SOPH staking will be discontinued when the Sophon Chain is decommissioned. Staked positions are transitioned to Ethereum automatically; do not attempt a manual migration.

​
What stakers need to do

  1. Open claim.sophon.com.
  2. Check for unlocked SOPH and outstanding staking rewards.
  3. Claim any available amount. SOPH unstaked during the transition is claimable on Ethereum mainnet.
Staking remains available during the chain wind-down. The final vesting unlock on the Sophon Chain is scheduled for September 29, 2026 at 00:00 GMT. After that, vesting and claims continue on Ethereum without user action.

​
What is migrated automatically

  • Staked SOPH positions are migrated to Ethereum automatically.
  • vSOPH, the vesting representation of SOPH, is migrated automatically.
  • Existing vesting schedules continue without interruption.
Liquid SOPH is different: it does not require a token migration because SOPH is native to Ethereum. A liquid Sophon balance only needs to be bridged out of the legacy chain.

​
Legacy staking model

Staking was introduced to support the planned cryptoeconomic decentralization of the Sophon Chain’s sequencing function. Rewards were tied to chain gas fees and used an inverse-square-root utilization model. Because the chain is being decommissioned, that sequencer-staking roadmap and its gas-funded reward utility are being retired. The unutilized staking-reward pool and node buybacks contribute to the first announced burn of more than 46.5 million SOPH. Future SOPH burns are intended to be funded by a portion of profits from Sophon products. See the full chain migration guide for dates and withdrawal routes.
