The Sentient project recently announced a new tokenomics plan, with a detail worth noting — 2% of the token supply will be allocated for community public offerings. Interestingly, the valuation set for this round of public sale is quite conservative, explicitly indicating it will be lower than the previous institutional investor price.

This approach actually reflects a trend. Leading projects that completed large-scale funding rounds last year are now returning to the public offering route. Sentient raised $85 million last year, with Founders and Pantera leading the investment, and now they are doing a community round. This pace is quite intriguing.

The low-valuation open participation setup seems to be aimed at gaining community support. In the current market environment, whether this approach is genuinely about offering benefits or has other considerations, different parties may interpret it differently. However, at least from the perspective of funding amount and investor background, the scale of this project is evident.

Still here to cut the leeks, low valuation? Maybe no one wants it at all, so they had to lower the price.

85 million USD completed, and they still want to cut the leeks. Low valuation? Haha, I'm tired of this kind of rhetoric.

85 million raised and still coming to cut, the low valuation story sounds nice, I just want to see the launch price

85 million USD in funding has been secured, and now they need to go through community rounds. I see through this routine. --- Below institutional prices? Just listen, in the end, it will still break after listing. --- Genuine profit sharing or just harvesting retail investors, you'll know once it goes live. --- Founders and Pantera's projects are indeed different, but a 2% quota is too little. --- Just want to see how much community money can be raised this time; anyway, it's another round of gambling. --- It sounds good, but actually it's just about needing community endorsement. --- Low valuation sounds attractive, but the key is when can it be sold, haha. --- This pace is truly incredible; spending so much money and still having to come back to please the community.

Only 2%? That number is really stingy. After raising 85 million, what are you pretending to be a good person for?

It has been proven that projects with large amounts of funding tend to use public offerings to stabilize community expectations... After raising $85 million, they still want to have a bowl of soup. This logic is quite interesting.

tbh the 2% community allocation screams "we need narrative management" more than actual altruism... 85M already raised and *now* they remember retail exists? show me the vesting schedule or it's just performative theater
