Sophon Guardians are integral to maintaining the security and decentralization of the Sophon Network.

The Sophon Guardian Program allows members to contribute to the network by:

  • Running Sophon Nodes directly, or
  • Delegating their membership to other qualified Sophon node operators

​
Guardian Membership Representation

  • Guardian memberships are represented as NFTs following the ERC-721 standard
  • Each NFT corresponds to one membership
  • Individuals can hold multiple memberships by owning multiple NFTs

​
Membership Flexibility

Holders of Guardian NFTs have the following options:

  • Operate a Sophon Node: Run and maintain a node themselves
  • Delegate Membership: Transfer operational power to trusted node operators who are already running Sophon nodes
This flexibility ensures both active participation and scalability within the Sophon Network.
