Sophon, a modular blockchain based on zkSync, has released a draft economic model for its token SOPH. The specific allocation and unlocking information are as follows:
1. 20% for nodes (released in 36 months, and locked for an additional 3 months after receiving);
2. 25% for the Sophon Foundation (locked for 12 months, then released in 36 months);
3. 20% for seed contributors (locked for 12 months, then released in 24 months);

Sophon added that SOPH's final token economic model, allocation and lockup may change before the mainnet launch, which is expected to be in the third quarter of 2024. According to previous news, Sophon completed a $10 million financing in March this year, with Paper Ventures, Maven 11, The Spartan Group, SevenX Ventures, OKX Ventures, HTX Ventures and other investors. In the middle of this month, zkSync DeFi head @0xsebastiena announced that he would leave at the end of April and focus on building Sophon.
