# Guardian Membership Transition

> What Guardian NFT holders need to know

<Info>
  Guardian NFT holders do not need to migrate their membership manually. Sophon has
  announced that the same number of NFTs will be recreated on Ethereum in the wallet
  that held them on Sophon.
</Info>

## Holder checklist

1. Open [claim.sophon.com](https://claim.sophon.com).
2. Claim any Guardian rewards currently available on Sophon.
3. Do not bridge or transfer the Guardian NFT as part of the migration.
4. After September 29, 2026 at 00:00 GMT, use the same portal for reward activity on
   Ethereum.

The light-node software and membership-delegation requirements from the original
programme have been retired. Holders continue to receive rewards on the original
three-year schedule without running software or maintaining a delegation.

See [Guardian Rewards](/nodes/calculating-rewards) for the transition timeline.
