Sophon 節點銷售達 6,000 萬美元，引發對代幣經濟學的擔憂

Sophon 是一個 zkSync 超鏈模組化區塊鏈，已成功售出 20 萬個節點，在不到一周的時間內籌集了 6000 萬美元。此次節點銷售採用分級定價模式，是在監管機構打壓代幣發行之際，透過節點銷售籌集資金的項目日益增長的趨勢的一部分。 Sophon 節點持有者將收到 ERC-721 代幣，該代幣授予他們某些特權，例如參與購買 SOPH 代幣的能力。然而，並非所有節點持有者都有資格成為網路上的驗證者。儘管節點銷售取得了成功，Sophon 的代幣經濟學還是受到了一些批評者的批評。

Sophon's Node Sale Reaches $60M, Raising Questions over Tokenomics

Sophon 的節點銷售達到 6000 萬美元，引發了對代幣經濟學的質疑

London, April 26, 2024 - Sophon, a hyperchain built on zkSync's technology, has successfully sold 200,000 nodes, raising $60 million in less than a week. While the sale has been hailed as a victory for community-led fundraising, the tokenomics of the project have sparked controversy.

倫敦，2024 年 4 月 26 日 - 基於 zkSync 技術構建的超鏈 Sophon 已成功售出 20 萬個節點，在不到一周的時間內籌集了 6000 萬美元。儘管此次出售被譽為社區主導籌款的勝利，但該項目的代幣經濟學引發了爭議。

Sophon's node sale employed a tiered pricing model, with nodes priced between 0.0813 and 2.0556 ETH each. However, the company emphasized that not all node owners will be validators on the network. Instead, they will receive an ERC-721 token that comes with certain privileges.

Sophon 的節點銷售採用階梯定價模式，每個節點定價在 0.0813 至 2.0556 ETH 之間。然而，該公司強調，並非所有節點所有者都會成為網路上的驗證者。相反，他們將收到帶有某些特權的 ERC-721 代幣。

For instance, they will be eligible to participate in the SOPH token sale, with 20% of the total token supply distributed to node owners over the first 36 months after launch. Users can also become validators, sharing in the network fees once Sophon launches its mainnet in Q3 2024.

例如，他們將有資格參與 SOPH 代幣銷售，在啟動後的前 36 個月內，將代幣供應總量的 20% 分配給節點所有者。一旦 Sophon 於 2024 年第三季推出主網，用戶還可以成為驗證者，分享網路費用。

Additionally, Sophon plans to conduct an airdrop to early adopters who stake BEAM (Beam network) or ZENT (Zentry).

此外，Sophon 計劃向質押 BEAM（Beam 網路）或 ZENT（Zentry）的早期採用者進行空投。

Despite the successful sale, the project has faced criticism for its tokenomics. According to the announcement, the Sophon Foundation controls 25% of the total token supply, while only 20% is allocated as node rewards.

儘管銷售成功，該項目仍因其代幣經濟學而面臨批評。根據公告，Sophon 基金會控制代幣供應總量的 25%，而只有 20% 作為節點獎勵分配。

"I will skip the Sophon node sale because I think the tokenomics are a complete failure," tweeted influential crypto analyst Bring Me Coins. "Only 20% of the total supply is allocated as node rewards? No thanks."

有影響力的加密貨幣分析師 Bring Me Coins 在推特上寫道：“我將跳過 Sophon 節點銷售，因為我認為代幣經濟學完全失敗。” “只有總供應量的 20% 被分配為節點獎勵？不，謝謝。”

Prior to the node sale, Sophon had raised $10 million in seed funding from investors such as Paper Ventures, Maven 11, Spartan, SevenX, and OKX Ventures.

在節點出售之前，Sophon 已從 Paper Ventures、Maven 11、Spartan、SevenX 和 OKX Ventures 等投資者籌集了 1000 萬美元的種子資金。

Sophon is a zkSync hyperchain, meaning it utilizes the modular architecture and open-source ZK Stack created by Matter Labs, the company behind the popular layer-2 solution zkSync.

Sophon 是一條 zkSync 超鏈，這意味著它利用了由 Matter Labs 創建的模組化架構和開源 ZK Stack，Matter Labs 是流行的第 2 層解決方案 zkSync 背後的公司。

Lead by Sebastien, a former head of DeFi at zkSync, and renowned crypto trader "Pentoshi" on Twitter, the project aims to build an entertainment ecosystem on top of zkSync's hyperchain technology. The platform leverages zkSync's account abstraction and other features to enhance the user experience and attract talent in AI, gaming, and entertainment.

該計畫由 zkSync 前 DeFi 負責人 Sebastien 和 Twitter 上著名加密貨幣交易員「Pentoshi」領導，旨在基於 zkSync 的超鏈技術建立一個娛樂生態系統。該平台利用 zkSync 的帳戶抽象化和其他功能來增強用戶體驗並吸引人工智慧、遊戲和娛樂領域的人才。

Sophon is not the first project to raise funds through a node sale. Other notable examples include Aethir, CARV, XAI Games, and Powerloom.

Sophon 並不是第一個透過節點銷售籌集資金的專案。其他著名的例子包括 Aethir、CARV、XAI Games 和 Powerloom。

While the node sale method has its advantages, it can also lead to concerns about token distribution and the potential for centralization. Experts advise investors to carefully consider the tokenomics of a project before participating in a node sale or any other fundraising event.

雖然節點銷售方式有其優點，但它也會引發對代幣分配和中心化潛力的擔憂。專家建議投資者在參與節點銷售或任何其他籌款活動之前仔細考慮專案的代幣經濟學。
