# What Is Sophon?

> Sophon's current product-led direction

Sophon is a technology studio building onchain consumer experiences across crypto,
finance, and AI. It has moved away from operating a general-purpose blockchain and
is building its new applications on Base.

## From infrastructure to products

Sophon v1 launched as a general-purpose ZK Stack chain positioned toward
entertainment and consumer applications. After shipping the chain and supporting
applications on it, Sophon shifted its focus from operating chain infrastructure to
building and operating consumer products directly.

The legacy Sophon Chain is now being wound down in a planned transition. New
deposits are disabled, while holders have time to claim rewards and withdraw assets.

## First product and SOPH model

The first announced application in the new model is the upcoming **Pyre** payment
product, which is designed to combine everyday card use with onchain financial and
entertainment mechanics.

The planned SOPH model links token utility to product revenue. A portion of profits
from Sophon products is intended to fund open-market SOPH purchases, with purchased
tokens permanently burned.
