Sonic will be Fantom’s successor, a major change in the project over a long period without a major breakthrough.
As the new Layer 1 blockchain, Sonic has a security bridge to Ethereum and provides the fastest settlement layer for digital assets. It can process over 10,000 transactions (TPS) per second, with confirmation time of only one second.
Sonic shows steady growth after Mainnet launch
After launching the mainnet, Sonic introduced major upgrades to expand its ecosystem and enhance network performance. Sonic Rollup dispersed the bridge, and Staking now has a fixed 14-day unlock period to enhance DEFI and TVL. The project will also expand its grant program for Gamefi, Defi, Socialfi and AI, as well as upgrade the superset to improve FVM performance. Additionally, Sonic integrates parallel FVMs for faster processing, researches ZK technology for scalability, and is ready to launch its own Stablecoin to enhance Opera and Sonic’s Defi ecosystem.
