ℹ️ Overview of the Sonic Ecosystem

Sonic (formerly Fantom) is a high-performance Layer 1 (L1) blockchain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It is designed to maximize transaction speed, efficiency, and scalability, making it ideal for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The network can process 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality, meaning transactions are confirmed almost instantly.

The S token is Sonic’s native utility token. It serves multiple functions within the ecosystem, including:

Transaction fees: Users pay gas fees in S to execute transactions.
Staking: Holders can stake S tokens to help secure the network and earn rewards.
Validator operations: Running a validator node requires staking S tokens as collateral.
Governance: Token holders can vote on protocol upgrades and governance proposals.

Sonic aims to attract developers and users by offering a fast and cost-efficient blockchain infrastructure for DeFi and other Web3 applications.
