Sophon to shut down Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain by November

Sophon is scheduled to shut down its Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain, with a withdrawal deadline set for November 25. Following this deadline, the project plans to begin shutting down its infrastructure and websites, with the mainnet expected to close permanently on November 30.

There is currently a discrepancy regarding the timeline, as Sophon’s official documentation states that no fixed date has been set, contradicting the deadline announced on the platform X. Approximately $5.28 million in assets are currently held on the Sophon blockchain. Notably, the project is listed as Stage 0 on L2Beat with “No mechanism” for sequencer failure, meaning there is no emergency exit via Ethereum for users to recover funds.
