$SENT Token Taps into Grid Infrastructure Momentum
Sentient Labs is a Singapore-based open-source AGI research lab building the GRID, a decentralized network where AI models, agents, datasets, evaluators, and compute resources interoperate and earn revenue through the $SENT token. Unlike many AI tokens that are simply riding the 'AI' trend, Sentient has actual infrastructure projects underway.
The project's closest parallel isn't another trading protocol; it's an open-source challenger to what OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are doing behind closed doors. The GRID already hosts over 110 artifact partners, including more than 50 specialized agents, 50+ data providers, and compute infrastructure partnerships ranging from Aethir to EigenLayer.
However, the path ahead for Sentient is not without risks. The tokenomics schedule shows that 44% of total supply sits in the Community Initiatives and Airdrop bucket, with 70% vesting linearly over four years from TGE (November 2025). This continuous supply headwind will impact the market even in the absence of bad news.
The investor cliff is an acute near-term risk. Investor tokens, representing 12.45% of total supply, sit behind a one-year cliff from TGE, which falls in November 2026. After this cliff, linear vesting over four years begins. The market may start pricing in that unlock pressure beginning in months four and five.
