Sophon, a layer-2 blockchain network, has secured fresh capital in an undisclosed token round backed by Binance. The fundraising, structured as a simple agreement for future tokens (SAFT), aims to accelerate the development of Sophon's "elastic chain." Unlike most layer-2 solutions, Sophon targets consumer-facing applications such as gambling, ticketing, and social platforms. The network, built using Matter Labs’ ZKSynch stack, differentiates itself by leveraging native account abstraction and gasless experiences. The mainnet launch is planned for next month, following previous successful funding rounds.
