Sophon is a blockchain platform designed to support on-chain entertainment and consumer applications. It is built to integrate blockchain infrastructure with real-world experiences, focusing on applications like gaming, content platforms, and ticketing. Sophon describes itself as a zero-knowledge (ZK) chain built within the broader ZK Stack and Elastic Chain framework. According to the project, it uses zero-knowledge proofs to validate transactions in a way that is intended to preserve privacy. Sophon states that it leverages Validium technology—part of the ZK Stack—for higher throughput and lower transaction fees. Its connection to the Elastic Chain is presented as a means of supporting interoperability with other ZK-based networks. While the project remains intentionally mysterious, it recently raised $10 million in a funding round led by Paper Ventures and Maven11, with participation from Spartan, SevenX, OKX Ventures, and Huobi Ventures.
