When the eth system was hot in March, many people said that evm layer2 would flip solnana. At that time, I said a wild theory: "solana layer2 will flip most of eth layer2 in this cycle." Many people thought it was a fantasy. It just so happens that @SonicSVM has launched a test network, so let's talk about it~

Solana layer2 is what big investors need:

1. The needs of the sol core circle:
- The second layer of eth gave eth a big narrative, and as a split plate, it gave eth big holders the opportunity to pull in and out at the same time
- Of course, the big Sol users like it.

2. The sol chain itself needs:
- During the time when meme was the hottest and ore was being mined, Solana was stuck
- As the interactions of RWA/depin/trade promoted by Sol become more and more frequent in the future, layer2 will also be needed to split the traffic

3. Specialization chain is a good entry point:
- Solana trading has been well laid out, including jto, jup, pyth, drift
- Depin narrative is exploring the combination with AI, among which @getgrass_io is also working on Solana layer2 in this field
- StepN was one of the opportunities for Solana to break out of the circle. Now the narrative of gamefi is more active in EVM. Sonic uses Solana layer2 to attract mature gamefi to deploy on Solana, which is also a conspiracy to compete with the ETH ecosystem.

Why Solana layer2 is more valuable:

1. Solana layer2 is just starting out and is not as popular as EVM. The first project to issue tokens will get more resources and attention.

2. We see that layer2s with good backgrounds, such as Sonic and Grass, are all working on industry-specific chains. This is very smart: apart from the technical expertise, this positioning makes it easier to build an ecosystem and obtain support from various resources, preventing pixel-level duplication and homogenization (this is a big problem for EVM layer2)

Focus back on Sonic:

1. Gained recognition from Solana’s major investors and first-tier institutions:
- The only L2 supported by Solana Foundation / Games Team
- Raised $12 million, including top VC Bitkraft, Animoca, OKX, Bybit. Among them, Bitkraft and Animoca are the top investment institutions in the game
- Gain support from ecosystem projects including Bonk, SuperteamDAO, Jupiter, and Pyth

2. It is a sharp attack weapon, and the game ecosystem is being built rapidly:
- AAA game Rage Effect on Ronin is migrating
- The 2048 game Fomoney2048 on Sui has been migrated to Sonic
- Snakelite, tap-to-earn, is also being deployed

3. How can I get cheap chips if I like?
- Participate in Testnet Odyssey (ing)
- Purchase nodes (wait for the announcement of the project later)
