Previously known as the L1 public chain Fantom, Sonic Labs announced on Twitter on 12/3 that its mainnet Sonic has successfully generated the first transaction block and is expected to be open to users soon. Meanwhile, Sonic Labs has also completed the airdrop snapshot for its token $S.
The first block is born, announcing the summoning of the Sonic mainnet.
Sonic Labs announced on 12/3 that its mainnet has successfully generated the first transaction block, symbolizing the completion of the 'Genesis' phase. Sonic Labs also indicated earlier that they are 'summoning the Sonic mainnet', which will soon be open to users.
Sonic Labs informs everyone that they are summoning the Sonic mainnet.

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