Previously known as the well-known public chain Fantom, Sonic Labs announced on Twitter on December 3 that its mainnet Sonic has successfully generated the first transaction block and is expected to be open to users soon. At the same time, Sonic Labs also completed the airdrop snapshot of its token $S.
The first block is born, announcing the summoning of the Sonic mainnet.

Strengthening the Blaze testnet to enhance performance.
Just a few days before announcing the 'Genesis' of the mainnet, Sonic Labs launched an upgraded version of the testnet Blaze (Testnet 2.0). The official statement indicates that Blaze averages a block generation time of only 0.33 seconds, with the final confirmation time reduced to just 0.82 seconds, continuously maintaining high efficiency over the first 221,000 blocks, showing outstanding performance.
Testnet BLAZE
In the future, Sonic Labs aims to achieve 'sub-second confirmation,' planning to increase transaction speed to 10,000 transactions per second and compress the confirmation time to just 1 second.
The average block generation time is 0.33 seconds, and the final confirmation time is 0.82 seconds, which can be considered quite fast. The mainnet plan is progressing as scheduled, and the airdrop snapshot has been completed.
Sonic Labs initially estimated that the mainnet would go live between late November and early December, and it currently appears to be progressing quite smoothly. At the same time, the Sonic Labs team completed the airdrop snapshot of its token $S last week. It is worth noting that holders of the $FTM token can exchange it 1:1 for the $S token, providing a special participation opportunity for users in the Fantom ecosystem.
Combining Sonic Gateway, cross-chain and Rollup are the technical highlights.
The Sonic mainnet also integrates the cross-chain bridge Sonic Gateway to connect with the Ethereum mainnet, fully leveraging Ethereum's vast liquidity and user base while maintaining high throughput and low transaction costs on its own mainnet. Additionally, Sonic has designed a shared sequencer that can simultaneously handle the transaction needs of multiple Rollups, making the block generation of these Rollups more efficient, ensuring block security, and further enhancing overall operational efficiency.
