**Sonic's Testnet Hits 1 Million Users, Showcasing Web3 Gaming Growth**

Sonic, the pioneering gaming-focused Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) layer 2, has seen its testnet surpass one million monthly active users. This surge, driven by the Odyssey testnet campaign, resulted in over 600 million transactions. Users earned rewards, dubbed 'rings,' for engaging with the testnet and completing tasks within eight games, including popular titles like Rage Effect and JogoJogo.

CEO Chris Zhu highlights the need for better "soft" infrastructure, such as marketing and project support, to boost Web3 gaming. Despite challenges, Sonic secured $12 million in Series A funding, emphasizing Solana's rising prominence in the Web3 gaming space.
