TLDRGuardians get 20% of total SOPH supply. Half comes automatically through Full Node delegation. To unlock your complete allocation, also delegate your membership to a Light Node. Simple path to maximum rewards.
Overview
The total SOPH supply is 10 billion (10,000,000,000)
Rewards are distributed weekly over the course of 156 weeks (3 years)
You must maintain active status to qualify for rewards (meaning you have delegated your membership or memberships)
Minimum Uptime is currently set at 60%
Full and Light Node operators might have set a % commission
Guardian NFT claiming auto-delegates to the current Full Node (Sophon-managed), making you eligible for half (50%) of your pro-rata reward allocation
To receive your full 20% allocation, delegate to both Full Nodes (automatic) andLight Nodes (manual)
Delegating to a Light Node is easily done via the Guardian App
Your reward rate will be adjusted if you remove delegation from either Node Type
Rewards will only be viewable as of 15/01/25 and claimable around the time of TGE (which should occur End H1 2025)
Reward Calculation MethodologyBelow is how your weekly rewards are calculated based on your delegation status. As long as you maintain active delegation to both Full and Light Nodes, you’ll earn your pro-rata share of the 20% token supply.

Weekly Reward = (SOPH Total Supply × Allocation % × Your active NFT Memberships) ÷ (Total active NFT Memberships × Total Weeks)
Where
Total Supply = 10 billion (10,000,000,000)
Allocation % = 5% for Full Node Delegation + 10% for Light Node Delegation + 5% Bonus for participating = 20% total
A total of 5% of the SOPH supply is allocated to active NFT delegations to Full Nodes. This will be distributed proportionally over 3 years, with approximately 0.032% distributed weekly.
Each Guardian Membership NFT is automatically delegated to a Full Node when claimed.
Steps
Start with total supply: 10 billion SOPH
Multiply by allocation: 10 billion × 0.05
Multiply by your delegated NFT memberships
Divide by total active NFT memberships × 156 weeks
Multiply by (100 - operator commission)/100
IMPORTANTWhile there is only a single Full Node operated by Sophon, its commission is ZERO
A total of 10% of the SOPH supply is allocated to active NFT delegations to Light Nodes. This will be distributed proportionally over 3 years, with approximately 0.064% distributed weekly.
A total of 5% of the SOPH supply is allocated to active delegated memberships (regardless of being to a Full Node, Light Node, or both). This will be distributed proportionally over 3 years, with approximately 0.032% distributed weekly.
Memberships that are not active for a given week will not receive the weekly reward.
Node Operators (whether Light or Full) can set a commission rate. When they do, a portion of the weekly rewards is allocated to the operator, while the remainder is distributed directly to active membership owners.
Rewards are calculated and distributed on a weekly basis, every Wednesday at 00:00 UTC. After calculation, our systems begin creating the reward stream for each destination, represented by vSOPH (Vesting SOPH), an ERC20 like token that is non-transferable. Bear in mind this process can take some time – it’s normal for rewards to appear later in the day on Wednesday. Each reward stream has the following properties:
A specific amount of SOPH
A start date (that Wednesday at 00:00 UTC)
A 90-day cliff – the stream does not begin vesting during this period
A 7-day vesting period – meaning the rewards become fully available over the course of 7 days. For example, if you claim halfway through the vesting period (after 3.5 days), you’ll have access to half of your rewards. You don’t lose the rest – you’ll just need to wait the remaining 3.5 days for the full amount to vest. You can claim a stream as many times as you like until it is fully vested and claimed.
All rewards accrued by Guardians and Operators before the SOPH TGE (i.e., from January 1st to May 27th) are made available on the TGE date according to the following properties:
A specific amount of SOPH (the total rewards accrued during that period)
A start date of May 28th at 00:00 UTC
A 90-day lockup
A 1-second vesting period – meaning once the 90-day cliff ends, the entire stream becomes immediately claimable.
