# Guardian Rewards

> Guardian reward schedule and transition to Ethereum

<Info>
  Guardian NFT holders retain a pro-rata share of **20% of the original 10 billion
  SOPH supply**, distributed over **156 weeks (three years)**.
</Info>

## What changed

The reward allocation and duration continue, but the operating requirements have
been simplified during the Sophon Chain wind-down:

* light-node software is retired;
* uptime is no longer a reward requirement;
* Full Node or Light Node delegation is no longer required;
* holders do not need to migrate Guardian NFTs manually.

The previous Full Node, Light Node, participation-bonus, uptime, and operator-
commission calculations are therefore no longer instructions a Guardian holder
must follow.

## Claiming rewards

Use [claim.sophon.com](https://claim.sophon.com) to view and claim available reward
streams.

* Rewards vest and are claimed on Sophon through **September 29, 2026 at 00:00
  GMT**.
* After that transition point, new rewards accrue and claims continue on Ethereum.
* Sophon has announced that the NFT will be recreated on Ethereum in the same holder
  wallet automatically.

<Warning>
  Withdraw any liquid SOPH claimed on the Sophon Chain before the final chain
  decommissioning date. No exact shutdown date has been announced yet.
</Warning>

See the [chain migration guide](/migration) for withdrawal routes and other managed
positions.
