First activation begins with Toshi, 50K claimable spots now live
TORONTO, May 6, 2025 (Bitwire) -- Sapien, the open protocol connecting human intelligence with AI systems, has launched Sapien Squad, a new campaign on Base to rally some of the network's earliest and most active communities around a shared data foundry powering real-world AI systems.
The first activation begins with Toshi, and launched today . A snapshot of the top 100,000 wallets in the Toshi ecosystem, based on recent activity and engagement, was taken. From that group, 50,000 wallets can claim a Sapien Squad badge on a first-come, first-served basis. The badge is an NFT that confirms airdrop eligibility and unlocks access to upcoming quests, mints, and rewards.
Claiming is now live at guild.xyz/sapienguild . Minting is free for eligible wallets. Each wallet may only claim one Sapien Squad badge for the Toshi phase. If you've already claimed, you're good - no need to mint again.
Sapien Squad brings together aligned communities on Base. Think of it like a MegaZord for decentralized AI: each group contributes its own energy, ethos, and member base to build something greater than the sum of its parts. The result is an open, human-powered data foundry built to make AI more accountable, diverse, and useful.
"Sapien connects real people to the data pipelines that train AI. We're building open infrastructure for one of the most powerful forces in tech, and Base is where that work should live. It's cultural, it's collaborative, and it's home to some of the most based builders out there. We're starting with Toshi and opening the door to more," said Rowan Stone, co-founder and CEO of Sapien.
By integrating with Base, Sapien is showing what becomes possible when data infrastructure is made accessible to everyone. Through collaborative onchain activations, shared quests, token-linked NFTs, and community airdrops, Sapien Squad gives communities new ways to participate, contribute, and earn.
This is just the start. More quests, drops, and partner activations are coming soon.
