Sapien, a decentralized protocol for AI training, announced its token generation event.

Summary
  • Sapien will launch its own token on August 20
  • The protocol, built on Base, will reward human contributors to AI models
  • Rowan Stone, co-creator of Base, leads Sapien

Blockchain and AI are increasingly converging. On Wednesday, August 13, Sapien announced the launch of a token to reward humans who train AI. The decentralized AI data protocol, co-founded by Base’s (BASE) Rowan Stone, is set to launch the SAPIEN token on August 20.

The network’s goal is to create incentives that reward both human contribution and quality in AI models. By offering incentives to AI trainers, Sapien aims to develop models that consistently outperform others.

“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?” Rowan Stone, CEO of Sapien.

Sapien boasts 1.5 million human contributors

The network claims to have 1.5 million contributors, who have completed 180 million data tasks to date. Notably, Sapien records these inputs onchain, making the data used to train models transparent.

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,” Rowan Stone, CEO of Sapien.

Blockchain technology offers significant synergies with AI. Crypto can provide the incentives to build AI models in a decentralized way, while also enabling greater transparency.

Sapien is led by Rowan Stone, who played a key role in developing Coinbase’s Base network, and Trevor Koverko, founder of Polymath. The firm has secured $10.5 million in investment from firms including Variant, Primitive Ventures, Yield Guild Games (YGG), and Orange DAO.
