Sophon Q1 2025 Review: Solidifying the Foundation, Gearing Up for Growth

Sophon’s vision is clear: to make crypto-driven entertainment experiences accessible, whether you are a seasoned expert or just stepping into the field.

The first quarter of 2025 has been productive for Sophon. In a market environment where many crypto projects are obsessed with memes and short-term gains, our team has remained focused on building robust infrastructure to drive real user adoption and consumer engagement.

We have made significant progress across multiple dimensions, laying a solid foundation for Sophon’s long-term vision. Here’s a recap of the key advancements we achieved together in Q1:

Guardian and Infrastructure Updates

Guardian Node Membership Incentive Program

The Guardian membership rewards officially began accumulating on January 1, 2025. After two weeks of node claiming and delegation, the Guardian App has fully displayed earnings data since January 15.

• Guardians, as core participants in the Sophon node network, have exclusive rights to operate Sophon nodes. The first batch of Guardian identities originated from nodes purchased during the node sales period in April 2024.
• Guardians can choose to run Sophon light nodes themselves or delegate the operation rights to verified node operators.
• Currently, light nodes primarily perform key data availability sampling tasks, with more features to be unlocked in the future.
• The Guardian rewards pool accounts for 20% of the total supply of SOPH tokens.

Rabby Wallet Integration

We have further expanded the accessibility of our ecosystem by integrating the Rabby wallet, providing users with another trusted wallet option to manage their Sophon assets.

Dune Analytics Data Dashboard Launch

Transparency has always been a core value of Sophon. We are excited to announce that key data from the Sophon network is now fully integrated into the Dune Analytics platform, allowing the community to track and verify in real-time.

Users can now explore various metrics through the public dashboard, verify network performance, and gain insights into the growth and activity of the Sophon ecosystem.

Sophon OS Early Bird Access Opened

We are thrilled to announce: Sophon OS ------ a full-stack crypto operating system for users, is now open for early experience applications! Sophon OS is a platform designed for crypto consumer experiences. Users can explore content, verify value, and earn rewards through online behavior.

Platform Ecosystem Growth

Liquidity Mining Opportunities Fully Upgraded

We have completed a significant expansion of the Sophon Farming module, now launching multiple high-yield incentive pools, with some pools supporting up to 4x SP reward multipliers.

• stATH/ETH
• ETH/OPN
• ETH/MUP
• USDC/USDT
• BEAM/ETH
• ETH/USDC
• ETH/USDT

This not only provides the community with more flexible earning options but also further enhances the overall liquidity and stability of the platform, supporting the continuous upgrade of Sophon’s DeFi infrastructure.

DefiLlama Integration Launched

Sophon Farm is now officially integrated with DefiLlama, significantly enhancing the transparency and market influence of the Farming module.

Users can stake assets with one click to earn Sophon Points (SP), which can be exchanged for $SOPH tokens in the future.

Network Growth Performance Strong The Sophon network has maintained steady growth, with total transaction volume exceeding 50 million in the first quarter of 2025.

With several major collaborations set to launch in the second quarter, network activity and transaction volume are expected to continue rising. (Data source: @Dune)

Additionally, the Sophon network currently has 8,700 nodes successfully deployed, driving the operation of the entire ecosystem. This scale not only builds a solid network foundation but also lays a strong groundwork for future growth and decentralization.

Major Collaborations and Ecosystem Application Progress

OPEN Protocol Strategic Acquisition

To promote the large-scale adoption of blockchain technology, OPEN Protocol has partnered with CM.com to put 19 million ticketing data on-chain each year, without end users needing to perceive the existence of blockchain technology.

This reflects our ideal path for crypto technology adoption: optimizing existing experiences rather than artificially creating barriers.

Sophon Intelligence Agency (SIA) Officially Established

We have officially launched the Sophon Intelligence Agency (SIA) initiative, with a $5 million investment to accelerate the development of AI Agents on-chain.

Noon Capital Public Testing Launched

Financial innovation continues to break through, with @noon_capital officially launching public testing in the Sophon ecosystem, introducing its intelligent and fair stablecoin yield mechanism.

Rivalry's SOPHNUTZ Event

We have made breakthrough progress in our collaboration with Rivalry, a top global esports event platform, achieving seamless on-chain migration for its million-plus users. The "SOPHNUTZ" on-chain interactive event launched this quarter, where @Rivalrybet officially kicked off the "SOPHNUTZ" event to reactivate its massive user base through on-chain interaction. In this event, all users who have placed bets on the Rivalry platform received an airdrop of $SOPHNUTZ ------ a Soulbound type ERC token. Users can destroy this token to participate in the Plinko game and win rewards through the leaderboard. The event successfully attracted tens of thousands of new wallet addresses, with most users completing crypto interactions without awareness, perfectly realizing the concept of "invisible" user experiences in blockchain technology.

Petopia Hall of Fame Event Concludes Successfully

With the launch of the Sophon mainnet, Petopia successfully hosted the Hall of Fame event with a prize pool of up to $150,000, igniting fierce competition among community players in this high-energy roguelike shooting game.
