Singapore, April 28, 2025 ) HTX Research announced the release of its latest report, “Sonic: a model for the new defi paradigm“The report dives into the Sonic Public chain details.
Sonic's Evolution: 2000+ TPS, 0.7s confirmation, close to zero fees
The Fantom Opera Blockchain, which is initially recognized for its speed and throughput as a high -performance -based Layer 1 solution, encounters scalability limits while expanding its ecosystem. EVM's traditional architecture has fought in the flowering state storage, slow node -synchronization, and bottlenecks of implementation. To overcome these challenges without using sharding or layer 2 solutions, the fantom developed Sonic – a major redesigned engineer to deliver a significant jumping jump.
Sonic Labs, a new team chaired by CEO Michael KongCto Andre Cronje (founder of Learn Finance), and Chief Research Officer Bernhard ScholzFocused for two and a half years with the redesign of a virtual machine, storage, and agreed by the fantom. They built a sonic, a new, independent chain compatible with EVM capable $ 0.0001. It also improves excellence in storing 90% and reduces node's node time from weeks to under two days.
Sonic's innovative driving technologies
Sonic's improved performance is supported by three major technology advances:
- Sonicvm: A newly developed virtual machine that is fully compatible with EVM, SonicVM optimizes computationally intensive operations such as SHA3 Hashing, pre-analyzes jump instructions, delivers significantly faster implementation, and supports high throughput.
- Sonicdb: Achieving nearly 90% data compression, SonicDB uses a layered storage approach dividing the state of the blockchain into two databases: liveb for the current global state and archiveb for historical blocks and states. It reduces node requirements and enhances network stability through greater decentralization.
- Sonic Gateway: The function such as a “L2-like” bridging solution to Ethereum, it uses a batch processing mechanism that hits a balance between security and efficiency, enabling the seamless two-way asset transfer and ecosystem access.
Stablecoin ecosystem: nested yield and elastic growth
Avoiding market trends in 2025, the on-chain total Sonic Value (TVL) $ 260 million. This growth is driven by sophisticated high-leverage yield mechanisms.
- Silo v2 loop lending: Use S staked tokens to borrow stablecoins, achieving up to 20x exposure to obtain joint incentives next to stable yield spread.
- EULER + RINGS PROTOCOL COMBO: Deposit USDC to Mint Scusd, then use action to potentially achieve up to 10x yield, along with sonic points and protocol rewards.
- Shadow Dex Liquidity Provision for Rewards: By facilitating trading activity, especially in the S/STS pair in the shadow, users can earn up to 169% APY and a portion of trading fees.
At the forefront, the ecosystem will include the Real World Asset (RWA) that yields and off-chain payment solutions to create a sustainable and widely used stablecoin ecosystem supported by the following properties and real-world applications.
CONCLUSION: Sonic – Leading the DEFI 2.0 charge
Sonic's high performance, nested yield, and accessing position for rapid growth, with potential exceeding $ 2B TVL and a multi-billion $ s token market cap over a year. More importantly, sonic wins a “revolution of efficiency” in blockchain design – prioritizing performance and efficiency of capital to attract liquidity.
The report recognizes technical challenges, including the hope of adaptive AMM in external oracles, which introduces potential weaknesses. Moreover, the natural risks of high-leverage techniques in volatile markets require the use of hedging instruments, such as short continuous futures, to reduce fluid potential.
From a broader view, Sonic is properly positioned to rule the expected 2025 Defi resurrection. Stablecoin's emerging ecosystem enlarges the value of both $ s to the network. Even in a bear market, Sonic shows the potential for the Defi to establish elastic “yields of havens” through change and performance. With its nested produce, developer -focused incentives, and excellent infrastructure, sonic provides a model for the industry. Incorporating RWAs and payment tools can place sonic as a critical bridge between the on-chain produce and utility of the real-world, driving in the adoption of mass
