SENT contract upgrade in progress: Gate Perp DEX launched, new tokens synchronized across multiple platforms

SENT’s transition from pre-market perpetual contracts to official contracts is imminent. According to the latest news, Gate will complete the migration of SENTUSDT pre-market perpetual contracts to official perpetual contracts by 23:00 (UTC+8) tonight, and Gate Perp DEX will simultaneously launch the SENTUSDT perpetual trading pair. This is not only a significant upgrade for SENT on the Gate platform but also reflects the rapid market enthusiasm for this new token.

Practical Changes in the Contract Upgrade

Key upgrades of the official contract

According to the announcement, the official contract has the following changes compared to the pre-market version:

• Leverage range expanded to 1-50x for long and short positions
• Risk limit trading parameters will be adjusted accordingly
• Existing trades and positions will remain unaffected during migration, ensuring a smooth transition

This means traders will have more flexible leverage options and improved risk management mechanisms.

Synchronous launch of Gate Perp DEX

In addition to the official contract launch, Gate Perp DEX will also simultaneously introduce the SENTUSDT trading pair. This provides users with multiple trading channels, allowing trading on traditional perpetual contract platforms as well as participating on decentralized contract platforms.

A True Reflection of Market Enthusiasm

SENT’s rapid rise is not limited to the Gate platform. According to the latest information, on the same day, several major exchanges are making related moves:

This concentrated platform deployment indicates that SENT has gained recognition from mainstream market exchanges.

Market Heat from Price Performance

SENT’s market performance also confirms this. According to the latest data:

• Current price: $0.022097
• 24-hour increase: 14.22%
• 1-hour increase: 4.72%
• Market cap: $159.94 million
• 24-hour trading volume: $20.76 million

Although SENT experienced significant declines over the past 7 and 30 days (down 51.66% and 51.90% respectively), the strong rebound in the short term indicates that market interest is rapidly recovering.

Project Background Support

SENT is a project that only launched in November 2025, but its background is quite robust. According to public information, Sentient is building the world’s first open, community-driven Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), directly competing with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. This positioning has attracted support from top institutions such as Founders Fund (Peter Thiel) and Pantera.

Potential Market Impact

From a personal perspective, the contract upgrade and multi-platform simultaneous launch may trigger several chain reactions:

First, the official contract launch marks SENT’s transition from the testing phase to maturity, which typically attracts more professional traders.

Second, the opening of 50x leverage may increase trading volatility and liquidity, potentially attracting more arbitrageurs in the short term.

Third, multi-platform deployment lowers entry barriers for users, helping to expand the trading base.

Summary

SENT’s contract upgrade and multi-platform deployment reflect its rapid integration into the mainstream market. From pre-market contracts to official contracts, from a single platform to multiple exchanges, SENT is gradually improving its trading ecosystem. Tonight’s upgrade, while technical, indicates market recognition behind it. For traders, it’s more important to focus on liquidity performance and price trends after the upgrade rather than blindly chasing highs. The market enthusiasm is real, but risk management remains equally crucial.
