Sonic (prev. FTM) (S)
Sonic is an innovative Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer-1 blockchain platform designed to empower developers with attractive incentives and robust infrastructure. It is engineered to support the next generation of decentralized applications (dApps) by offering a high-performance environment with significant transaction throughput and rapid confirmation times.
Key features of Sonic
High transaction throughput and rapid confirmation
Sonic sets itself apart with its ability to handle over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), making it one of the fastest blockchain platforms available. This high transaction throughput is complemented by sub-second confirmation times, offering a seamless user experience and enabling developers to build applications that require quick processing and high scalability.

Fee Monetization (FeeM) program
One of the standout features of Sonic is its Fee Monetization (FeeM) program, which incentivizes developers by rewarding them with up to 90% of the fees generated by their applications. This model adapts the traditional Web2 ad-revenue approach to a decentralized framework, allowing developers to profit directly from the traffic and engagement their apps create. This incentivization structure encourages innovation and development within the Sonic ecosystem.
Sonic Gateway and liquidity access
The Sonic Gateway is a pivotal component of the platform, providing both developers and users with seamless access to extensive liquidity. This is achieved through a native, secure bridge that connects Sonic to the Ethereum network. The Sonic Gateway is equipped with a unique fail-safe mechanism that ensures asset protection under all circumstances, offering users and developers peace of mind when transferring assets across the blockchain.
Infrastructure and ecosystem
Developer-friendly environment
Sonic's infrastructure is built to cater to developers' needs, offering an environment that supports rapid development and deployment of decentralized applications. The platform's compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allows developers to utilize familiar tools and frameworks, reducing the learning curve and facilitating a smoother transition for those developing on Ethereum-based platforms.
Ecosystem growth and support
The Sonic platform is committed to fostering an ecosystem where developers and users can thrive. By providing attractive incentives and a powerful infrastructure, Sonic aims to attract a diverse range of projects, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and beyond. The platform's focus on scalability and efficiency ensures that it can support a wide array of applications and use cases.
