Sapien, a decentralized permissionless protocol connecting human intelligence to AI systems, has announced plans to launch the Token Generation Event for its native token $SAPIEN.
According to the announcement, the TGE has been scheduled to commence on August 20, amid efforts to expand recognition for the blockchain project across the broad crypto space.
While the token is built on Base, SAPIEN will leverage Coinbase’s secure and cost-efficient Layer 2 infrastructure to power a decentralized data foundry supported by an open Proof of Quality (PoQ) protocol.
This allows the system to enforce data quality and coordinates participation through four integrated mechanisms: staking, validation, reputation, and incentives.
 
Rowan Stone, the CEO of Sapien, commented on the proposed launch of SAPIEN’s TGE, saying, “Sapien exists to help AI teams answer two questions that matter for every decision their models make: where did this data come from, and can it be trusted? On-chain systems have proven that incentives can organize capital at scale.”
“We’re applying the same principles to knowledge through our Proof of Quality protocol, aligning incentives to verify provenance and scale high-value data. The aim is simple: make human data traceable, trustworthy, and scalable so the AI built on it can actually improve lives,” Stone added.
While the event seeks to foster the adoption of the token across the global space, Sapien has already gained trust from leading organizations, including Midjourney, Workday, Alibaba, GAC, Lenovo, Transsion, CarVertical, and the United Nations.
Moreso, the platform is actively collaborating with strategic partners such as AirTM, GIG, Intract, KGeN, Mises Browser, OpenLedger, Sentient Open AGI, Veera, Worldcoin, and YGG.
The announcement further revealed that the upcoming TGE introduces a fair launch model that balances early utility, contributor rewards, investor alignment, and long-term community governance.
Notably, 25% of the total token supply will be unlocked upon launch, with the remaining 75% released through transparent vesting schedules. The total token supply is capped at 1,000,000,000 $SAPIEN.
Eligible contributors will be able to claim a portion of their airdrop immediately following the TGE. This marks the first season of the Sapien Airdrop, an ongoing campaign designed to reward high-quality contributions retroactively.
To prepare for the drop, point accumulation for task-based work has been paused. A final leaderboard will be published ahead of the August 20th event. After the TGE, contributors will begin earning $USDC and $SAPIEN directly through the platform.
Cookie and Kaito campaigns will continue awarding points for eligible social content. Cookie’s claim window will also open at TGE, with vesting terms to be announced separately.
During the first season of the airdrop, 5% of the allocations tokens will be distributed to contributors based on confirmed points while 0.5% CookieDAO will be allocated to top 10,000 Snappers, 25% to the top 100, and 30% unlocked at TGE, then 3 months linear vesting.
Sapien is led by Rowan Stone, co-creator of Base at Coinbase, and Trevor Koverko, founder of Polymath, and backed by leading investors including Variant, Primitive Ventures, Yield Guild Games (YGG), and Orange DAO through its $10.5M seed round.
