Millions of minds are connected on the blockchain for training artificial intelligence by Sapien.
The Sapien Token Generation Event (TGE) took place on August 20, 2025, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the decentralized data industry. The $SAPIEN token, built on Coinbase's secure and cost-efficient Layer 2 blockchain, Base, offers a total supply of 1 billion tokens.
At launch, 25% of the total token supply was unlocked, with the remaining 75% released through transparent vesting schedules. The token distribution includes allocations for contributors, staking rewards, validation, reputation mechanisms, and governance incentives, all integrated into Sapien's Proof of Quality (PoQ) protocol.
The PoQ protocol ensures data quality and traceability by incentivizing reliable AI training data contributions. Eligible contributors will be able to claim a portion of their airdrop immediately following the TGE.
The Sapien system is designed to connect human intelligence to AI systems, fostering a self-governing data ecosystem for AI. It employs four integrated mechanisms—staking, validation, reputation, and incentives—to reward high-integrity data contributors and penalize low-quality data providers.
The upcoming TGE introduces a fair launch model that balances early utility, contributor rewards, investor alignment, and long-term community governance. The $SAPIEN token quickly listed on major exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Bybit, and Bitget, achieving over $1 billion in trading volume within the first 24 hours post-TGE.
Sapien is led by Rowan Stone, co-creator of Base at Coinbase, and Trevor Koverko, founder of Polymath. It is also backed by leading investors including Variant, Primitive Ventures, Yield Guild Games (YGG), and Orange DAO. The project has also formed strategic partnerships with entities such as AirTM, GIG, Intract, KGeN, Mises Browser, OpenLedger, Sentient Open AGI, Veera, Worldcoin, and YGG.
Sapien aims to make human data traceable, trustworthy, and scalable, empowering contributors around the world while producing high-integrity training data for AI. The protocol is already trusted by leading organizations, including Midjourney, Workday, Alibaba, GAC, Lenovo, Transsion, CarVertical, and the United Nations.
