Sapien, the world’s first decentralized data foundry, is integrating its rapidly growing ecosystem of 155,000 AI trainers across more than 110 countries into Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, as it prepares to launch its open, permissionless protocol.
Sapien’s protocol allows enterprises, AI models, and agents to seamlessly access human expertise. By leveraging decentralized technology, where code enforces quality and contributors stake their expertise to earn rewards, Sapien is creating a gig-work-style ecosystem that empowers individuals to share their knowledge and advance AI for the benefit of the global community.
Introducing Sapien’s Points-to-Token Program
Sapien’s Points-to-Token program includes:
1. Premium Rewards for Quality and Consistency: Points earned for high-quality contributions are converted into a combination of SPN tokens and stablecoins, with higher-quality contributions resulting in amplified rewards.
2. Referral Bonuses: Early participants can increase their impact and earnings through a tiered referral program. By bringing in qualified AI trainers, contributors can earn up to 5% of their referrals’ rewards for twelve months, with no limit on total earnings.
3. Reputation Advantage: Trainers who complete tasks now will be able to build their reputation score and gain access to higher-reward premium tasks in the future.
Sapien’s innovative gamified approach transforms AI knowledge contribution into an engaging experience, featuring dynamic missions, leaderboards, and progression systems to ensure both quality and participant retention. By aligning incentives, reputation systems, and game mechanics, Sapien is paving the way for enterprises to access verified expertise at scale, while empowering contributors with portable on-chain reputations and meaningful rewards.
Empowering Scalable AI Training with Strategic Partnerships and Innovative Technology
Led by Rowan Stone, co-creator of Base at Coinbase, and Trevor Koverko, founder of Polymath, Sapien combines economic incentives, reputation systems, and game mechanics to create the infrastructure for scalable AI training. Supported by industry leaders such as Variant, Primitive Ventures, Yield Guild Games (YGG), and Orange DAO through its $10.5M seed round, Sapien is collaborating with strategic partners including Worldcoin, YGG, GIG, Veera, and Aither.
“An open protocol for AI training data only works on-chain — full stop,” said Rowan Stone, CEO of Sapien. “From doctors and lawyers to creators and enthusiasts, everyone possesses knowledge that AI requires, but there has never been a standardized way to capture, verify, and reward that expertise at scale. By providing experts with incentives and portable reputation, we are enabling anyone to contribute their knowledge to advance AI. With 155,000 participants across 110 countries already involved, we are proving that combining economic alignment with expertise can unlock groundbreaking AI capabilities across various industries.”
To maintain its momentum, Sapien is introducing its Points-to-Token program, designed to reward contributors for their expertise ahead of the protocol’s official launch. This program allows participants to earn points through high-quality contributions, which can be converted into tokens after the launch, providing early adopters with a significant stake in the ecosystem.
Interested participants can sign up today and start earning rewards now.
