Hello Cosmos Community!
We are introducing **SOBYA**, an independent blockchain project built to establish a secure, decentralized, and community-driven ecosystem.
We have completed substantial development, integration, configuration, and automated testing. We are now preparing for the next major milestone: bringing independent validator operators into the network and preparing for public network launch.
We are looking for experienced validators, infrastructure operators, and blockchain contributors who want to participate in a new network from its earliest stage.
## 
1. About SOBYA
SOBYA is built using the Cosmos ecosystem, with CometBFT consensus and EVM compatibility.
Our goal is to combine the strengths of the Cosmos architecture with Ethereum-compatible infrastructure, enabling developers and users to interact with the network through familiar EVM tools and wallets.
**Core network specifications:**
* Project: SOBYA
* Token name: SOBYA
* Token symbol: SOBY
* Native denomination: `asobya`
* Decimal precision: 18
* Consensus: CometBFT
* Architecture: Cosmos SDK
* EVM compatibility: Integrated
* CometBFT Chain ID: `sobya-1`
* EVM Chain ID: `357812033857`
* Maximum token supply: 1,000,000,000 SOBY
* Inflation: Disabled
## 
2. Development and Testing Completed
We have not simply prepared a concept or a repository. The project has undergone multiple automated build, integration, and network tests.
The completed test coverage includes:
**Multi-validator local network**
* Initialized and launched a two-validator local network.
* Verified node operation and network communication.
* Tested the multi-node network workflow.
**EVM JSON-RPC**
* Built and launched the SOBYA node with EVM JSON-RPC enabled.
* Verified Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC functionality.
**Native network operation**
* Initialized a local SOBYA network using 18-decimal token precision.
* Verified block production, denomination, and maximum supply constraints.
**Transaction fee integration**
* Executed real Cosmos and EVM transactions in the integration environment.
* Tested transaction fee routing.
**Build and source validation**
* Verified and built the working source.
* Validated the archived source and build artifacts.
**Genesis preparation**
* Tested the production Genesis preparation workflow.
* Generated and checked the initial allocation, validator reserve, self-bond preparation, gentx, and a single-validator Genesis in the preflight environment.
Selected successful GitHub Actions runs:
* Multi-validator local network: ci: rerun multi-node smoke test for client chain ID initialization · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@d53f25c · GitHub
* EVM JSON-RPC: docs: clarify chain ID source used by sobyad start · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@173c6c3 · GitHub
* 18-decimal local network: docs: clarify chain ID source used by sobyad start · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@173c6c3 · GitHub
* Transaction fee routing: docs: clarify chain ID source used by sobyad start · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@173c6c3 · GitHub
* Source and build validation: docs: clarify chain ID source used by sobyad start · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@173c6c3 · GitHub
* Production Genesis preflight: fix: validate EVM denom from genesis; app CLI has no EVM query command · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@a502811 · GitHub
* Network configuration validation: fix: validate EVM denom from genesis; app CLI has no EVM query command · snforem-cpu/sobya-chain@a502811 · GitHub
These are automated development and preflight test results. The two-validator test was conducted in a shared CI environment, not across independent production servers.

3. Fixed Supply and Token Distribution
SOBYA has a fixed maximum supply of **1 billion SOBY**, with inflation disabled.
The planned allocation is:
| Allocation | Share | Amount |
| ----------------- | -------: | ----------------: |
| Founder | 40% | 400,000,000 |
| Community | 20% | 200,000,000 |
| Validators | 15% | 150,000,000 |
| Development | 10% | 100,000,000 |
| Liquidity | 10% | 100,000,000 |
| Treasury | 3% | 30,000,000 |
| Emergency Reserve | 2% | 20,000,000 |
| **Total** | **100%** | **1,000,000,000** |
The supply cap and allocation parameters are part of our Genesis preparation and validation process.
## 
4. Validator Allocation and Incentives
We have designed a dedicated validator allocation to support network security and long-term participation.
* 15% of the total supply is reserved for validators.
* The validator reserve follows a 48-month vesting schedule.
* The planned monthly release is 3.125 million SOBY.
* Distribution is based on validator voting power.
* Validators are required to maintain at least 95% signed commits to meet the planned participation condition.
Our intention is to encourage reliable, long-term validator participation rather than short-term involvement.
## 
5. Transaction Fee Distribution
SOBYA has a defined transaction fee allocation model:
* 50% — Treasury
* 30% — Validators
* 20% — Community
Community tax is configured to zero. If there is no bonded voting power, the validator fee share is directed to the community pool.
The Cosmos and EVM transaction fee routing has been covered by successful integration tests.
## 
6. EVM Compatibility and Wallet Accessibility
EVM compatibility is an important part of SOBYA’s design.
Our objective is to make the network accessible through familiar Ethereum-compatible infrastructure, including MetaMask and other compatible wallets.
We have successfully tested the EVM JSON-RPC startup and functionality in our automated environment. Broader wallet and public-network connectivity will be validated during the public network onboarding process.
## 
7. What We Are Looking For
We are currently inviting:
* Independent Cosmos validator operators.
* Experienced CometBFT node operators.
* Infrastructure providers interested in supporting a new network.
* Developers familiar with Cosmos SDK and EVM integration.
* Technical contributors interested in network testing and launch preparation.
We welcome both established validator teams and technically capable independent operators.
**Early validators will have the opportunity to contribute to network formation, participate in initial testing, and qualify for the dedicated validator allocation under the network’s published conditions.**
## 
8. Current Network Status
To be completely transparent:
* Core development and the listed automated tests have been completed successfully.
* Production network parameters and Genesis preparation workflows have been documented and tested.
* The public mainnet has not yet launched.
* The production Genesis ceremony and independent validator onboarding remain ahead.
* We are currently seeking independent operators to help establish the public network.
We believe that a decentralized network should be built with the participation of independent operators, not controlled by a single infrastructure provider.
