🛑What is Sophon (SOPH)?

🛑Key Ideas

🛑The Sophon project is a blockchain-based initiative aimed at facilitating consumer-focused applications within the ZKsync Elastic ecosystem.

As Sophon is a second-layer project built on the ZK Stack, it combines the security of the Ethereum network with a high transaction throughput and low fees.

Unlike many blockchain networks that focus on finance, Sophon is designed for entertainment applications, such as gaming and social platforms.

🛑What is Sophon?

It is a zero-knowledge chain within the ZKsync Elastic ecosystem, a network of blockchains that enjoy interoperability and leverage zero-knowledge proofs for scalability and efficiency. Sophon prioritizes consumer-focused applications, such as gaming, social media platforms, and digital experiences. Its goal is to integrate cryptocurrencies into daily activities, making them accessible to non-crypto users through user-friendly platforms.

🛑Sophon acts as Validium, one type of second-layer solution that stores data off-chain while maintaining the security of the Ethereum network to validate transactions. This allows Sophon to process transactions at a high throughput with limited costs, addressing the scalability challenges faced by first-layer solutions on Ethereum.
