Sophon 节点销售达到 6000 万美元，引发对代币经济学的担忧

Sophon 是一个 zkSync 超链模块化区块链，已成功售出 20 万个节点，在不到一周的时间里筹集了 6000 万美元。此次节点销售采用分级定价模式，是在监管机构打压代币发行之际，通过节点销售筹集资金的项目日益增长的趋势的一部分。 Sophon 节点持有者将收到 ERC-721 代币，该代币授予他们某些特权，例如参与购买 SOPH 代币的能力。然而，并非所有节点持有者都有资格成为网络上的验证者。尽管节点销售取得了成功，Sophon 的代币经济学还是受到了一些批评者的批评。

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

Sophon 的节点销售达到 6000 万美元，引发了对代币经济学的质疑

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.

伦敦，2024 年 4 月 26 日 - 基于 zkSync 技术构建的超链 Sophon 已成功售出 20 万个节点，在不到一周的时间里筹集了 6000 万美元。尽管此次出售被誉为社区主导筹款的胜利，但该项目的代币经济学引发了争议。

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 的节点销售采用阶梯定价模式，每个节点定价在 0.0813 至 2.0556 ETH 之间。然而，该公司强调，并非所有节点所有者都会成为网络上的验证者。相反，他们将收到带有某些特权的 ERC-721 代币。

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，他们将有资格参与 SOPH 代币销售，在启动后的前 36 个月内，将代币供应总量的 20% 分配给节点所有者。一旦 Sophon 于 2024 年第三季度推出主网，用户还可以成为验证者，分享网络费用。

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

此外，Sophon 计划向质押 BEAM（Beam 网络）或 ZENT（Zentry）的早期采用者进行空投。

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.

尽管销售成功，该项目仍因其代币经济学而面临批评。根据公告，Sophon 基金会控制代币供应总量的 25%，而只有 20% 作为节点奖励分配。

"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."

有影响力的加密货币分析师 Bring Me Coins 在推特上写道：“我将跳过 Sophon 节点销售，因为我认为代币经济学完全失败。” “只有总供应量的 20% 被分配为节点奖励？不，谢谢。”

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.

在节点出售之前，Sophon 已从 Paper Ventures、Maven 11、Spartan、SevenX 和 OKX Ventures 等投资者那里筹集了 1000 万美元的种子资金。

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 是一条 zkSync 超链，这意味着它利用了由 Matter Labs 创建的模块化架构和开源 ZK Stack，Matter Labs 是流行的第 2 层解决方案 zkSync 背后的公司。

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.

该项目由 zkSync 前 DeFi 负责人 Sebastien 和 Twitter 上著名加密货币交易员“Pentoshi”领导，旨在基于 zkSync 的超链技术构建一个娱乐生态系统。该平台利用 zkSync 的账户抽象和其他功能来增强用户体验并吸引人工智能、游戏和娱乐领域的人才。

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

Sophon 并不是第一个通过节点销售筹集资金的项目。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.

虽然节点销售方式有其优点，但它也会引发对代币分配和中心化潜力的担忧。专家建议投资者在参与节点销售或任何其他筹款活动之前仔细考虑项目的代币经济学。
