Sophon mainnet will be launched this year, and the token will not support public access in the initial stage

BlockBeats news, October 9, according to official news, the Sophon mainnet is expected to be launched before December 2024. SOPH tokens will be deployed with the mainnet genesis. However, in order to ensure a stable and secure launch, the token will not support public access in the initial stage. During this period, the team will provide a gas-free experience for all users.

In addition, the official said that Sophon Guardian is the backbone of the network's operating infrastructure. Guardian has the right to run Sophon nodes through exclusive membership, which is initially bound to Sophon nodes purchased during the node sale. Starting this week, the team will announce the full list of mainnet launch partners one by one.

Previously, Binance Labs announced an investment in ZKsync "elastic chain" Sophon. The specific amount has not been disclosed. It is reported that Sophon uses Matter Labs' modular open source framework to build a second-layer network. The main network will be launched next month and the token will be deployed soon. It is reported that the total amount of financing of Sophon has exceeded 70 million US dollars so far.
