Seems quite something to lure people to stake with a 21 day unbonding period who see the APY and then suddenly slash by 75% in a single proposal
Also how does something this big not get noticed haha

Initia Chain Upgrade Proposal 1 has been released!
A very necessary upgrade that sets up future improvements and fixes some initial mistakes but will not be loved by all (especially farmers)!
So what's in the proposal?
1. A reduction in inflation rate to the intended (5% of the staking pool)/yr.
The intended emission rate planned and in the official tokenomics + docs is (5% of the staking pool)/yr or 1.25% of total supply. However at launch this was improperly applied, resulting in emissions being set to (5% of the total supply)/yr.
This results in 4x the amount of intended inflation for staking/enshrined liquidity on the L1 which is NOT good!
🫱 High inflation is a much loved phenomenon from dying L1s. Why? It directly competes with opportunities in the economy and encourages users to "hold" tokens rather than "use" tokens. In this case, lowering L1 staking opportunities and increasing esINIT rewards from VIP on a relative basis encourages stronger participation and exploration amongst appchains.
🤜 With the current inflation rate, Initia is emitting about 1 months worth of "normal" inflation per week.
👉 A gradual reduction was considered however given unbonding takes 21 days, reductions wouldn't do anything unless they were done over many months and Initia needs to put VIP and using appchains first.
Surely due to this some users will unbond their INIT-USDC from Enshrined Liquidity. For those that unbond but want to stick around, there's plenty of opportunities across the Interwoven Economy which are yielding 100%+ from VIP for actually using products!
Some examples:
-

-
I detailed all these thoughts about high inflation cannibalizing the economy back in March in this article from Initia Main:
Glad to see this mistake be corrected and focus incentives towards the growth of apps.
2. L1 set OP Withdrawal Periods
Interwoven Rollups may decide how assets are bridged to their chain: IBC or OP Bridge. There's a tradeoff here between speed and security, with IBC being fast in both directions but less secure and OP being slow on withdrawals but safe if a rollup is hacked.
For initial mainnet launch it's important to prioritize security with most teams choosing to use the OP bridge for assets. However OP bridge withdrawal periods are currently set by each L2 individually and the default is 7 days.
This upgrade enables L1 governance to adjust the withdrawal period for all rollups — this will then allow Initia to ensure all rollups have the same withdrawal period time and also potentially decrease the default the existing/default to something like 3 days.
At the same time, Initia is developing a standard that combines both speed and security for withdrawals. We are keen to release this in a few months!
3. There are some updates on Emergency Proposals and IBC Hook validation to enable flows from Noble.
Lastly, going forward, all future Initia Chain Upgrade Proposals will be required to have a minimum 24 hour period in the forums to collect feedback and iterate first. This must come with clear note on the date each proposal is expected to go on-chain.
If you have different views to the proposal that is A-OK! Feel free to leave your structured and well presented thoughts on the Forum as the vote lasts 7 days. This is where discussion will and should take place as twitter / discord are not the right places.
Thanks and Happy Governancing!

𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙉𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠
@SonicLabs has been live on mainnet for five months,
superseding Fantom, and is aiming for the DeFi throne.
As Sonic just crossed $1B TVL, the trajectory seems promising.
But is @AndreCronjeTech's new chain living up to the hype?
Time to find out ↓
To set the stage, let's break down Sonic's tech stack on a high level first.
We won't go to deep into the weeds though, for a more detailed breakdown of the network architecture and features, check the quoted post below.
➀ 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸:
→ Finality of approximately 700ms, outperforming high-performance chains like Aptos (900ms) and significantly ahead of most EVM chains.
→ Achieved throughput of >10,000 TPS, scalable toward 20,000+ with ongoing development to enhance performance through parallel execution.
→ Implements DAG-based asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) consensus (Lachesis) combined with SonicDB, optimizing node storage requirements (~90% reduction compared to Fantom Opera).
→ Uses live pruning to reduce validator storage needs, allowing continuous operation by automatically removing historical data through separate current and archive databases.
→ Minimal transaction fees (typically <1 cent) provide an excellent user experience.
However, while that makes for a strong basis, performance alone is not what drives growth of the onchain economy that Sonic aims to scale.
What really differentiates Sonic from other (EVM) chains, is a bunch of truly unique features, aiming to attract both builders and users effectively.
➁ 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀:
→ Gas Fee Monetization: Developers earn up to 90% of the gas fees generated by their dApps, directly incentivizing high-quality development.
→ Native On-Chain Credit Scoring: Privacy-preserving, on-chain credit scoring without KYC unlocks under-collateralized lending markets estimated at $11.3 trillion.
→ Native Account Abstraction: Seamless onboarding and user interactions via social logins and third-party gas sponsorship.
→ Robust Bridge Security: Sonic Gateway employs decentralized validation and includes built-in emergency withdrawal mechanisms, significantly mitigating traditional bridging risks.
Okay cool, but what about the data?
Are people even using Sonic?
Let's have a closer look at the key ecosystem metrics.
➂ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀
→ Sonic’s TVL rapidly expanded from ~$27M at launch to around $1.09B within five months, demonstrating sustained capital inflow.
→ Sonic Network secured the highest net inflows (~$505M in the last 3 months, mainly from Ethereum) of all chains, surpassing major competitors such as @arbitrum, @base or @unichain.
→ Dominant DeFi protocols by TVL include @aave V3 ($440.96M), @SiloFinance ($271.49M), and @beets_fi (~$262.82M). This spread of TVL across diverse applications reduces systemic risk and indicates healthy protocol diversification.
→ Daily Active Addresses have surged to a peak of ~170,000, stabilizing around ~60,000 users, indicating robust user retention for now (even tho this metric can easily be manipulated).
→ Daily transaction volumes consistently exceed 800,000, peaking above 1.3 million, indicative of substantial ongoing engagement beyond initial launch hype. We have to once again keep in mind though that these kinds of metrics are rather easy to manipulate.
→ DEX volumes spiked initially to ~$450M daily, with sustained volumes around ~$100M, evidencing strong and stable trading activity + liquidity. However, the organic volume is likely lower.
→ Generated fees have seen peaks around $35,000 daily, stabilizing around $13,600, highlighting significant economic activity and developer revenue potential.
→ Stablecoin market cap ($577.17M) is growing rapidly and bolsters the network's substantial liquidity depth, supporting trading & lending activities.
Overall, the data clearly shows strong fundamentals, indicating that Sonic's strategy to return to Fantom's old DeFi glory is working well.
However, this begs the question: What exactly are all these users doing with their money on @SonicLabs?
➃ 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 + 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰
Undoubtedly, a strong pull factor that attracts liquidity and users from other chains and ecosystems, is the yields to be farmed across liquidity and lending pools in the Sonic ecosystem.
Various venues offer stablecoin markets that yield attractive APYs of 5-12%, while liquidity pools across the ecosystem provide consistent APRs between 15-30%, with some bearing even higher yields, ensuring sustainable incentives for liquidity providers.
Advanced financial products like @pendle_fi (yield tokenization), @eggsonsonic (leveraged yield farming), and @Rings_Protocol (yield-bearing stablecoins) further provide more sophisticated farming strategy options, and broaden the overall scope of opportunities for users.
Last but not least, staking yields remain comparably attractive at 5-8%, augmented by liquid staking derivatives like $stS, that facilitate further DeFi integration, a major improvement compared to Fantom Opera's staking infra that largely lacked any liquid staking options.
However, it's likely not the APYs alone attracting users and fueling a daily transaction count that consistently exceeds 1 million, and a total of unique addresses that is approaching 2.5 million.
While developer activity is significantly boosted by the Sonic Innovator Fund (200M $S tokens allocated) and Sonic Boom developer incentives, Sonic also employs a strategic points-based incentive system designed to drive user adoption and engagement across the ecosystem.
The Sonic Points system operates by rewarding users for performing various on-chain actions such as trading, lending, providing liquidity, staking, and bridging assets onto the network. Each action grants a user a certain number of points, which accumulate to determine eligibility for targeted airdrops of $S tokens.
To further incentivize specific behaviours aligned with ecosystem growth, Sonic introduced multipliers for certain activities, such as depositing stablecoins into key lending markets or providing liquidity to core trading pairs, granting up to 12-15x point multipliers. This substantially amplifies the perceived value of participating in these critical actions, creating a strong incentive for users to actively and consistently engage with DeFi apps on Sonic.
Consequently, users are motivated not only by immediate yields but also by the substantial potential upside associated with future airdrops. This gamified reward structure has notably contributed to sustained user retention post-launch (at least so far), which is reflected in the ecosystem’s high daily active addresses and stable transaction volumes as well.
Sonic’s points-based airdrop system seems to have effectively catalyzed organic adoption and community growth, ensuring users remain active beyond short-term farming incentives by app layer protocols.
➄ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
Sonic's initial metrics demonstrate decent traction, supported by strong technical capabilities and strategically designed incentives. However, a significant part of its rapid growth appears closely tied to the aggressive reward structures currently in place.
Moving forward, the primary challenge lies in transitioning this incentivized adoption into sustainable organic activity and innovative dApps. While Sonic’s innovations are commendable, the network's true long-term viability and resilience will depend heavily on user retention and ecosystem activity after incentive programs diminish.
It will be particularly interesting to observe whether Sonic can maintain its early momentum and convert transient interest into lasting, fundamental engagement. Sonic's unique DeFi primitives and integrated features such as onchain credit scoring, gas fee monetization and native account abstraction could be crucial here.

Redacted Research 🀄️
In 2022, Fantom Opera TVL peaked at $8.8B.
After the catastrophic @multichain bridge incident, which resulted in the loss of 100s of millions, the ecosystem collapsed and never recovered.
With the imminent launch of @0xSonicLabs mainnet, hype has now finally returned to the ecosystem.
Will Sonic bring back the former DeFi glory?
@RedactedRes went deep down the @0xSonicLabs rabbit hole to uncover what the hype is all about and what it means for the Fantom universe.
Keep reading for ████████ alpha on $S. ⤵️
➊ WTF is Fantom?
@FantomFDN Opera is an alt-L1 blockchain that is fully EVM compatible but provides fast finality alongside faster and cheaper execution (vs. Ethereum).
Fantom's key innovation is Lachesis, a fast, leaderless, and Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism.
Instead of a linear blockchain, Lachesis uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) where nodes store transactions as event blocks, which can be confirmed simultaneously.
Lachesis nodes only exchange and sync individual events. When enough nodes approve an event, it's added to the DAG and subsequently confirmed.
This structure enables Lachesis to reduce communication overhead and allows for nearly instant transaction finality.
Led by charismatic builders like @AndreCronjeTech or @danielesesta, the ecosystem was among the big winners of the alt EVM narrative, and was able to successfully bootstrap a vibrant ecosystem of applications.
Fueled by the resulting degen activity on the chain, the ecosystem grew into a Top 5 chain in terms of TVL end of 2021 / early 2022.
The downfall since then, accelerated by the @multicoin implosion and the FTX disaster, has been steep.
Even after those major events passed, Fantom continuously lost mindshare, users and liquidity to other emerging ecosystems, as L2s ($ARB, $OP, etc.) and altVM chains (see $SOL or $SUI now) took over.
Today, the excitement around EVM execution layers has in general notably cooled down.
The exceptions here are @monad_xyz, @megaeth_labs and @berachain.
What makes them unique, is that they scale the EVM to another level from what alt EVM chains are capable of today (Monad and MegaETH), innovate around novel DeFi primitives or economic models (Bera), and that they are strongly community-focused (Monad and Bera).
With @0xSonicLabs, the Fantom team aims to merge these three ideas into the ultimate "anti VC coin bet". Let us explain anon.
➋ WTF is Sonic?
Sonic is a high-performance EVM blockchain developed by @0xSonicLabs (Sonic Labs).
Built on Fantom’s architecture but with substantial upgrades, Sonic offers a secure gateway to Ethereum and achieves sub-second finality.
In the long-term the team wants to scale the chain into an entire ecosystem of execution layers, capable of handling millions of transactions daily.
The Sonic chain runs the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), which is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) but offers significantly faster performance.
With upcoming upgrades such as parallelization on the tx execution level (think Monad) in the coming months, Sonic aims to further increase its throughput.
One of the key innovations within Sonic is the introduction of the Sonic Gateway, a next-generation bridge architecture that significantly enhances security for users and decentralized applications (dApps).
This new architecture addresses some of the vulnerabilities present in existing systems, offering greater protection towards bridging risks than the current Fantom Opera network.
Another key feature of Sonic is the native gas monetization, which allows builders to earn up to 90% of the gas fees their apps generate, which is a unique incentive to build on Sonic.
In an interview a few months ago, @michaelfkong also emphasized Sonic's role as a "best-in-class decentralized sequencer" for both L1 and L2 execution layers.
According to Kong, Sonic has the potential to handle up to 180 million transactions per day with sub-second finality, which aligns with the vision of enabling Sonic-based app-specific L2s as part of a broader ecosystem strategy.
The native token of the Sonic network is $S.
Upon launch, $FTM holders will be able to exchange their tokens on a 1:1 basis for $S, onboarding existing Fantom users into the Sonic ecosystem.
$S plays various roles in the ecosystem:
➤ Paying transaction fees
➤ Running validators / delegated staking
➤ Governance voting
➤ +++
Unlike most newly launched (low float / high FDV) tokens, $FTM (soon) $S is free of what people often refer to as "predatory VC tokenomics".
$FTM has a max supply of 3,175M with all tokens unlocked and 2'800M $FTM (88%) already circulating.
Okay cool, but will there be an airdrop?
Yes anon.
Sonic Labs also plans to incentivize users through an airdrop of 190.5 million $S tokens, aimed at both existing @FantomFDN Opera users and new participants.
The incentives will focus on driving total value locked (TVL), transaction volume, and ecosystem growth.
To support sustainable development in the long-term, Sonic Labs will also mint additional $S tokens six months after launch.
These funds will be used to grow adoption, expand the development team, and implement robust marketing campaigns.
What about inflation?
In an effort to prevent inflation, unused tokens will be burned annually, ensuring that the total supply remains controlled and dedicated to network growth.
Sonic has a 3.5% target block reward rate to incentivize validators, while burning 50% of transaction fees for non-gas-monetized apps.
Thanks to the migration of $FTM block rewards to $S, the 3.5% target block reward rate is achievable without inflation in Sonic’s first four years.
At the end of this time period, new $S tokens will be minted to ensure this target rate (and the security of the network) is properly and consistently maintained.
This will lead to an overall annual inflation of roughly 1.75%.
Under the leadership of @AndreCronjeTech, Sonic’s CTO and a highly respected figure in decentralized finance (DeFi), things could get really interesting.
In his role, Cronje is currently leading the design and development of Sonic, with a focus on the new native bridge technology (Sonic Gateway).
He stated:
“𝐴 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝐸𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑢𝑚 𝐿2 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑛 𝐸𝑇𝐻 + 𝑢𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑟𝑎𝑢𝑑-𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒.

Aside this, @AndreCronjeTech is also looking to introduce novel DeFi primitives to Sonic.
One of the most groundbreaking ones is the native credit score integration, which targets the $11.3 trillion unsecured lending market.
By extracting and transforming blockchain data, the Sonic team, led by Cronje, has developed a privacy-focused credit scoring system that doesn’t require KYC or personal identifiable information (PII).
This innovation opens the door to decentralized, unsecured lending on a massive scale, providing users with access to credit while preserving their privacy.
In recent Twitter posts, Cronje has also hinted at other primitives which will exclusively be launched on @0xSonicLabs.
➌ The Path from Fantom to Sonic
The Sonic network is currently in testnet and the launch of mainnet is expected by end of the year, which will also mean that $FTM holders can migrate their tokens to $S.
@0xSonicLabs has been showcasing exceptionally strong numbers on the testnet, both in terms of user activity as well as performance.
With consistently sub-second block-time and finality, Sonic is shaping up to be the first "next-gen" EVM alt L1 that makes it to market, essentially front-running other players like the before mentioned Monad (even though technologically different).
While Sonic Labs will continue to support Fantom Opera for the time being, validator rewards will be migrated to the new Sonic chain, and as validators and user migrate, the transition will be complete.
What about applications?
@0xSonicLabs has recently launched Sonic Boom, a developer program that offers significant $S incentives to build on Sonic.
Since the chain is fully EVM compatible, it will likely be easy for many apps from other EVM chains to migrate and/or expand to Sonic too.
Most Fantom Opera (OG) protocols have already officially announced that they will be deploying on Sonic.
This includes:
- @beethoven_x (DEX & Liquid Staking)
- @Equalizer0x (DEX & Derivatives)
- @TarotFinance (Lending)
- @polterfinance (Lending)
- @SpookySwap (DEX)
- @mummyftmfi (Perp DEX)
- @Lynx_Protocol (Perp DEX)
- @WigoSwap (DEX)
- @worldofumans (NFT Collections)
- @SilverSwapDex (DEX)
- @paint_swap (NFT Marketplace)
- @ShadowDexFi (DEX)
- @fMoneyMarkets (Lending)
- +++
➍ ████████ Conclusion
@0xSonicLabs undoubtedly set out on an ambitious mission.
The competition in the market is fiercer than ever and many doubt that the EVM L1 narrative can still succeed amid Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap (also don't forget Celestia & co) and innovation around altVMs.
Especially @solana has been very successful in establishing itself as a major DeFi ecosystem with significant adoption and activity, while Move-based chains like @Aptos or @SuiNetwork have also been garnering mindshare.
Considering the hype around @monad_xyz, @berachain and @megaeth_labs (loading), it seems though as if there is still a narrative and some interest.
Amid the still persistent dominance of Solidity in terms of value secured per programming language and the large talent pool the EVM has, that is hardly surprising.
However, as mentioned earlier in this post, there is also other elements that can be crucial in defining a project's success.
That includes community and ecosystem, both of which are things that teams have to consistently and actively work on.
@berachain for example introduces novel mechanics such as a bribery system or PoL, and strongly activates the community (through strongly meme-driven positioning), which gives it an edge on attracting both builders and users vs. many other ecosystems.
While also being strong on the community side, @monad_xyz adds technical supremacy and unlimited scale to the mix, which once again makes for an interesting mix wrt bootstrapping a healthy ecosystem.
Incentives, both for users (airdrops) and builders (gas monetization, dev programs, etc) are also key, and once again an area where all of the above mentioned projects excel.
Now what does that mean for @0xSonicLabs (aside tough competition)?
Sonic benefits from the fact that it has an existing ecosystem of builders and users to tap into. While it remains to be seen how successful the activation of that eco is in the end, so far it looks very promising.
Combined with the USP of not being "a low float / high FDV coin to make VCs rich", that puts Sonic in a unique position vs. its competitors.
However, that likely won't suffice to maintain mindshare and relevance in the long term.
With its quite degen/memetic positioning and novel builder incentives and DeFi primitives (the @berachain way), as well as bringing massive scale to the EVM (the @monad_xyz way), alongside well thought-through incentive mechanisms (Sonic Boom + airdrop), Sonic does however have a clear plan of making it happen.
It will definitely be interesting to see how @0xSonicLabs evolves from here, and if the ecosystem returns to the former $FTM DeFi glory in the months to come.

Thanks to the migration of $FTM block rewards to $S, the 3.5% target block reward rate is achievable without inflation in Sonic’s first four years.
At the end of this time period, new $S tokens will be minted to ensure this target rate (and the security of the network) is properly and consistently maintained.
This will lead to an overall annual inflation of roughly 1.75%.
Under the leadership of @AndreCronjeTech, Sonic’s CTO and a highly respected figure in decentralized finance (DeFi), things could get really interesting.
In his role, Cronje is currently leading the design and development of Sonic, with a focus on the new native bridge technology (Sonic Gateway).
He stated:

Aside this, @AndreCronjeTech is also looking to introduce novel DeFi primitives to Sonic.
One of the most groundbreaking ones is the native credit score integration, which targets the $11.3 trillion unsecured lending market.
By extracting and transforming blockchain data, the Sonic team, led by Cronje, has developed a privacy-focused credit scoring system that doesn’t require KYC or personal identifiable information (PII).
This innovation opens the door to decentralized, unsecured lending on a massive scale, providing users with access to credit while preserving their privacy.
In recent Twitter posts, Cronje has also hinted at other primitives which will exclusively be launched on @0xSonicLabs.
➌ The Path from Fantom to Sonic
The Sonic network is currently in testnet and the launch of mainnet is expected by end of the year, which will also mean that $FTM holders can migrate their tokens to $S.
@0xSonicLabs has been showcasing exceptionally strong numbers on the testnet, both in terms of user activity as well as performance.
With consistently sub-second block-time and finality, Sonic is shaping up to be the first "next-gen" EVM alt L1 that makes it to market, essentially front-running other players like the before mentioned Monad (even though technologically different).
While Sonic Labs will continue to support Fantom Opera for the time being, validator rewards will be migrated to the new Sonic chain, and as validators and user migrate, the transition will be complete.
What about applications?
@0xSonicLabs has recently launched Sonic Boom, a developer program that offers significant $S incentives to build on Sonic.
Since the chain is fully EVM compatible, it will likely be easy for many apps from other EVM chains to migrate and/or expand to Sonic too.
Most Fantom Opera (OG) protocols have already officially announced that they will be deploying on Sonic.
This includes:
- @beethoven_x (DEX & Liquid Staking)
- @Equalizer0x (DEX & Derivatives)
- @TarotFinance (Lending)
- @polterfinance (Lending)
- @SpookySwap (DEX)
- @mummyftmfi (Perp DEX)
- @Lynx_Protocol (Perp DEX)
- @WigoSwap (DEX)
- @worldofumans (NFT Collections)
- @SilverSwapDex (DEX)
- @paint_swap (NFT Marketplace)
- @ShadowDexFi (DEX)
- @fMoneyMarkets (Lending)

➍ ████████ Conclusion
@0xSonicLabs undoubtedly set out on an ambitious mission.
The competition in the market is fiercer than ever and many doubt that the EVM L1 narrative can still succeed amid Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap (also don't forget Celestia & co) and innovation around altVMs.
Especially @solana has been very successful in establishing itself as a major DeFi ecosystem with significant adoption and activity, while Move-based chains like @Aptos or @SuiNetwork have also been garnering mindshare.
Considering the hype around @monad_xyz, @berachain and @megaeth_labs (loading), it seems though as if there is still a narrative and some interest.
Amid the still persistent dominance of Solidity in terms of value secured per programming language and the large talent pool the EVM has, that is hardly surprising.
However, as mentioned earlier in this post, there is also other elements that can be crucial in defining a project's success.
That includes community and ecosystem, both of which are things that teams have to consistently and actively work on.
@berachain for example introduces novel mechanics such as a bribery system or PoL, and strongly activates the community (through strongly meme-driven positioning), which gives it an edge on attracting both builders and users vs. many other ecosystems.
While also being strong on the community side, @monad_xyz adds technical supremacy and unlimited scale to the mix, which once again makes for an interesting mix wrt bootstrapping a healthy ecosystem.
Incentives, both for users (airdrops) and builders (gas monetization, dev programs, etc) are also key, and once again an area where all of the above mentioned projects excel.
Now what does that mean for @0xSonicLabs (aside tough competition)?
Sonic benefits from the fact that it has an existing ecosystem of builders and users to tap into. While it remains to be seen how successful the activation of that eco is in the end, so far it looks very promising.
Combined with the USP of not being "a low float / high FDV coin to make VCs rich", that puts Sonic in a unique position vs. its competitors.
However, that likely won't suffice to maintain mindshare and relevance in the long term.
With its quite degen/memetic positioning and novel builder incentives and DeFi primitives (the @berachain way), as well as bringing massive scale to the EVM (the @monad_xyz way), alongside well thought-through incentive mechanisms (Sonic Boom + airdrop), Sonic does however have a clear plan of making it happen.
It will definitely be interesting to see how @0xSonicLabs evolves from here, and if the ecosystem returns to the former $FTM DeFi glory in the months to come.

To tackle scalability issues and high transaction costs on the Ethereum network, Optimism has emerged as a compelling Layer 2 solution. Functioning as an off-chain network layered on top of Ethereum, Optimism extends the capabilities of the blockchain. Fueled by its native token OP, the platform aims to alleviate Ethereum's challenges and enhance its performance.
What is Optimism
Optimism (OP), also known as Optimistic Ethereum (OE), is a Layer 2 solution built to address the scalability issues of the Ethereum network. At its core, Optimism utilizes a technology known as optimistic rollups. This technology bundles, or rolls up, multiple transactions into a single transaction, significantly improving the speed and cost of transactions. As Optimism is built on top of Ethereum’s architecture, developers and users can make use of the speedy and low-cost transactions whilst having the security of the Ethereum blockchain.
The Optimism team
The Optimism team comprises a group of dedicated blockchain experts, including Jaynti Kanani, Jinglan Wang, Ilya Polosukhin, Ben Jones, Paul Hauner, and Matteo Rizzi.
How does Optimism work
When a user initiates a transaction, it's executed on the Optimism network rather than directly on the Ethereum mainnet. Throughout this process, Optimism maintains communication with Ethereum's Layer 1 and leaves the original network unchanged. This is achieved through optimistic rollups, which consolidate multiple transactions into a single batch submitted to Ethereum.
By adopting this approach, the computational burden on the Ethereum mainnet is lessened, resulting in faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees. Ultimately, Optimism plays a pivotal role in alleviating strain on the Ethereum network, consequently reducing congestion and associated high fees.
Optimism’s native token: OP
OP is the token of the Optimism ecosystem, crucial in securing and powering the Optimism network. The token also serves as incentivizes and rewards for validators who correctly process and confirm transactions. Validators are able to stake OP tokens as collateral, which can be confiscated if they act maliciously.
OP tokenomics
There is a maximum supply of 4,294,967,296 OP tokens. The supply of OP tokens is carefully controlled and released into the market via strategic allocation methods such as staking rewards, developer incentives, and ecosystem grants. This approach ensures a balanced and sustainable distribution of tokens, maintaining the long-term stability and health of the Optimism ecosystem.
OP use cases
The primary purpose of the OP token is governance. This encompasses various essential functions, including allowing token holders to cast votes pertaining to proposed updates to the protocol as well as distribution of incentives for projects through the Governance Fund. Additionally, it facilitates the funding of projects hosted on the Optimism platform. OP holders are also allowed to engage in project management alongside other OP Citizens.
Distribution of OP
OP’s distribution is as follows:
25 percent: Ecosystem fund
20 percent: Retroactive Public Goods Spending (RetroPGF), an experimental spending mechanism designed to align with OP's objective of equating impact with profit.
19 percent: Airdropped to the community
19 percent: Awarded to core contributors
17 percent: Given to investors
Optimism: The road ahead
On the project's horizon is the launch of a public mainnet, marking a significant milestone that will elevate Optimism's capabilities. Looking ahead, Optimism aims to become the leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. The project envisions a future where Ethereum's transaction processing capabilities skyrocket to millions per second while upholding its foundational principles of security and decentralization.
