Sophon Halts Chain Ops, Pivots to Base for Consumer Apps

ZKsync-based Sophon ceases chain operations to build consumer apps on Base. SOPH token value shifts to product revenue, with migration paths for users.

Woofun AI reports that the modular blockchain Sophon will discontinue its native chain operations and redirect efforts toward developing consumer-grade applications on the Base platform. The team stated, "We already have enough good blockchains, but not enough truly valuable applications," prompting a halt in further blockchain investment to concentrate resources on product development. The inaugural product is Pyre, a gamified financial application. Consequently, SOPH token utility will transition to capturing value directly from product revenues, while the official team has committed to providing asset migration solutions for node operators, token holders, and on-chain users.
