Sophon has given users until November 25, 2026, to withdraw assets from its blockchain before the network’s planned shutdown on November 30. Summary Sophon has set November 25 as the deadline to withdraw assets before its November 30 mainnet shutdown. Users must withdraw SOPH, ETH, USDC, staking rewards and farm assets to avoid potentially losing access. Sophon began winding down its blockchain in June to focus on consumer finance and AI applications on Base.
