Ethereum contract 0x76A0e27618462bDAC7a29104bdcfFf4E6BFCea2D delegates to verified implementation 0x151496e9b0da7c2af27b60010abd4dd91c122f2e. Initialization minted exactly one billion 18-decimal SOSO. No later public mint function appears in that implementation.

The code divided the mint into 30% ecosystem, 16.5% investors, 36.5% team-and-partner and 17% foundation. The whitepaper tells a more granular human story: 33% core contributors plus 3.5% partners. The contract cannot by itself prove that internal split, because both portions arrived at one combined allocation address.

That distinction matters whenever a tokenomics chart is treated as an onchain lock. The ERC-20 establishes the top-level destinations and total. Vesting wallets, custody agreements and distribution transactions must establish what happened after delivery.

The published schedule gives contributors and partners an 18-month cliff followed by 36 monthly releases. Investors receive a 12-month cliff and 18 months of monthly vesting. Foundation and ecosystem pools follow different calendars, with some tranches scheduled for launch or 6 September 2025 and the remainder subject to longer schedules or named programs. These published dates do not by themselves prove the transfers occurred.

Public campaigns used that ecosystem reserve in finite episodes. Epoch 1 ran from 25 January to 25 February 2025, assigning 15 million SOSO to PoW and EXP activity and 30 million to SSI holding and staking. Epoch 4 later offered 15 million from 22 November 2025 through 21 May 2026 for staking MAG7.ssi, DEFI.ssi, MEME.ssi and USSI.

Both plans reserved eligibility, interpretation and adjustment powers to the project. They were distribution campaigns, not a standing interest rate. Epoch 4’s published period ended on May 21, 2026.

SoSoValue Terminal organizes market data, sector indexes, news and research. SSI Protocol does something operationally different: it wraps selected multi-chain assets into Base tokens. SoDEX is an order-book exchange, and ValueChain is the network intended to host gas, staking and governance. One brand connects them, but one holder right does not.

An SSI mint starts with a whitelisted liquidity provider that has passed KYC or KYB. A private market maker acquires the underlying basket, custody receives the assets and an issuer contract mints the SSI token. Burning reverses the path. Ordinary users generally enter and leave through Uniswap and face market liquidity rather than a universal direct redemption right.

The FAQ states a 0.01% daily service fee and claims regulated or licensed custody and asset isolation. The methodology gives final index decisions to a SoSoValue Index Oversight Committee and contemplates monthly rebalancing, when mint and burn may pause. Those are SSI controls; owning SOSO does not publish a direct title to the custodied coins.

Base SOSO at 0x624e2e7fDc8903165F64891672267AB0FCB98831 reports Ethereum SOSO as remoteToken and 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000010 as bridge. That is the canonical Base pattern: the bridge mints and burns the L2 representation. Review-date supply was about 73.53 million SOSO.

The newer ValueChain migration is documented differently. Users lock Ethereum or Base ERC-20 units in a bridge or multisig, then receive native SOSO from a ValueChain reserve. The project says locked source tokens initially remain unburned to prevent market-data services from understating supply and may be burned after integrations catch up. Correct totals therefore depend on identifying locks, not summing every chain's displayed supply.

The official page is precise enough to reveal its own gap: its ValueChain bridge-multisig identifier contains the letter G. An EVM address is hexadecimal, so that string cannot resolve to the claimed account. Ethereum and Base bridge roles can be tested; the stated ValueChain multisig cannot be verified from that identifier.

Snapshot space sosovalue-governance.eth supplies an observable voting layer. SIP-3 opened on 27 August 2026 and closed two days later. It recorded 978 voters and about 6.024 million voting power, approving 50 million SOSO—5% of total supply—for a ValueChain ecosystem incentive treasury.

The proposal does not claim that Snapshot itself moved funds. It instructs the Foundation to execute a multisig allocation, migrate tokens and later disclose transactions. Treasury execution, validator incentives and downstream recipients require separate evidence after the ballot.

Ethereum contract control follows another path. Owner 0x3d0e...11df was a Safe requiring three of four owners on 5 September 2026. Verified code lets that owner pause transfers and approvals or upgrade the implementation; paused was false. Token voting can guide policy while a smaller signer group retains the immediate code key.

The whitepaper and live product page attach many uses to SOSO: governance, research incentives, SSI liquidity and staking boosts, trading discounts, ValueChain gas, collateral and a fee-funded buyback-and-burn idea. Each use depends on product operation, adoption and rules that can evolve.

The SSI terms, last modified 12 March 2025, name Digvaluable Ltd. as the website counterparty. They disclaim assurances about token value, utility and liquidity and restrict users and jurisdictions. They do not clearly say Digvaluable issued SOSO, holds a redeemable reserve for it or owes token holders a distribution.

No reviewed primary file grants SOSO equity, revenue, deposit insurance, redemption at par, beneficial ownership of Terminal data or a direct claim on SSI custodied assets. The token has verifiable code, allocations and votes, but the reviewed materials identify its legal issuer and holder contract less clearly than its product roadmap.
