Sogni AI Launches Mainnet with Tier-1 Exchange Listings

Business Insider

01-07-2025

Sogni AI, the decentralized creative-AI platform, has migrated to mainnet. As part of the launch, the SOGNI utility token will go live on Kraken, MEXC, and Gate.io on July 2nd at 12 PM UTC, providing immediate CEX liquidity, with Base Aerodrome and Etherlink IguanaDEX being launched in the coming days.
Sogni AI's mainnet launch facilitates open-source generative-AI models with a permissionless GPU-worker network. Creators submit jobs through three production-ready dApps (Sogni Web, Sogni Pocket, and Sogni Studio), while workers earn SOGNI for supplying compute.
Sogni AI's mainnet launch will debut simultaneously on Base, currently the most popular Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 blockchain, and Etherlink, an EVM-compatible layer-2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups technology. This ensures both widespread accessibility through Base's robust ecosystem and a connection to creative communities empowered by the Tezos ecosystem.
Sogni AI's token (SOGNI) is the utility asset of Sogni Supernet, powering its rendering infrastructure, rewarding artists and node operators ('Workers'), and unlocking advanced app functionality. To onboard Web2 users, who expect simplicity and performance, while appealing to crypto-native users focused on decentralization and ownership, Sogni utilizes a dual-token architecture:
SOGNI token: A fully transferable, on-chain utility token used for rendering, staking, governance, and accessing deeper platform features.
Spark points: Fixed-value, non-transferable render credits that can be earned or purchased in-app.
The exchange listings coincide with mainnet-wallet activation, Spark Point integration, staking, and leaderboard rewards, forming the economic engine for a user-owned creative ecosystem.
Token Utility & Economics
Payments for real-world usage: Creators spend SOGNI to pay for GPU rendering jobs, on-chain storage, and NFT minting, directly linking token demand to platform adoption.
Staking & slashing for node security: GPU-worker operators bond SOGNI to accept workloads; poor performance or fraud is penalised by slashing, while larger stakes receive priority queues and higher yield.
On-chain governance: Holders propose and vote on protocol upgrades, budget allocations, and parameter changes, and can serve as jurors in dispute-resolution rounds.
Emissions & rewards: Newly minted SOGNI is distributed to node operators, model developers, liquidity providers, and active creators, aligning incentives across the ecosystem.
