Unlock Schedule
Sophon (SOPH) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of November 11, 2026, 4.67 billion of the 10 billion SOPH (46.73%) have been released. The remaining 5.33 billion SOPH, 900.92 million of them estimated, are worth about $7.08 million at today's price (103.43% of the market cap). Of these, 2.61 billion SOPH release over the next 12 months, mostly from Seed Investors — 18% of original supply and Core Contributors — 25% of original supply. Today's release is 7.35 million SOPH (1.78 million of them estimated) from Core Contributors — 25% of original supply, Ecosystem Reserve — 26% of original supply, Node Operators and Guardians — 20% of original supply and Seed Investors — 18% of original supply. SOPH is fully unlocked in May 2030; after that date the schedule has no further dated releases.
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
SOPH launched with an original issuance of 10 billion tokens. Its published allocation set aside 25% for core contributors, 20% for Guardian rewards, 18% for seed investors, and 26% for an ecosystem reserve. The remaining 11% covered liquidity-mining programs and airdrops. These figures describe the original issuance; permanent burns change the number of tokens that remain. The allocation also has different vesting schedules, meaning some tokens become available gradually rather than all at once. (docs.sophon.xyz)
The token’s first economic model centered on the chain. SOPH paid gas fees, while staking and Guardian rewards supported participation in the network. As Sophon winds the chain down, gas and staking are being phased out. The Guardian program follows a separate course: its holders are due a share of the original 20% allocation over three years, with reward activity moving from Sophon’s chain to Ethereum. Sophon has retired the light-node software, so Guardian holders no longer need to operate it to receive scheduled rewards. (docs.sophon.xyz)
Under the announced new model, Sophon plans to use a portion of profits from its products for open-market SOPH purchases. It then plans to burn those purchased tokens permanently rather than distribute them to holders. The first announced burn covered more than 46.5 million SOPH from unused staking rewards and node buybacks. Future product-funded purchases depend on the products and the profits they produce.

Values at $0.001 per SOPH (November 11, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after October 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
Sophon originally issued 10 billion SOPH across seven published allocations. Farming airdrops unlocked at launch, while investor, contributor, ecosystem and Guardian tokens follow different vesting schedules; the Guardian monthly curve is an estimate of delayed weekly rewards. Named Binance campaigns and ecosystem spending have payment details or funding relationships that remain unresolved, so they must not be added to the original supply. The chart can show the dated unlocks separately from the original mint, but an exact current supply and cumulative burn total could not be verified from the reviewed primary sources.
- Ecosystem Reserve — 26% of original supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Binance additional marketing campaigns after listing — 0.5% of original supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Binance additional marketing campaigns six months after listing — 1.5% of original supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Legacy SOPH staking fee rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
