SINGAPORE,, April 28, 2025 / Prnewswire / – While the layer 2 scaling solutions remain a focal point of industry discourse, Sonic presents a fundamental change in blockchain architecture. HTX Research announced the release of his latest report, “Sonic: a model for the new paradigm of DefiThe report plunges into the details of the public sound chain.
The evolution of Sonic: 2000+ TPS, 0.7 s confirmation, costs of quasi-zero
The Opera Fantom Blockchain, initially recognized for its speed and flow as a high -performance ADAG layer 1 solution, has encountered scalability as its ecosystem has extended. Its traditional EVM architecture fought with the storage of the inflated state, the synchronization of slow nodes and the bottlenecks of execution. To overcome these challenges without using Sharding or Layer 2 solutions, Fantom has developed Sonic – a fundamental overhaul designed to offer a significant performance jump.
Sonic Labs, a new team led by the CEO Michael KongCTO Andre Cronje (founder of finance tip), and research director Bernhard ScholzDedicated two and a half years to the overhaul of the virtual machine, storage and Fantom consensus. They built Sonic, a new independent EVM compatible channel capable of treating more than 2,000 TP, obtaining a purpose of 0.7 seconds and carrying out transactions at a cost cost of $ 0,0001. It also improves the storage efficiency by 90% and reduces the time of synchronization of the nodes of weeks for less than two days.
Technical innovations stimulating Sonic's performance
Sonic's improved performance is supported by three basic technological advances:
- Sonicvm: A newly developed virtual machine entirely compatible with the EVM, Sonicvm optimizes intensive calculation operations such as HAPHAGE SHA3, pre-analyzed jump instructions, offers much faster execution and supports a high flow.
- Sonicdb: Affecting almost 90% of data compression, Sonicdb uses a layering storage strategy that divides the state of the blockchain into two databases: LiveDB for the current world state and archiveb for blocks and historical states. This reduces the requirements of nodes and improves network resilience by greater decentralization.
- Sonic gateway: Operating as a “L2 type” bridging solution in Ethereum, it uses a batch processing mechanism which establishes a balance between safety and efficiency, allowing transfers of bidirectional assets without seam and access to the ecosystem.
Stablecoin ecosystem: nested yield and resilient growth
Defying market trends in 2025, the total value of the locked Sonic chain (TVL) jumped by more than 500%, with the total stablecoin supply exceeding $ 260 million. This growth is driven by high -level sophisticated yield mechanisms.
- Silo V2 Loop Lending: Use tokens jased to borrow stablescoins, by making up to 20x exposure to the capture of combined incentives alongside stable yield deviations.
- EULER combo + Rings Protocol: Place the USDC with Scusd mint, then use a lever effect to potentially get up to 10x yield, as well as sound points and protocol rewards.
- Shadow Dex liquidity provision for awards: By facilitating negotiation activity, in particular with the S / STS pair on Shadow, users can gain up to 169% APY and a share of negotiation costs.
In the future, the ecosystem will incorporate the yields of real assets in the world (RWA) and off -chain payment solutions to create a sustainable stablecoin ecosystem and widely used supported by compatible assets and real applications.
Conclusion: Sonic – Manager the load in DEFI 2.0
High performance of Sonic, nested yields and accessibility position it for rapid growth, with the potential to exceed $ 2 billion TVL and a market capitalization of tokens of several billion dollars S in a year. More importantly, Sonic defends a “revolution of efficiency” in the design of blockchain – prioritizing the performance and efficiency of capital to attract liquidity.
The report identifies the technical challenges, in particular the dependence of the adaptive MA with regard to external oracles, which introduces potential vulnerabilities. In addition, the risks inherent in high -level strategies on volatile markets require the use of coverage instruments, such as short perpetual future, to alleviate potential liquidations.
From a broader vision, Sonic is well positioned to direct the resurgence of DEFI 2025 expected. Its flourishing ecosystem of Stablecoin stimulates the value of the $ S and network token. Even in a lower market, Sonic demonstrates the potential of DEFI to establish “paradise” resilients by innovation and performance. With its nested yields, its effective developer incentives and infrastructure, Sonic provides a model for industry. The integration of RWAS and payment tools could place Sonic as a critical bridge between chain yields and real utility, leading to mass adoption
