Sogni AI Launches Mainnet, Lists Token on Major Exchanges

Sogni AI, a decentralized creative AI platform, has launched its new mainnet and migrated its native token, SOGNI. The token will be listed on Kraken, MEXC, and Gate.IO from July 2, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC. This move is part of Sogni AI's strategy to build initial centralized liquidity, with plans to transition to decentralized exchanges like Base’s Aerodrome and Etherlink’s Iguana DEX for decentralized swaps in the future.

Alongside the exchange listings, Sogni AI will activate several key features, including wallet integration, the launch of Spark Point credits, staking, and leaderboard rewards. The platform will also introduce a fully equipped economic engine for on-chain AI rendering, offering incentives for both users and network participants with GPU compute power. This development is significant as AI-generated videos and images continue to improve, potentially opening up a new on-chain creator economy.

Sogni AI's new native chain will serve as the key infrastructure for generative AI models, utilizing a permissionless GPU network for shared computation. Creators will submit their prompts through production-ready apps such as Sogni Web, Sogni Pocker, and Sogni Studio. The network will be powered by volunteer operators who will receive SOGNI tokens in exchange for their computing power. The Sogni Supernet will be the native L1 chain, driving the rendering infrastructure.

In addition to its mainnet launch, Sogni AI will also offer its services on Base, an L2 chain known for its fun activities, and Etherlink, an EVM-compatible L2 that is part of the Tezos tech stack. This simultaneous launch aims to ensure both accessibility and outreach to existing communities interested in AI.

The new DePin project targets both Web2 users accustomed to fast AI performance and crypto-native communities. Sogni AI employs a dual-token reward structure, featuring the tradable SOGNI token and non-transferable Spark Coins, which can be purchased or earned within the app. SOGNI tokens will be used to pay for GPU compute and rendering, on-chain storage, and NFT minting. GPU workers can bond and stake SOGNI tokens in exchange for the right to receive tasks, with penalties for poor performance or fraud. Larger stakes will receive larger priority queues and higher rewards.

The SOGNI token will also have on-chain governance powers, allowing holders to vote on update proposals, budget allocations, and other parameter changes. The token will be minted based on economic activity and distributed to node operators, model developers, liquidity providers, and active creators. A total of 20% of the SOGNI tokens will be set aside for GPU provider rewards, with another 10% allocated to the Creator fund.

Sogni AI was launched in 2023 after raising a $2 million seed round and a $250,000 token sale. The token has been backed by Coingecko Ventures and the Gate launchpad, with a 20% token allocation for the team and early backers. This strategic move positions Sogni AI as a key player in the rapidly evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape, with a strong track record and strategic vision to navigate future challenges and achieve its goals.
