Sophon: The social Oracle Machine reconstructs user value, integrating Blockchain into every moment of daily life.
Finally, there is a product that makes me forget that I am using the blockchain - not the user on the chain, but the on-chain technology actively goes to the user (Synopsis: Twitter founder Jack Dorsey: Bitcoin "if it does not make daily payments" is only a store of value, it will fail) (Background supplement: The Block and Morph report essence speed reading: the catalyst of the consumer-grade crypto ecology, building decentralized applications for daily users) Introduction: When technology is no longer noisy, the blockchain experience ushers in a new direction In the world of cryptocurrencies, users are often asked to play the role of "technologists": they need to manage private keys, pay gas fees, understand cross-chain operations...... These complicated processes make it difficult for most ordinary people to enter the threshold of the crypto ecosystem. While most on-chain projects are still showing off complex technical leads, the Sophon Network is a breath of fresh air, redefining the relationship between consumers and blockchain with a silent revolution. Its core concept can be summarized as: "It is not the user on the chain, but the on-chain technology actively goes to the user". As Sophon founder Seb said in an interview: "Our goal is to bring the intuitive experience of Web2 to Web3 and let users interact with the blockchain as naturally as they would using social media." Sophon compares itself to the "iPhone of the crypto world", making blockchain an invisible infrastructure in digital life through simple design, insensitive technology integration, and rich entertainment scenes. While users are immersed in gaming, social, or AI interactions, the sophisticated technical mechanics of blockchain have long since receded into the background. For example, Petopia players do not have to pay gas fees when purchasing game items, and all transactions are automatically processed by the platform, leaving behind a secure, transparent, and immutable ownership guarantee. Sophon's Core Value: User Experience is Competitiveness In the pursuit of user experience, Sophon always insists on beauty and intuition as the most important productivity. Its design philosophy is similar to Apple's philosophy of "intuitive interaction". Through the collaboration of a top-notch design team, Sophon transforms traditional and complex blockchain operations into an intuitive, easy-to-understand graphical interface. For example, in the game scenario, users only need to click "Start Game", and the system can automatically complete wallet creation, gas fee payment and asset custody, the whole process does not require users to have any cryptographic knowledge, this frictionless experience is the key to attracting mainstream users. On the technology side, Sophon has made a comprehensive leap forward in user experience based on ZK Stack. First, transaction processing is moved off-chain through the Validium architecture, so that users do not need to perceive any gas fees; Secondly, using native account abstraction technology, users can even log in directly through Google accounts, and smart contracts automatically manage private keys, thus completely getting rid of the trouble caused by mnemonic words; In addition, with the help of a batch verification mechanism based on zero-knowledge proofs, transaction confirmation times are significantly shortened, comparable to the traditional payment experience. These technological innovations are not only about improving performance, but also about how to make the blockchain experience simpler than existing Web2 applications. Blockchain with ZK Stack In addition, Sophon's strategic positioning is not limited to technological upgrades, it sees entertainment as an entry point into users' lives. In multiple scenarios such as gaming, social, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets, Sophon has accurate user behavior insights. For example, chain games allow players to mint NFTs through game achievements, and all transaction fees are borne by the platform; Using zkTLS technology, users' followers and community contributions on Twitter or Discord can be converted into on-chain reputation points, unlocking exclusive benefits; At the same time, the platform plans to integrate AI agent functions, and future users may be able to participate in the on-chain prediction market through trained AI assistants. It is this "entertainment + encryption" convergence strategy that allows users to naturally receive crypto education while enjoying content, completing a soft landing from traditional cognition to the blockchain world. Market timing: Why is it Sophon's time? The current digital entertainment economy has penetrated into every corner of people's lives. According to statistics, users around the world spend an average of 6.5 hours per day in various types of digital entertainment. However, there are two major pain points in the traditional entertainment industry: on the one hand, the revenue of content creators is often greatly divided by the platform; On the other hand, it is difficult to achieve true confirmation of users' data assets. Sophon's solution directly addresses these two pain points: it not only converts digital assets such as game props and social influence into on-chain tokens, providing creators with continuous royalty sharing (such as Sophon NFT's resale right mechanism), but also uses the "social oracle" created by zkTLS technology to convert Web2 data into verifiable on-chain credentials, so that users truly control their data sovereignty. In addition, as ZK Stack technology matures, Sophon has also ushered in an inflection point in technology maturity. The modular design makes the platform have a strong horizontal expansion kit capability, which is enough to cope with high-parallel entertainment scenarios. At the same time, zero-knowledge proof technology ensures that user behavior data can be verified without revealing privacy, thus solving the long-standing data abuse problem of Web2 platforms; Off-chain computing significantly reduces transaction costs and lays the foundation for large-scale user subsidies. In terms of the convergence of AI technology and encryption technology, Sophon is taking the lead through two strategic layouts. First, the platform cooperates with Aethir to build a distributed GPU computing power pool, which greatly reduces the training cost of AI models. Second, users can train exclusive AI roles, and future users may use AI to participate in on-chain governance, such as managing DeFi positions, through natural language instructions. This "AI is user" model is expected to give birth to a new crypto economy and inject unprecedented vitality into the entire ecosystem. Ecosystem Building: Bridging Web2 and Web3 In terms of ecosystem construction, Sophon is committed to providing traditional developers with seamless on-chain tools and a complete support system. Through the launch of the "chain reform toolkit", Sophon achieved no-code deployment, and the mobile game team was able to migrate the game economy system to the chain in just 60 minutes; At the same time, the platform adopts a much lower sharing model than traditional app stores, and sets up ecological funds, focusing on front-end tracks such as AI+ games and social finance (SocialFi). The construction of the ecosystem is not only reflected in the tools and financial support, but also in the continuous emergence of benchmark cases. Mirai Labs used Pegaxy to bring 27 million users to Polygon, and now it's coming to Sophon; The Rivalry platform puts $1 billion in bets on the Sophon chain, and users can be rewarded for betting NFL events; In the field of virtual pet cultivation, Petopia allows users' social interaction data to be exchanged for limited-edition NFT pets. These success stories all demonstrate Sophon's ability to drive ecological explosiveness. In addition, Soph...
