Sogni AI is officially stepping into the spotlight. The decentralized creative-AI platform has announced that it’s going live on mainnet and it’s not easing in quietly. The SOGNI token will launch on July 2 at 12 PM UTC with listings on three major centralized exchanges: Kraken, MEXC, and Gate.io. Just a few days later, it’ll also make its debut on Aerodrome (Base) and IguanaDEX (Etherlink), giving the token solid liquidity across both centralized and decentralized platforms.
A Big Step for Decentralized AI
This launch isn’t just about a token. Sogni AI is introducing an open, permissionless GPU-worker network designed for creators who want to run generative-AI models without relying on big, centralized platforms.
Users will be able to submit AI jobs through one of Sogni’s three ready-to-use dApps Sogni Web, Sogni Pocket, and Sogni Studio while workers can earn SOGNI tokens by supplying GPU power. It’s a simple idea with a big promise: giving creators more control and letting contributors get rewarded directly for powering the network.
The mainnet will debut on both Base currently one of the most popular Ethereum-compatible Layer 2s and Etherlink, an EVM-compatible chain built on Tezos Smart Rollups. This dual launch opens the door to a much wider user base, combining the speed and liquidity of Base with Tezos’s strong creative and developer communities.
How SOGNI Powers the Network
The SOGNI token isn’t just another digital asset. It’s the backbone of the Sogni ecosystem, supporting rendering jobs, rewarding artists and GPU workers, and unlocking extra features on the platform.
To make it friendly for both Web2 and crypto-native users, Sogni uses a dual-token setup:
- SOGNI tokens are fully transferable and used for staking, rendering, governance, and deeper platform functions.
- Spark points are fixed-value credits you can earn or buy in-app, making it easy for everyday users to jump in without navigating DeFi complexities.
With the mainnet launch, Sogni is rolling out wallet support, staking, Spark Point integration, and a leaderboard reward system all designed to build a vibrant, creator-owned economy.
A Token With Real Utility
What makes this interesting is how SOGNI is tied directly to real usage. Creators spend tokens to pay for rendering, storage, and NFT minting, while node operators stake SOGNI to secure workloads. If their performance drops or they try to cheat the system, they get slashed. But operators who perform well earn higher priority and bigger rewards.
On top of that, governance is baked into the token. Holders can propose upgrades, vote on key protocol decisions, and even participate in dispute resolution. New tokens are also minted and distributed to the people who keep the ecosystem alive node operators, creators, model developers, and liquidity providers.
Where to Find SOGNI
Starting July 2 at 12 PM UTC, SOGNI will be listed on:
- Kraken
- MEXC
- Gate.io
Shortly after, decentralized exchange trading will go live on Aerodrome and IguanaDEX, giving users more flexibility in how they buy, trade, and interact with the token.
Why This Matters
Sogni AI is trying to build something bigger than another AI tool. It’s aiming for a decentralized creative ecosystem where artists, developers, and GPU operators actually share in the value they help create. By launching on multiple chains and listing on top-tier exchanges from day one, the project is making a statement: it wants to be taken seriously in both the AI and crypto worlds.
The combination of on-chain governance, real token utility, and a creator-first approach makes this launch one to watch especially as decentralized AI continues to heat up.
