Sophon

What is Sophon?

Sophon is a modular blockchain built on the zkSync ecosystem that aims to make cryptocurrency accessible and intuitive for both newcomers and experienced users. As the first Validium powered by Avail Project on zkSync, Sophon combines zero-knowledge technology with features designed to simplify user interaction with blockchain applications.

The project’s technical architecture includes automated account creation, gasless transactions, and instant finality. These features support high-throughput consumer applications while maintaining interoperability within its elastic network. Sophon has accumulated over $450M in total value locked (TVL), establishing its presence in the Layer-2 ecosystem.

Sophon Airdrop Details

Sophon has launched their airdrop allocation checker with 9% of the total SOPH token supply allocated for distribution. The checker is now live at claim.sophon.xyz, allowing eligible participants to verify their allocations.

Sophon has announced the launch of Sophon+, a new unified rewards system that transforms fragmented crypto engagement into cohesive, portable value by building sustainable incentives for genuine users rather than short-term farmers, enabling interactions to build digital identity across the entire network where engagement in one application can unlock benefits in another. Users can sign up now for the early access waitlist.

Latest Update: Sophon’s Yapper Leaderboard Season 2 has officially concluded with the final snapshot taken, and winners will be announced after the Token Generation Event (TGE). Season 3 is now live and will run until June 21, 2025, giving participants approximately 4 weeks to compete for positions on the new leaderboard.
