We are thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration between Zentry and Beam (Merit Circle), two of the largest gaming Ecosystems boasting a combined treasury exceeding $300 million. Our alliance is set to redefine the realms of gaming, entertainment and AI.

Joint Incubation

This collaboration between Zentry and Beam inaugurates an ambitious project to jointly incubate and support the Sophon ecosystem led by Seb, an entertainment-focused modular hyperchain powered by zkSync, designed specifically for high-throughput applications focusing on entertainment, gaming and artificial intelligence.

We are joining forces to advance the Sophon ecosystem, leveraging our combined assets, resources and grants to accelerate its adoption. Our strategic alliance extends beyond mere financial investment; we are jointly committing our expansive networks, deep industry expertise and other essential ecosystem integrations to foster a thriving Sophon ecosystem.

Tripartite Synergy

In this tripartite synergy, each party contributes uniquely to a comprehensive technological stack poised for the future. Zentry brings its extensive player network and a reputation as a forward-thinking distributor in gaming, entertainment, and lifestyle. Beam offers a robust technical blockchain infrastructure and product suite that simplifies the complexity of game development while enhancing user experiences. Sophon itself, as a modular hyperchain, is engineered for high throughput and scalability to meet the rigorous demands of next-generation applications. Together, we stand to revolutionize the industry.

Sophon Staking x ZENT

Initially, joining the Sophon node sale is the primary gateway to acquiring $SOPH tokens, as 20% of the supply is intended to be distributed to node operators. However, Sophon has communicated that more opportunities are on the horizon. Through the staking of qualified assets in an initial liquidity window hosted by Sophon, you’ll be eligible to receive a $SOPH token airdrop. As previously announced that $BEAM is one of the available tokens.

we’re pleased to share that $ZENT, is now added as one of the primary assets available for staking in this exciting initiative.

What does this mean? Simple, stake $ZENT on the upcoming Sophon deposit campaign and earn $SOPH
