# Guardian NFTs

> Guardian membership and its transition to Ethereum

Guardian memberships are ERC-721 NFTs created through the 2024 Sophon node
programme. Each NFT represents one membership, and a wallet can hold multiple
memberships.

## Current role

Sophon light-node software is retired, and running that software or delegating a
membership is no longer a condition for Guardian rewards.

The reward entitlement continues. Guardian holders receive a pro-rata share of 20%
of the original SOPH supply over the programme's three-year schedule.

## Ethereum transition

Under the announced migration process, Guardian NFT transfers are locked on the
Sophon Chain and the same number of NFTs will be recreated on Ethereum for their
holders. No manual migration or claim transaction is required for the NFT itself.

Use [claim.sophon.com](https://claim.sophon.com) to view and claim available rewards.
Reward activity moves from Sophon to Ethereum after **September 29, 2026 at 00:00
GMT**.
