Live: AI Agents and Onchain Privacy Discussion

As our customer service team works through your reports, please keep in mind that submitting a pending USDC report is not a guarantee for automatically approved payouts. These labels have undergone or will undergo standard Quality Assurance reviews. Only approved labels will be paid out.

Submitting a report helps us investigate any unpaid balance that may still be outstanding. It does not guarantee that the reported amount will be confirmed or paid.

If you have already submitted a report, no further action is required unless our team contacts you for additional information.

Sapien PoQ Launch: App Closing and USDC Reporting

Proof of Quality is almost here. As we finalize the protocol for launch, the current Sapien app will be closing down.

Task access closes at the time of this announcement. See below for details on pending USDC payouts and unstaking.

We’ll share launch details and access information soon.

If you have pending USDC that has not been paid out, you must report it during the coming week. Beyond this, the team is working hard to resolve any outstanding issues related to pending tasks.

Reporting opens: March 5th, 5pm EST
Reporting closes: March 11th, 5pm EST

Submit your report through our standard customer service channels. https://sapien.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

Include:

  • Your account identifier (email/username and wallet address if applicable)
  • The total pending amount shown in the app
  • Any other relevant details that help us verify the claim.
  • Reports submitted outside the reporting window may not be eligible for review as we wind down the current app’s payout workflows.

If you already have a report sent to us, we will get back to you!

Unstaking will remain available after task access closes. At this time, there is no deadline for unstaking.

Questions about unstaking can be directed to our customer support. Unstaking related issues will continue to be handled after the pending USDC deadline.

PoQ is protocol infrastructure that turns quality judgments into verifiable, onchain signals for AI. Contributors stake, validators reach consensus, and the result gets attested permanently.

Human or AI. Any data type. Any pipeline.

We’re in final audits before launch. Get on the early adopters list for priority access when we go live.

Sapien Roadmap: Proof of Quality for AI

Most AI failures are not “mystery bugs.” They are predictable outcomes of unverified judgments made somewhere in data capture, evaluation, or review. Proof of Quality is built to make those judgments auditable and accountable.

Today we are publishing the Sapien roadmap so builders can see exactly what is being shipped, when, and why. It is organized around one goal: make Proof of Quality a drop in primitive for any AI pipeline: Sapien.io/roadmap

Q1 is about hardening the core and shipping the developer surface area. The protocol needs to be stable, inspectable, and predictable before it is scalable.

If you are building systems where “trust me, bro” is not an acceptable quality guarantee, join the waitlist to get early access or email [email protected] if you want to build with the team.

Sapien Team Takeover: AMA with JP Melanson

Time to reveal this week’s Sapien team member for the Discord Takeover: Jean-Philippe Melanson, Software Engineer at Sapien. JP is building Sapien’s Proof of Quality system, the foundation that helps us measure, validate, and continuously improve what “good” looks like across the product.

JP is happy to take questions on AI applied to real product workflows, product development in a fast moving startup, practical UX decisions that compound over time, and where blockchain architectures do and do not make sense when building for scale. If you want to dig into how we translate technical choices into product outcomes, bring your sharpest questions.

As always, your questions will be collected, and the most common ones will be answered live on Friday at 12:00 pm Eastern in the #🎙️┃team-ama channel!

Sapien: Fixing Bad Data Impacting Real World

Did you know that since the start of the 2025 school year, there have been as many as 19 cases of autonomous vehicles ignoring school bus stop signs while children were getting on or off the bus in Austin, Texas alone?

We do. Proof of Quality fixes this.

We're finally ready to unveil what we've been working on. Over the next weeks, we will be introducing in detail how we're approaching the ever-growing issue of bad quality data in datasets that can have real world consequences.

To kick us off, check out our Founder & CEO Rowan Stone's article on the how and why, and especially the “why now?” of Proof of Quality right here:
