Introducing the Sophon Intelligence Agency

Today, we're introducing the Sophon Intelligence Agency (SIA) - a $5M initiative to make AI agents an accessible, everyday reality. At its heart is a major partnership with Cod3x, supported by groundbreaking teams building the next generation of AI applications.

While many talk about AI's potential, we're focused on making it practical, accessible, and immediately valuable for users. The SIA brings together elite teams, proven infrastructure, and substantial resources to make this vision real.

TL;DR

• Sophon Spark: A $1.5M Program launching in partnership with Cod3x to kickstart a "Giga Swarm" of AI agents
• Compute credits: $1M in compute grants for builders via Aethir’s ecosystem fund
• Direct funding, go-to-market & technical support: Projects like Anomaly, ScorePlay, and SPHNX are already building advanced AI-driven experiences on Sophon

Cod3x x Sophon: The $1.5M ‘Sophon Spark’ Program

The centerpiece of the SIA is Sophon Spark - a $1.5M program launching Q1 2025 in partnership with Cod3x, architects of Optimism's record-breaking Superfest campaign.

What makes this significant isn't just the technology - it's the vision of creating what Cod3x calls the “Giga Swarm” - a massive network of AI agents that become collectively smarter through their interactions. As one agent refines its strategy, that knowledge can spread throughout the network, continually enhancing its collective intelligence.

Key aspects of the program:

• Agent Creation: Anyone can deploy AI agents that trade, provide liquidity, and engage with DeFi protocols - no coding required
• Economic Layer: A self-sustaining ecosystem where agents can generate enough value to cover their operational costs while benefitting users

This isn't just about individual agents - it's about developing a thriving ecosystem where thousands of AI agents can work together, learn from one another, and create compounding value for users. As this network grows on Sophon, it will expand beyond DeFi into gaming, social interactions, and new forms of entertainment.

Sophon Spark will bootstrap this ecosystem through:

• Strategic liquidity incentives
• Native lending platform integration
• A token launchpad for AI-centric projects
• Monthly competitions to attract and reward agent developers

By combining Cod3x’s AI-driven platform with Sophon’s infrastructure and community, we aim to spark an agentic economy where thousands of AI agents work together, generating compounding value.

Building an AI-Native Ecosystem on Sophon

Beyond our upcoming Cod3x partnership, several top teams are already building the future of AI experiences on Sophon:

Anomaly: AI-Powered Gaming and Social Ecosystems

Leading our expansion into AI-powered experiences is Anomaly, creators of Nova - an Agentic World Builder that drives AI gaming, trading, and social ecosystems. Their platform gives users the ability to create and deploy autonomous AI agents that constantly learn and evolve via real-world interactions.

Key Features:

• AI Agent Launchpad: Set to host 10,000+ AI agents that evolve through playing games, trading assets, and forming relationships.
• GameFAI & SocialFAI: Powers AI agents that understand game mechanics and social dynamics, enabling everything from AI-vs-AI battles to community-driven narratives.
• Trading Integration: Provides real-time market intelligence and autonomous trading capabilities across multiple markets.
• First AI Agent on Reddit: Nova’s Scenarios game has attracted over 10,000 unique players, demonstrating the potential of AI-driven storytelling and gameplay.

Anomaly has also launched the Nova AI Podcast, a generative series where Nova herself interviews founders, innovators and even other AI agents - showcasing the expanding possibilities of autonomous AI interactions.

ScorePlay: Sports Prediction Markets with AI

ScorePlay revolutionizes sports prediction markets by combining blockchain technology with AI. Already serving 10,000+ users on testnet with 68% retention, their decentralized peer-to-peer platform offers up to 85% lower fees and dynamic tools for strategy development. ScorePlay is set to feature AI agents that will enable users to benefit from intelligent, automated predictions. Built for players and driven by innovation, ScorePlay empowers users to bet smarter, faster, and more openly.

SPHNX: Gamified Privacy & Security Testing for AI Agents

SPHNX is a gamified AI red teaming platform where players compete using text-based prompts to make its AI agent say a forbidden word, earning up to 70% of the prize pool while advancing AI privacy research. With 22 testing scenarios - ranging from moral dilemmas to role-playing dynamics - SPHNX uses real-world inputs to evaluate how AI agents handle sensitive information and maintain private data under pressure. This systematic approach helps developers identify vulnerabilities in Large Language Model (LLM)-based systems, allowing them to integrate stronger safeguards to create truly context-aware AI agents.

Powering Sophon’s AI Economy: Aethir’s High-Performance Compute Network

Powering this ecosystem of AI agents is our strategic partnership with Aethir, a leader in decentralized cloud computing. With over 3,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 43,000+ additional top-tier GPUs in their network, Aethir provides the necessary infrastructure for sophisticated AI applications.

Read more about how Sophon and Aethir bring real computing power onchain:

Through this partnership, projects approved to build AI agents on Sophon receive sponsored compute credits from a total pool of $1M, ensuring they have the resources needed to scale. This eliminates one of the biggest barriers to AI development - compute costs - allowing builders to focus on creating innovative user experiences instead of managing infrastructure.

Further AI Collaborations

BeamAI: Oxford-Led Research at the Intersection of AI and Gaming BeamAI is Beam Foundation's - one of Sophon's closest partners - ambitious research division exploring the intersection of AI and gaming. Working alongside an Oxford-trained doctoral researcher in deep learning, BeamAI is systematically identifying and developing the most promising applications of AI in gaming, contributing toward valuable research that will shape the future of AI-powered entertainment.

Tactical Compute: A $40M Initiative Bridging AI and Crypto
Sophon has backed Tactical Compute (TACOM), a $40M initiative launched by Aethir, Beam Foundation, and MetaStreet, aimed at mobilizing up to $40M for projects building at the intersection of AI and crypto, bridging traditional compute economics with crypto-native innovation.
