Sogni AI Mainnet Launch and What Creatives Need to Know
Sogni AI, a decentralized creative-AI platform, has officially moved to mainnet. On July 2nd at 12 PM UTC, the SOGNI utility token will become available on Kraken, MEXC, and Gate.io, offering immediate centralized exchange liquidity. Additional decentralized exchanges like Base Aerodrome and Etherlink IguanaDEX will follow shortly after.
What sets Sogni apart is its commitment to building a fully decentralized creative ecosystem on-chain. It provides open-source AI access and supports its network through decentralized physical infrastructure (dePIN). After 9 months of continuous iteration and over 100 million content generations, along with 900 connected GPUs and 367,000 users during Testnet, Sogni is ready for its mainnet debut.
Building for Both Web2 and Web3 Creatives
One major challenge for crypto projects is balancing simplicity for Web2 users and decentralization for Web3 users. Sogni addresses this with a dual-token system:
- SOGNI token: A fully transferable, on-chain utility token for rendering, staking, governance, and unlocking advanced features.
- Spark Points: Fixed-value, non-transferable render credits earned or bought in-app for straightforward usage.
How the SOGNI Token Works for Creatives
The SOGNI token is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and acts as the core currency connecting creators, developers, GPU operators (called Workers), and the community within the Sogni Supernet.
- Creators pay for rendering and gain leaderboard multipliers by spending SOGNI.
- Workers stake SOGNI to operate and can increase rewards by staking more than required.
- Model Developers earn rewards in SOGNI and can stake tokens to boost their models’ visibility.
- Token holders participate in governance and act as jurors in disputes related to worker performance.
Holding SOGNI unlocks several benefits:
- Discounted rendering costs, minting tools, and storefront perks for creators.
- Staking options for workers to boost earnings and job priority.
- Visibility boosts and revenue increase for model developers.
- Governance rights and community decision-making participation.
- Tiered benefits for long-term stakers, including queue priority, extra rewards, and eligibility for NFT drops.
- Liquidity providers earn rewards by staking LP tokens to stabilize the ecosystem.
Unlike centralized platforms where fees vanish, Sogni redistributes value back to those who contribute — whether through creativity, computing power, or engagement.
Spark Points: Keeping It Simple
Spark Points are stable, fixed-value render credits designed for ease of use. One Spark equals one standard render job. They are non-volatile, non-transferable, and can be earned through daily rewards or purchased in-app, with no need to interact with crypto exchanges.
Spark Points are perfect for creators who want to focus on making art without crypto friction. They also serve as a metric for engagement rewards, quests, and leaderboard participation.
Token Allocation: Where SOGNI Goes
The initial SOGNI token supply is allocated to support creators, contributors, and the long-term health of the platform:
- Ecosystem (58.7%): Reserved for creators, workers, the Creator Fund, community programs, and the treasury.
- Team and Advisors (20%): Allocated to the founding team and advisors with long-term vesting.
- Private & Public Sales (12.3%): For early investors and to fund development and liquidity.
- Market Makers & Exchange Incentives (8%): To ensure liquidity and smooth exchange listings.
This distribution reflects Sogni’s emphasis on empowering creators and contributors fairly while maintaining transparency.
What This Means for Creatives
On most creative platforms, users pay for access but don’t own or influence the platform. Sogni changes that. Here:
- Artists help govern the tools they use.
- Developers run apps on open infrastructure.
- Contributors earn by participating actively.
This approach ensures that creativity isn’t just a cost — it’s part of a shared, rewarding ecosystem.
