About Sophon
Sophon is a platform designed to support entertainment and digital applications, using a technology called zkSync’s Hyperchain. It’s engineered to manage a large volume of data, making it ideal for applications in areas like artificial intelligence and gaming. Sophon serves as a bridge connecting developers, who create applications, with users, who enjoy and utilize these applications. This is supported by strategic partnerships with other tech entities like zkSync, Beam, Zentry, and Aethir.
Sophon aims to ensure fair and rewarding participation for those involved in its ecosystem. Specifically, individuals who help manage the platform’s operations, known as node operators, are tasked with running a specific component called the sequencer. In return for their services, these operators collect fees and are compensated with Sophon’s own digital currency, the $SOPH token. This token rewards them for their contributions to maintaining and securing Sophon’s decentralized infrastructure.
