The SOPH token plays a key role, providing access to the ecosystem and incentivizing participation.

Achievements
Sophon raised $70 million through venture investments and node sales, backed by Binance Labs and Spartan. The launch in May 2025 included an airdrop of 150 million SOPH (1.5% of the total supply) for BNB holders. The community is active: 80% of posts on X express bullish sentiments.
