Developers can plug in their AI agents, models, or tools and earn token-based rewards, with usage fees and subscriptions available as optional monetization routes.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of its debut, The GRID hosts over 40 AI agents, 50 data sources, and more than 10 models, spanning both Web2 and Web3. These include tools like Napkin, a generative graphics engine, and Exa, a search startup, as well as blockchain-connected agents deployed across Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and others. <\/p>\n<p>Users can access these through Sentient Chat, an interface for discovering and combining agents into workflows capable of handling tasks such as calendar coordination, code generation, and data visualization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe GRID is the world\u2019s largest collection of open-source intelligence, and the economic rails that allow it to scale,\u201d said Himanshu Tyagi, co-founder of Sentient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a better app store for AI; it\u2019s about providing the foundational infrastructure to make open-source AI viable for the long-term,\u201d Tyagi added.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of The GRID is its emphasis on interoperability. The platform allows agents to share memory and coordinate in real time. This is intended to address a challenge in enterprise AI, where multiple \u201cassistant\u201d systems often operate in silos.<\/p>\n<p>Sentient says that over two million people have joined the waitlist for the network, with dozens of partners participating at debut. <\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s leadership frames the initiative as an effort to democratize AGI development, allowing communities to govern and benefit from the technology rather than concentrating control within a small number of private labs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/coindesk-indices\/2025\/07\/09\/the-big-bet-on-crypto-s-ai-infrastructure\">The Big Bet on Crypto\u2019s AI Infrastructure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sentient, a New York-based artificial intelligence company, has introduced The GRID, an open-source network designed for building and monetizing artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems.
