Sophon Launches “Social Oracle” to Bring Private Web2 Data into Web3

Imagine being able to prove you’re a top gamer, a long-time Prime member, or a loyal airline customer — and actually get rewarded for it on-chain — all without giving up your personal data. That’s what Sophon is building with its new privacy-first tech called zkTLS.

At the heart of it? A powerful tool called the Social Oracle — a system designed to verify real-life achievements, credentials, and even online influence on-chain, while keeping your data secure and private. Think of it like a passport for your digital life, only you decide what to share — and when.

So what is zkTLS, really?

You’ve heard of HTTPS. It keeps your data secure when browsing the web. zkTLS takes that same foundation and adds a cryptographic twist — letting apps prove something about you (like your Spotify activity or bank balance) without actually seeing the data itself.

In real terms, that means you could:

Prove you played 500 hours on Steam to unlock a new game
Verify your income without sharing paystubs
Authenticate your YouTube stats without linking your channel

No screenshots, no trust fall — just secure, selective proof.

Turning online activity into on-chain identity

Sophon’s Social Oracle acts like a bridge between your private online life and the Web3 world. With your consent, it transforms things like game stats, subscription history, or financial credentials into verifiable signals that other apps can use.

The result? A Web3 experience that’s actually personal. Instead of getting spammed with irrelevant airdrops, you’ll see content, rewards, and opportunities that make sense for you — based on what you’ve actually done.

For developers: fewer headaches, more trust

For builders, this is big. Instead of building yet another data verification system from scratch, developers can plug into Sophon’s infrastructure. That means faster launches, stronger user trust, and compliance baked right in.

Sophon also supports multiple zkTLS setups — whether you care more about decentralization (MPC-TLS), speed (TEE-TLS), or scale (Proxy-TLS). It’s flexible enough to power everything from games and marketplaces to DeFi and social dApps.

Why it matters: identity is the next unlock

In crypto, “wallet = identity” has never really worked. It’s anonymous, sure — but it’s also shallow. Sophon’s approach goes deeper: who you are online — your skills, your memberships, your real-world behavior — can become usable on-chain assets, if you want them to be.

This shifts the game from “hold this coin” to “earn your place.” Verified users can get access to exclusive drops, custom rewards, or even social roles — not based on what they bought, but on what they did.

Making blockchain invisible, benefits obvious

Here’s the genius: Sophon hides the blockchain. You don’t need a wallet to start. You don’t need to know how zero-knowledge proofs work. You just log in with stuff you already use — Spotify, Amazon, Steam — and Sophon handles the rest.

It’s a smoother path to mass adoption: not by shouting “Web3 is the future,” but by making it feel natural and useful.
