🚨 EXPOSED BY THEIR OWN AI 🚨
What happens when an "Open Source AI" project tries to ghost its community?
Its own AI tells the truth.
Since January, 14 Turkish users have not received their @sentient_found airdrops.
Only the Turkish community was affected by this.
Despite the team saying it would be fixed many times, no steps have been taken yet.
It's March now.
Every second is critical in Web3 but nothing has changed for months.
All we have is total silence!
A thread on broken promises 🧵👇
I directly asked the Sentient Chat about this 2 month unresolved delay.
The AI didn't hold back.
It explicitly stated: "Delayed fulfillment after a public promise is generally viewed as poor communication and can erode trust." It even called the delay "longer than industry norms."
When your own product calls out your incompetence, you have a massive problem. 📉
You market yourselves as a "community first, loyal AI."
But you leave early supporters in the dark, ignoring dozens of Discord tickets.
Let’s ask the leadership:
@sandeepnailwal (Polygon Founder) @viswanathpramod (Prof at @Princeton / @PrincetonEQuad) @hstyagi (Prof & CEO at @iiscbangalore)
Why are you hiding?
Let's talk about accountability.
Prof. Pramod Viswanath and Prof. Himanshu Tyagi leverage their academic prestige to build this brand.
Is breaking public promises and ignoring users the "ethics" you teach your students at @Princeton and @iiscbangalore ?
How does an unethical breach of public trust reflect on these prestigious institutions?
We expect better from educators. 🎓👀
And what about the deep pockets funding this unacceptable behavior?
Hey @PanteraCapital, @Delphi_Digital, @TheSpartanGroup, @hiFramework, @arrington, and @FTI_US are you aware your portfolio project @sentient_found is eroding trust?
Is ghosting 14 legitimate turkish users the standard you endorse for your investments?
We’ve been waiting since January.
We verified our wallets, X, and Discord.
We opened the airdrop support tickets.
We are demanding an official statement from @sentient_found and the immediate release of our missing tokens.
Crypto community: RT this and tag the founders. Don't let them sweep this under the rug!

Waiting in constant uncertainty is honestly exhausting.
Not knowing if, when or who will answer makes it worse.
We tried every channel. We tagged. We asked politely. Most of the time, there was no response at all. It feels like our questions are just floating in the air.
The fact that we earned the Sentient AGI role already shows how long and how consistently we supported this project. You don’t get that role by accident. We were here early, we produced content and we kept contributing for a really long time.
We are not asking for anything extra. We are only asking for what was officially given.
Valuing the community starts with transparent communication, not by ignoring them.
@hstyagi@sandeepnailwal@abhishek095@shad_haq_@vivekkolli@namyura_@0xsachi@Anitahityou@oleg_golev@qzxcle
I want to explain in detail why I have been tweeting since the @SentientAGI airdrop and why I have been filling your timeline(sorry) with this issue @hstyagi@sandeepnailwal@abhishek095@shad_haq_@vivekkolli@namyura_@0xsachi@Anitahityou@oleg_golev@qzxcle
1) Discord role distributions became unbalanced in the last period and in the November distribution a regional limitation was introduced for the first time. ONLY the TURKISH community was affected by this decision. Fourteen people from the Turkish community earned the right to receive the role but could not get it only because of this regional limit. No matter how much effort we put in, we were punished just because we were in the Turkish community
After our objections the decision was changed and the announcement below was made 👇
2) After this announcement our roles were given and we were told that we would receive the reward according to our new role. Sentient postponed the TGE during this time but we kept producing content and supporting the project
3) On the airdrop day we saw that the rewards were calculated according to the old role, not the new one. I didn't think this was intentional because I never believed the Sentient team would act in bad faith. Just like in the role distribution we objected again. A new struggle started. Nobody outside the Turkish community experienced this, only these 14 people
4) We could not get any response from the team. Thanks to the Turkish moderator @scalpkripto communication was established and we were told this was a bug. We were asked to open a ticket on Discord. I opened the ticket and did not receive a single reply for days.
Should I beg more? @shad_haq_ 👇
5) During this period I wrote to Shad many times. There is no chance he did not see it but I am still ignored. He replied to some friends and only asked for X address and wallet. I already sent these, could this be the reason? maybe. Could this be the reason I waited 14 days without an answer? NEVER
6) The only person I could communicate with in the whole process was @qzxcle and I thank him. Even though I felt a bit relieved after talking to him, still not getting a clear answer doesn't fit the web3 spirit or the principles of Sentient
7) As a community we tried every way. We can't reach any team member. Our goal was never to harm the project, on the contrary we always tried to protect it from the beginning. At every step we thought about the interests of $SENT. We were careful not to act emotionally. Now we feel helpless
8) Even though the team accepted the mistake there has been no single response for 12 days. Do you know the saddest part? If we were KOLs, we would never experience this. They would definitely have reached out to us directly. I'm used to seeing this behavior in other projects but I expected Sentient to be different and I don't want to experience this here. The vision of Sentient is built on transparency and justice.
For example thousands of people worked for months to build the Sentient community and a strong community was created. Despite this I give only a 0.01% chance that this text will be read by the team. We are like invisible👻
We don't ask for anything extra. We only want the reward of the role that was officially given and normal communication. In an open source project this isn't a request, it is something that should already exist.
Please let something change now
@tmsiyahbeyaz good point Tuby community def needs some clarity on season 2 dates, details etc. the uncertainty we've been dealing with since months is frustrating🤨
When we registered, we had the Advanced AGI role, so I opened a ticket and asked Shad about it and he said it wouldn’t be an issue.
But somehow, it still became one.
Today, instead of the allocation meant for the Sentient AGI role, we received the amount allocated for Advanced AGI.
We already had to push to get the roles we were entitled to, and now it looks like we’ll have to push for the allocation we’re entitled to as well.
ENOUGH!!! yes, the @SentientAGI drop is over and there is so much unfairness that we will probably not be heard again because we are a minority. most likely we will only get help if they feel like it @abhishek095@shad_haq_@vivekkolli@namyura_@hstyagi@0xsachi@Anitahityou@oleg_golev@qzxcle@SentientEco
when the issue you see here was fixed, I was genuinely happy. I thought I would finally get the reward I deserved. my role was upgraded 2 months ago, yet I received the reward for a lower role. the difference is almost equal to the drop I received, and there are 14 of us in the same situation and somehow, all of us are from the Turkiye community
this is not about liking or disliking the drop. I only want the reward I actually earned and that the team assigned to me. that is the issue
The token economy that will power open-source AGI is here 🌐
Over the past year, we have engineered a community-first, long-term oriented system to foster open-source AI development.
