The Sonic chain will be a layer-1 platform that connects to Ethereum via a bespoke layer-2 bridge, allowing Sonic to tap into vast amounts of liquidity, users, and protocols. This allows the network to combine the low cost, scalability, and speed of a layer 1 with the security of a layer-2 bridge for access to native ETH and other assets on Ethereum. As a result, the Sonic chain isn’t just an L1 or L2 — it’s the first chain of its kind to provide the best of both.
Sonic is the highest-performing EVM L1, combining speed, incentives, and world-class infrastructure, powering the next generation of DeFi applications. The chain provides 10,000 TPS and sub-second finality.
Sonic's Fee Monetization (FeeM) program rewards developers with up to 90% of the fees their apps generate, adapting the Web2 ad-revenue model to a decentralized framework. Developers now directly profit from their app's traffic and user engagement.
Furthermore, the Sonic Gateway provides developers and users with seamless access to vast liquidity through a native, secure bridge connected to Ethereum. With a unique fail-safe mechanism, it ensures your assets are protected in all circumstances.
