	Forrest G. Hamrick Professor of Engineering at Princeton University and co-inventor of Flash-OFDM, the technology underlying the 4G wireless standard
Himanshu Tyagi	Labs	Co-founder	Professor of Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science and co-founder of Witness Chain
Sentient Foundation is a global nonprofit incorporated in Singapore. It launched publicly on February 19, 2026 and stewards research, governance, grants, and open-source AGI alignment standards. The Foundation has not published a named officer roster in sources reviewed, and no individual officeholders are disclosed for the Foundation entity.	Foundation
Sentient runs a liquid-democracy DAO in which SENT holders elect network representatives who govern reward allocation. No individual named leaders hold the governance layer, because representative seats are elected by tokenholders rather than appointed.	DAO

DAO Structure

Provide a structured description of the DAO's governance, powers, and economic rights. If a DAO does not exist, state so. Address the lettered items below. Even if there is no DAO, there must be an answer to (d).

(a) IP ownership & control — State what IP the DAO owns or controls (e.g., codebases/repos, trademarks/brands). Note any license if relevant.
(b) Contract/admin powers — List onchain or administrative authorities and limits: pause/upgrade roles (e.g., multisig pause), governance-executor authorities, and the method of authority for each (e.g., veto, majority, super-majority).
(c) Locked-token rights (conditional) — If locking/staking for additional rights exists, explain the additional rights and what tokenholders can and cannot decide. If no locking mechanism exists, leave absent.
(d) Value accrual & holder rights — If any, describe the current rights of tokenholders over revenue distribution and the treasury.
(e) Dissolution authority — State who can dissolve/wind up the DAO and by what mechanism (e.g., onchain vote threshold, board resolution of a legal wrapper).

(a) IP ownership & control

The split of IP, codebases, trademarks, and brand assets between the Sentient DAO, Sentient Labs Pte. Ltd., and Sentient Foundation is not publicly disclosed.

(Source: Sentient Foundation Launch)

(b) Contract/admin powers

Sentient operates a liquid-democracy DAO in which every SENT token carries voting power. Holders vote directly on proposals or delegate voting power to elected network representatives, who form a council that governs reward allocation. Governance proposals are debated and executed onchain through smart contracts. Sentient Foundation guides the process during the initial protocol phase, and full DAO authority activates in a later phase.

(Source: SENT Tokenomics, Sentient Overview)

(c) Locked-token rights (conditional)

Holders stake on artifacts, delegate to representatives, vote directly or by delegation, and participate in protocol parameter votes and community-fund allocation votes during the public rollout phases. Staking is the mechanism through which holders access governance influence and reward participation.

(Source: SENT Tokenomics, Sentient Overview)

(d) Value accrual & holder rights

Holder rights are governance-linked and incentive-linked rather than dividend-based. Builders earn token emissions and a share of revenue from user payments, and holders stake and participate in reward allocation and governance. The Foundation treasury funds protocol operations, security, and market growth, with DAO control in a later phase. Sentient does not disclose any direct revenue-distribution right from treasury assets to holders.

(Source: SENT Tokenomics, Sentient Overview)

(e) Dissolution authority

The holder of dissolution authority over the DAO and the mechanism for exercising it are not publicly disclosed.

Token Supply & Allocations

Initial Allocation

Disclose launch and initial supply details in a single initial allocation schedule covering the token's launch.

(a) Launch supply totals — The total number of tokens issued at launch, the total number of tokens locked at launch or the total number of tokens unlocked at launch.
(b) Recipient categories & use of funds — The recipient categories with brief explanations as to how the category will use the tokens so an auditor can distinguish each bucket.
(c) Initial price per token (if applicable) — The initial price per token at TGE. If the token launched via a liquidity bootstrapping mechanism, auction, or other price-discovery process rather than a fixed offering price, describe that mechanism and the final market set price instead. If no fixed price was set, state so.
(d) Ticker / market symbol — The ticker/market symbol.
(e) Total supply & supply regime — The total supply and whether the supply is fixed (if not explain inflation rate or deflation rate).
(f) Initial vesting / release schedules — The initial vesting/release schedules (identify which categories/recipients are subject to vesting and the high-level timing logic).

(a) Launch supply totals

Total supply is 34,359,738,368 SENT, exactly 2 to the 35th power. Sentient published this figure in its official tokenomics release on January 16, 2026, and Binance confirmed it in the Prime Sale that offered 687,194,767 SENT, 2 percent of total supply, at a fixed price. An earlier draft referenced a 10,000,000,000 supply figure from an older whitepaper version, and the January 2026 tokenomics release supersedes it.

Airdrop Process

Address each of the following sub-items based on the project's airdrop status. If a sub-item does not apply to the project's situation, state that explicitly.

(a) Planned but not yet executed airdrop — If the project has planned but not yet airdropped, commit to publishing a recipient wallet list in a public channel and provide it to Blockworks quarterly until the initial TGE airdrop is fully completed. Additionally, generally state the possible target user segments (e.g., "stakers of X," "Aave users") and the allocation method (e.g., proportional to ve-balance or net position).
(b) Executed airdrop — If the project has already airdropped, point to a per-address source such as CSV/TSV/JSON files, a Dune table, a full Merkle dump, GitHub repo files embedding per-address allocations, or RPC endpoints that expose claim/amount data; explorer links alone do not count. Additionally, clearly state covered user segments (e.g., "stakers of X," "Aave users") and the allocation method (e.g., proportional to ve-balance or net position).
(c) No airdrop planned or conducted — If the project does not plan to conduct an airdrop for TGE and has never conducted one, state so plainly (e.g., "We have never conducted an airdrop to date and do not plan to execute one").

Planned but not yet executed airdrop: Partially applicable. The initial TGE airdrop has been executed and the registration portal closed on November 29, 2025. However, the community incentives and airdrops allocation continues to release linearly over four years from the token generation event, with 70 percent of the allocation still unlocking through November 2029. Sentient has not published a schedule, eligibility criteria, or allocation methodology for distributions from the remaining unlocked portion, and has not committed to publishing recipient wallet lists for those distributions or providing them to Blockworks on a quarterly basis.
Executed airdrop: The airdrop has been executed. The community incentives and airdrops allocation of 44 percent of supply began distributing at the token generation event on November 22, 2025, with 30 percent unlocked at that event and the remaining 70 percent releasing linearly over four years.

Covered user segments: Community contributors to Sentient-related open-source efforts, active users of Sentient Chat, top voices and consistent contributors on social platforms, and external open-source researchers.

Allocation method: Not disclosed. Sentient has published participation requirements — linking multiple accounts and completing a one-time zero-knowledge selfie proof through the Billions protocol — but has not published the weighting, scoring, or tiering used to size individual allocations within or across the four segments.

Per-address source: None. No per-address airdrop file, Merkle dump, Dune table, GitHub repository embedding allocations, or RPC endpoint exposing claim/amount data has been identified in public sources.

Sources: ICO Drops, SENT Tokenomics
No airdrop planned or conducted: Not applicable. Sentient has conducted an airdrop, as described in (b).

Blockworks note: The 44 percent figure covers a combined "community incentives and airdrops" bucket rather than an airdrop-specific allocation. The portion of that bucket attributable to the TGE airdrop specifically is not broken out in the cited sources, so the airdrop's size cannot be stated independently of ongoing incentive programs.

Participation required identity verification through the Billions protocol, meaning eligibility was gated on a per-person proof rather than solely on wallet-level or onchain activity. This is a design choice that plausibly constrains what a per-address file could disclose, but it does not remove the disclosure gap — allocations still resolved to wallet addresses at distribution.

Transactions & Market Structures

Market Maker Agreements & Deals

Projects must disclose all material terms of market-making arrangements that affect token liquidity. If the project has no agreements or deals with market makers, state that explicitly; doing so earns full credit. For each market maker, include in a table:

(a) Market maker's name — the market maker's name;
(b) Token allocation or loaned amount — the token allocation or loaned amount as a percentage of total supply;
(c) Duration/term of agreement — the duration/term of the agreement; and, where applicable,
(d) Name of agreement structure — label the financial vehicle being used in the agreement (i.e. loan, option/call, retainer model) without describing trading strategy or expected outcomes.

If the project has no agreements or deals with market makers, state that explicitly; doing so earns full credit. If no native tokens were loaned or allocated to market makers, state that explicitly; cash/fiat retainers or fees are not required for this item.

Blockworks note: No market-maker counterparties, token loan amounts, term durations, or agreement structures are publicly disclosed.

(Source: ICO Drops)

CEX / DEX Agreements & Deals

Projects must disclose all material terms of centralized or decentralized exchange listings that affect token liquidity. For each listing, include in a table:

(a) Exchange name / DEX pool — the exchange name (and, for DEX, the specific pool/pair);
(b) Token allocation for listing — the token allocation supplied or committed for listing as a percentage of total supply;
(c) Term Duration — the duration/term of any listing lockups, liquidity, or incentive programs; and, where applicable,
(d) Native-token listing fees — whether any listing fees were paid in native tokens, with amounts (tokens or % of supply), recipients, and any vesting or lock terms tied to the partnership.

If the project has no agreements or deals with CEX or DEX, state that explicitly; doing so earns full credit; cash/fiat fee amounts are not required for this item.

Blockworks note: SENT trades on multiple centralized exchanges. Binance listed SENT for trading on January 22, 2026, and Coinbase, OKX, and Upbit added SENT trading during 2026. No public source discloses token allocation commitments, listing lockup durations, liquidity program terms, or native-token listing fee amounts for any of these venues.

Financial Disclosures & Risks

Prior Token Sales & Fundraising

Disclose all prior token sales by the Project — including fundraising rounds, any material OTC sales to investors, and any discounted market-maker sales. For each sale, provide:

(a) Series Name
(b) Early-Stage Investment Instrument used (i.e. SAFT, STAMP, SAFE, SAFE+Token Warrant, etc.)
(c) Date of sale (at least month & year)
(d) Number of tokens sold (or % of total supply)
(e) Vesting schedule

If no prior sales occurred, state that explicitly (e.g., "No prior fundraising, OTC, or discounted MM sales have occurred.").

Series Name: Seed Round
- Investment Vehicle: Not Disclosed
- Date Of Sale: Closed May 2024, announced July 2, 2024
- Number of tokens sold: Token count for the 85M round not separately disclosed; the 12.45% investor allocation of ~4.3B SENT covers all private backers
- Vesting Schedule: 1-year cliff from TGE, then linear over 4 years
Series Name: Binance Wallet Prime Sale
- Investment Vehicle: Not Disclosed
- Date Of Sale: January 19, 2026
- Number of tokens sold: 687,194,767 SENT (2% of supply) at 0.01106 dollars
- Vesting Schedule: 100% unlocked at TGE

Blockworks note: Two fundraising events are documented. Sentient Labs closed an 85 million dollar seed round in May 2024, announced on July 2, 2024, co-led by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and Framework Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, HashKey Capital, Hack VC, Delphi Ventures, Robot Ventures, Symbolic Capital, Foresight Ventures, Canonical Crypto, and Ethereal Ventures. Sentient then ran a Binance Wallet Prime Sale on January 19, 2026 that raised 7.6 million dollars.

Previous Exploits Affecting The Native Token

If any, list prior exploits or incidents that directly affected the token, token supply, tokenholder balances, token contract, minting controls, burn mechanics, or custody of token supply. This question is not asking about general protocol, application, or smart contract exploits unless the incident directly affected the native token itself. If no prior incidents, state this explicitly (e.g., "No exploits affecting tokenholders or protocol funds as of YYYY-MM-DD").

(a) Date & component affected — Date (YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD), chain(s)/component affected.
(b) Exploit vector summary — Plain-language summary of the exploit vector (what the hack was).
(c) Quantified impact — Quantified impact (assets/tokens affected or a clear "no loss of funds" statement).
(d) Remediation/response taken — Remediation/response taken (patches, upgrades, governance actions, compensation).
(e) Current status — Current status (resolved, in litigation, under investigation, refunded, etc.).
(f) References (optional) — References (optional): link(s) to post-mortem/advisory/PR.
