Sophon Announces Mainnet Launch Set For December 18

Entertainment-focused blockchain platform Sophon announced its plans to launch its mainnet on December 18th.

The mainnet will provide users access to a variety of features, including ticketing, mobile games, AI agent platforms, prediction markets, exchanges, bridges, a memecoin launchpad, and more. Following the launch, the platform will deliver a curated entertainment experience, with established games deploying on the blockchain.

In conjunction with the announcement, Sophon shared key dates for Guardians. Know Your Customer (KYC) registration will open on December 4th, with the Guardian application launching on December 18th. From December 18th to 31st, the window for claiming and delegating Guardian Membership will be open. Starting January 1st, Node rewards will begin accruing while claiming and delegation will remain open. The Token Generation Event (TGE) and the claim for accrued rewards are scheduled for Q1 2025.

The SOPH token will be deployed alongside the mainnet on December 18th in two phases. The first phase will provide a fully gasless experience to test the network’s stability. During the Genesis phase, SOPH will be live but non-transferable to ensure a secure and stable launch. Guardians will begin accruing rewards from January 1st, even during this non-transferable period. In the second phase, expected to start in Q1 2025, SOPH will become fully transferable and will continue to serve as the network’s gas token. The vesting period for investors and the team will commence when the official TGE begins.
