Sophon Q1 Roundup: Building the Foundation

Sophon's vision is clear, to make crypto-powered entertainment experiences accessible to everyone, whether you've been in crypto for years or are just discovering it now.

The first quarter of 2025 has been productive for Sophon. While much of the crypto world has been chasing memes and short-term gains, our team has been focused on building robust infrastructure that enables genuine consumer adoption.

We've made significant strides across multiple fronts, creating a foundation that will support Sophon's vision for years to come.

Here's a look at everything we've accomplished together in Q1:

Major Partnerships & Applications

OPEN Protocol Acquisition
In a big move for real-world adoption, OPEN Protocol made a deal with CM.com to bring their 19 MILLION annual tickets onchain without end users ever needing to know they're using blockchain technology.

This is exactly how we believe crypto adoption should happen: by improving existing experiences rather than applying friction to what's already working.

We've launched the SIA with a $5 million initiative dedicated to accelerating the adoption of AI agents onchain. This initiative brings together elite teams, proven infrastructure, and substantial resources to build out a productive, interconnected agentic economy. We're really excited to see how developers will combine AI and blockchain to improve consumer experiences.

Noon Capital Beta
Financial innovation continues on Sophon with @noon_capital's public beta launch, offering an intelligent and fair yield generating stablecoin. We take pride in curating thoughtful financial tools and we aim to support ones that provide genuine utility and sustainable returns rather than unsustainable yield mechanisms.

Animix's Strong Growth
We're proud to announce that @animix_tech has reached 1 million total players, a testament to the growing appeal of quality gaming experiences built on Sophon.

The vision that blockchain gaming can attract mainstream audiences when the experience is engaging and the technology is seamless is coming to life.

Rivalry's SOPHNUTZ Campaign
Our partnership with @Rivalrybet is developing, and we have got to the point where we are gradually moving their millions of users onchain. This quarter, Rivalry launched a 'SOPHNUTZ' campaign to re-engage their users with a crypto-powered activation. As a part of this campaign, Rivalry airdropped anyone who has made a bet on Rivalry $SOPHNUTZ, a soulbound ERC token. Users could then burn this token to play plinko, which would qualify them to win rewards via a leaderboard payout.

The result? Tens of thousand of net new wallets created, with users not knowing the'yre interacting with crypto - exactly as it should be.

Petopia's $150K Hall of Fame Event
Petopia's $150,000 Hall of Fame event brought together community members to battle in the high-energy roguelike shooter game alongside the launch of Sophon mainnet.

Petopia has proven strong traction, with over 220k total users & over 4.5k average daily matches. Season 1 of the HOF event has now wrapped up succesfully, so make sure to keep an eye out for season 2 coming soon! Season 2 will only be available on Petopia's Sophon server.
