On January 9, 2025, the Layer-2 network Sonic SVM on Solana officially launches the SONIC token and announces an exciting airdrop program for TikTok gamers.
SONIC Token Launch Event
Sonic SVM, a Layer-2 network built on $SOL specializing in games, has confirmed the token release event (Token Generation Event) on January 9, 2025. This is a significant step in expanding the 'tap-to-earn' gaming ecosystem that is attracting attention on TikTok.
Along with this event, the token #SONIC will be distributed through airdrop to players who make progress in the SonicX game, a tap-to-earn game developed on TikTok. This is a way for Sonic SVM to show appreciation to the gaming community that has supported and engaged with the platform.
Airdrop Program and Token Allocation
According to Sonic SVM's CEO, Chris Zhu, 7% of the total supply of SONIC tokens will be allocated for the first airdrop. Eligible recipients include:
• SonicX players on TikTok.
• Node operators.
• Owners of special NFTs related to the project.
Airdrop participants have two options:
1. Receive immediately 60% of the tokens, with the remaining locked for 6 months, then rewarded an additional 140%.
2. Receive the entire token amount immediately without additional rewards.
The feature for tracking eligibility for the airdrop has been implemented since January 3, 2025, allowing players to check their status and the number of tokens they will receive.
Future Directions and Vision of Sonic SVM
The SONIC token will play a crucial role in Sonic SVM's tap-to-earn ecosystem, from game integration to interaction with AI tools.
According to Chris Zhu, Sonic SVM is building a robust platform for other game studios to develop on Layer-2 #solana . 30% of the total supply of SONIC tokens will be allocated to 'Ecosystem and Community,' including grants for game development studios. Additionally, 20% of the supply will be used as rewards for validators and node operators.
Currently, the SonicX game on TikTok has attracted over 2 million players, surpassing the milestone of 1 million players in November 2024. Sonic SVM believes that TikTok is not only an effective channel for attracting users but also has the potential to expand into other Web3 projects.
Conclusion
The launch of the SONIC token not only marks a significant advancement for Sonic SVM but also opens new opportunities for the Web3 community and TikTok players. If you are a blockchain gaming enthusiast or looking for opportunities to participate in the Solana ecosystem, this is a moment not to be missed!
