Sonic Labs is gearing up for the public launch of its new layer-1 blockchain, Sonic, after achieving its first completed block, Genesis. This speed-focused, Ethereum-compatible blockchain aims to enhance network performance by reducing latency and transaction fees, positioning itself as a successor to the Fantom Opera network. Supported by the Fantom Foundation, Sonic recently unveiled its upgraded testnet, Blaze, and completed a snapshot for its S token airdrop. With a transaction finality of 720 milliseconds, Sonic aspires to be the fastest EVM chain, attracting developers with lucrative incentives.
