Its differentiator is zkTLS + “Social Oracle” which turns verifiable Web2 data into portable, private credentials, unlocking a new on-chain data economy and richer, reputation-aware experiences
Sophon’s blockchain is a high-performance validium built on the ZK Stack, leveraging Avail as its data availability layer. This architecture delivers the perfect balance of security, scalability, and cost-efficiency for consumer applications.
Unlike standard rollups, Sophon's Validium design offloads data storage to Avail's specialized network, significantly reducing gas fees while maintaining Ethereum's security guarantees. Combined with native account abstraction and Paymaster functionality for gasless transactions, Sophon creates a frictionless blockchain experience that feels as intuitive as Web2 but with all the benefits of decentralized ownership and verifiability.
SOPH is used in the following functions:
Gas token for all transactions on Sophon. Paymasters allow dApps to sponsor fees → gas-less UX.
Staking / PoS security – Sequencer & DA Light-/Full-Node operators stake SOPH; any holder can delegate and share fees.
Node-operator rewards – 20 % of supply emitted over 3 yrs to Guardian NFT holders running nodes.
Ecosystem / Liquidity incentives – 8 % for L1+L2 farming, future incentive programs.
Future governance & burn mechanics once sequencer decentralisation is live.
The project has raised $10.75M from the initial seed round in March 2024 where 18% of the total supply has been sold at 0.0075 USD / SOPH and 0.005 USD/SOPH. An additional $60M (with ETH price at the time of the raise) in ETH in a public node sale in May 2024 where 20% of the total supply has been sold at 0.03 USD / SOPH
As at May 29, 2025, the total supply of SOPH is 10,000,000,000. The circulating supply upon listing on Binance was 2,000,000,000 SOPH (20% of total token supply)

1. What is Sophon?
Project overview
Sophon is a platform dedicated to onboarding the next generation of crypto users through every-day useful consumer products that monetize and reward the data we all naturally produce. Sophon takes blockchain beyond speculation, powering real applications people love and use daily, without the friction of traditional crypto experiences.
Project mission
Sophon aims to redefine how crypto reaches the masses by eliminating friction in user experience and bridging the Web2–Web3 divide. It focuses on consumer applications that create lasting engagement, rather than fleeting speculative activity. The chain empowers dApps to onboard users with intuitive flows, subsidized gas, and data ownership tools—helping blockchain become invisible but indispensable. Its mission is to become the go-to blockchain for creative, user-first crypto applications.
Project value proposition
Sophon’s core value lies in making blockchain consumer-ready—gasless, fast, and intuitive. Unlike generalized L1s, Sophon builds for user-centric verticals with real adoption potential, from high-volume gaming to social loyalty and AI agents. Its super app and native infrastructure (like Sophon Paymaster and Smart Wallets) make onchain interaction feel Web2-smooth. Backed by strategic partnerships and a powerful narrative engine, it’s positioned as the first zk-chain purpose-built for mainstream entertainment.
Project Key Highlights
Mass Adoption Traction: Sophon has processed over 50M transactions with 80,000+ daily active wallets, and secured millions in TVL across 180,000 nodes sold.
Consumer-First Tech Stack: Built on the ZK Stack with native account abstraction, Sophon supports gasless transactions and embedded smart wallets designed for seamless onboarding.
Social Oracle & Data Hub: Sophon is building a Social Oracle and zkTLS-based Data Hub to ingest real-world user behavior from platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify. This unlocks real-time, provable offchain data for onchain use—powering everything from personalized AI agents to loyalty scoring and social credit.
Ecosystem Growth: With 50+ partners onboarded—including Trial Xtreme, Rivalry, Open Ticketing, GAMP, and Aethir—Sophon is positioning itself as the de facto entertainment layer for Web3.
