Sogni Supernet Powers Up: Kontext, Krea, Chroma, and Super App Hackathons

Hi Sognians!

The team has been heads-down shipping nonstop since our last update, and the results speak for themselves. We’ve massively upgraded the Supernet’s capabilities, expanded our global presence, and rewarded thousands of you for helping us build this ecosystem. Here’s the high-level summary of what we’ve accomplished together.

For Artists & Creators:

• Four Game-Changing Models: A new suite of creative tools is now at your fingertips, led by the revolutionary Flux.1 Kontext for editing and remixing images with plain English, Flux.1 Krea for photorealism, and two versions of Chroma (v46 [flash] for rapid exploration and v48 [detail] for final assets).
• Seamless Web2 Payments: Premium Spark is live, enabling you to purchase render credits with any credit/debit card in 195 countries and 135 currencies—no crypto wallet needed.
• Photobooth Upgrades: The Sogni Photobooth app, a hit at our global events, has been upgraded with Kontext for fun group photos and Krea for beautiful upscaling and enhancement.
• Expanded Model Library: We've shipped 12 new Stable Diffusion models to both the Relaxed and Fast Supernets for even more artistic styles.

For Workers & Stakers:

• Leaderboard Payouts: The 30 million SOGNI from Season 1 have been airdropped, and the 10 million SOGNI from Season 2 will be claimable starting October 6th.
• Airdrop Season 3 is Live: A new season has started with another 10 million SOGNI up for grabs, with the largest portion of them going to the staking leaderboard.
• New Fast Worker Dashboard: Fast Workers can now see a daily breakdown of their earnings by token type to better track their leaderboard performance.
• Next-Gen GPU Support: The Fast Worker client now supports the latest Nvidia series 50 Blackwell GPUs, including the RTX 5090.
• Fast Worker NFTs Sold Out: All 999 Mainnet Fast Worker Prospect NFT licenses have been claimed, showing incredible demand to power the Supernet.

For Our Community & Partners:

• Global Event Tour: The team has been on the road with successful events at WebX Tokyo, Coinfest Bali, Taipei Blockchain Week, and Korea Blockchain Week. Now, we are in Singapore in force for TOKEN2049!
• Fostering New Developers: We co-sponsored a major hackathon with Base and Virtuals Protocol at one of the world's top engineering schools, NTU.
• Aethir Partnership: We’ve partnered with fellow DePIN leader Aethir on an epic community airdrop and NFT collection, which has now concluded.

That’s the summary, but the real magic is in the details. Dive in below to see exactly how these new tools can transform your workflow and what our community has already started creating with them. Keep building.

Meet the models for every stage of creation:

• Kontext lets you start from any image and make precise, plain-English edits while preserving identity and character consistency.
• Krea [dev] delivers tasteful, commercially-ready photorealism (industry-leading natural skin, natural light, strong text).
• Chroma v48 [detail] pushes unconstrained creativity with exquisite micro-detail for final assets; and Chroma v46 [flash] is the turbo sibling for rapid exploration, full creative range.
• In addition, Kontext has Built-in power tools (Auto-Refresh, Kontext-Fill, two-image blend) which let you stack targeted edits fast without rebuilding the whole scene.

Note: FLUX Kontext and Flux Krea only run on the Fast Supernet as premium licensed models which require Premium Spark or SOGNI token to use.

We've loaded up Sogni with 12 fresh models ready across Relaxed and Fast Supernet, as well as in Sogni Photobooth.

Go Explore: 7 models just landed on Relaxed Supernet:

• Analog Madness v2
• Animagine XL 4.0
• CyberRealistic v9 + XL v6
• Hyphoria Real [Illustrious] v0.5
• Pony Realism v2.3 Ultra
• Starlight XL 星光 Animated v3

Those 7 + 5 SDXL Turbo models added to Fast Supernet + Photobooth:

• FenrisXL
• Real Dream v1
• RealVisXL v4
• WildCardX v4 + RunDiffusion
• epiCRealismXL VXI-aBEAST_4S

Sogni SDK took center stage as we sponsored NTU's Web3 Hackathon with Base and Virtual Protocol (a top #4 engineering school globally!)

Students had one week to build the gen AI app of their dreams for a shot at $4,200 in prizes. Submissions were competitive, from Dungeons & Dragons character profile creator to a Localized Fashion Lookbook, the students knocked it out of the park. The top teams were given a token grant to continue their work and potentially be featured in Sogni's Super Apps page. Stay tuned!

For the event, Team Sogni also vibe coded and open-sourced a "Tattoo Idea Generator" app that students can took apart and explored. It was written in only 8 hours!

The race continues: 10,000,000 SOGNI will go to the top 2,500 users across all leaderboards by the end of this season. You can enter the airdrop competition every 6 weeks!

🏁 Season 3 runs until Monday, November 3, at UTC Midnight.

🎨 Artists, your creation method matters:

• Use Rewarded Spark Points → 1x points
• Use Premium Spark Points (purchased Spark) → 7x points
• Use SOGNI tokens → 10x points

💻 Workers:

• Your rank rises with every premium job your machine powers.
• New: to avoid free Daily Boost farming, only Premium Spark and SOGNI use results in leaderboard points for Workers.

🔒 Stakers:

• In Season 3, 30% of the airdrop is allocated to the staking leaderboard.
• The more SOGNI you stake, the greater your yield.

For Stakers: Secure Your Share of the Airdrop

This season, the stakes are higher. The Staking Leaderboard will receive the single largest allocation of the airdrop prize pool: a massive 33% of the 10 million SOGNI. To help you maximize your rank, Fast Workers can now enable ‘auto-stake-your-earnings’ on the Sogni Dashboard. Activating this feature automatically boosts your SOGNI earnings by 17.65%, giving you a significant competitive edge.

For Artists: Take Control of the Supernet

You now have granular control over your render jobs. Love a specific worker's speed and style? Want to skip an underperforming one on a large batch? Use these new prompt flags to curate your own personal Supernet:

• Target specific workers with --workers=WORKER_USERNAME
• Skip specific workers with --skip-workers=WORKER_USERNAME

For Workers: A Powerful New Dashboard & Advanced Config

We’ve rolled out two major upgrades for our Fast Worker community. First, an enhanced management dashboard with new charting that gives you a daily breakdown of your earnings by token type. Second, for those who want maximum control, we’ve published new documentation on Advanced Configuration to fine-tune which models your rig hosts and how it operates on the network.

We linked up with Aethir because of the same brain, same mission: open, community-first, no walled gardens. To kick it off, we ran a one-time airdrop (now closed) that let Aetherians ape into Sogni via a special NFT; instant perks like priority access, Spark savings, and a future gated Discord channel. If you caught the drop, welcome to the fast lane 🫡

After Cannes, we teamed up with Tezos to bring Sogni Photobooth to Hanoi for Good Morning Vietnam, and also to Japan for WebX 2025. Vietnam and Japan really turned up—people transformed themselves and left with their own printed keepsake! Huge thanks to the Tezos team for helping us share our vision all the way to Asia.

Join us at Dreamhaus as Sogni AI, TZ APAC, Nosana, and OpenGPU close out TOKEN2049 and kick off the Singapore F1 weekend. Expect an evening of food, drinks, and connections — plus a hands-on vibe coding workshop, unfiltered insights from AI founders, and AI-reimagined portraits at the Sogni Photobooth.

Capacity is limited, so RSVP now to secure your spot.

Premium Sparks are available for purchase through our native and web apps. These generation credits are used for paying for image generation jobs on the Supernet, just like regular Spark Points or SOGNI tokens—except they also give you perks! Buying Premium Spark allows you to:

• Get boosted to Premium User Tier with access to exclusive features and models
• Get image generation queue priority and much higher rate limits
• Get a 7× multiplier for the Artist leaderboard airdrops

As a reminder, Spark Points are non-transferable credits with stable value that can be earned through rewards or purchased in-app, designed for artists who just want to create—no wallets or crypto experience needed.

ℹ️ Available as an in-app purchase on Pocket and Studio, and on Sogni Web. You can top up Premium Sparks with any card via Stripe that supports 135 currencies from 195 countries.
