Sapien's $SAPIEN Token Launch: Fueling AI with Onchain Data
Sapien Launches $SAPIEN Token to Decentralize AI Training Data
George Town, Cayman Islands, August 13th, 2025, Chainwire – The Sapien Foundation, the governing body behind Sapien, a decentralized protocol designed to connect human intelligence with AI systems, has announced the Token Generation Event (TGE) for its $SAPIEN token. The TGE is scheduled for August 20, 2025.
Sapien, built on Coinbase's Base Layer 2 network, seeks to establish a decentralized data foundry powered by a Proof of Quality (PoQ) protocol. This protocol emphasizes data integrity and manages participation through staking, validation, reputation, and incentive mechanisms.
Rowan Stone, CEO of Sapien, stated, “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? 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.”
Sapien reports collaborations with organizations like Midjourney, Workday, Alibaba, and the United Nations.
