The launch of Sophon on Gate.ioโs Launchpool is notable for its potential to elevate the platformโs position in blockchain-based entertainment and boost user engagement.
Sophon (SOPH), launched by Gate.io, is a key component of the firmโs strategy to enhance its blockchain ecosystem. The token coincides with new staking opportunities and an airdrop for users. Institutional investments of over $70 million bolster the launchโs credibility.
Key figures known in the crypto space have shown support for these initiatives. Gate.ioโs HODLer campaign for token holders includes a share of 24 million SOPH tokens. The initiative also involves partners like MEXC, increasing the reach and engagement.
