In partnership with Magna, a token management solution provider, Sonic SVM offers two claim options for eligible users for the SONIC Initial Claim. Option 1 allows users to claim 60% now and vest the remaining 40% over a six-month period, starting six months after the Token Generation Event (TGE), with a 140% bonus. Option 2 allows users to claim the full airdrop amount immediately.
In order to further facilitate the claiming process, Sonic SVM is providing free gas to eligible users via the TikTok social media application. This includes users who have logged in through TikTok and those meeting the Odyssey criteria or completing SonicX tasks. Free gas claims are available for 72 hours on a first-come, first-served basis, starting today.
The TGE is scheduled for 12:00 PM UTC on January 7th, separate from the mainnet launch.

Sonic is the first Layer 2 network built on Solana specifically designed for sovereign games, utilizing the HyperGrid framework, which is based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for horizontal scaling. In 2024, the project successfully raised $12 million in a Series A funding round, led by Bitkraft Ventures, with additional participation from Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, and other investors. The round included both equity and token warrants, bringing Sonic’s fully diluted valuation to $100 million.
