SATO’s performance demonstrates a rising appetite for AI companions that blend personalization, utility, and on-chain participation.
Demand for Web3-powered AI companions is growing, as evidenced by Kindred’s latest SATO companion presale generating $1.85 million in revenue and selling 268,000 units in one week.
In a market where profitability in Web3 remains rare, SATO’s performance demonstrates a rising appetite for AI companions that blend personalization, utility, and on-chain participation. The response signals a clear shift in how consumers are beginning to interact with AI-driven digital characters.
Repeatable Model Supported by Global IP
SATO, the official mascot of the Memecore ecosystem, is the first of 25-plus IPs Kindred will introduce throughout 2026. Each companion carries its own identity, fanbase, and utility.
This multi-IP structure positions Kindred to grow a large ecosystem of character-driven AI companions that can scale across markets and demographics.
Foundation for Kindred’s 2026 Expansion
With the presale completed, Kindred is preparing reward distribution and further ecosystem updates on the companion platform. The SATO presale results mark an early milestone in the company’s broader plan to build one of the world’s largest AI companion universes supported by on-chain systems and global IP.
