View ChartSonic SVM (SONIC) is the programmable Attention Network on Solana, designed to bridge on-chain activity with off-chain signals and build transparent Attention Capital Markets on Solana. It is recognized as the first atomic Solana Virtual Machine Layer 2 chain extension network on Solana, optimized specifically for gaming and high-frequency applications. The network operates as a high-speed execution layer that leverages SVM technology to deliver near-instantaneous performance for decentralized applications.
Powered by Sonic HyperGrid, a framework for orchestrating optimistic Solana rollups, Sonic SVM enables sovereign game economies that roll up to Solana. The project launched on January 7, 2025, and has a total supply of 2.4 billion SONIC tokens. The token circulates on the Solana platform and serves as a utility token for staking, rewards distribution, and various ecosystem activities. Sonic SVM aims to allow Ethereum builders to deploy EVM programs with lightning-fast speeds and minimal costs while enabling developers to write EVM code and execute it as SVM contracts.
The tokenomics model underwent an overhaul that replaced token burns with a buy-and-lock mechanism. Under this structure, 50% of all transaction fees are used to purchase SONIC tokens. The token serves multiple utility functions including staking, margin trading, and rewards distribution at the protocol level.
Sonic SVM was founded by Chris Zhu, who serves as Founder and CEO. Chris Zhu is also the Co-Founder and CEO of SonicSVM and has been listed as Founder and CEO of DonutAI. He has publicly discussed how Sonic SVM enables sovereign game economies that roll up to Solana. The project is backed by major investors including Bitkraft and Galaxy Interactive. A general partner at Galaxy Interactive is referenced in connection with the multimillion-dollar fund for Web3 gaming and AI agents. The legal entity behind the project is Mirror World Inc. d/b/a Sonic SVM, with certain services provided by Mirror World Foundation. The initiative is described as New York-based.
Sonic SVM operates as the first atomic SVM Layer 2 network on Solana, powered by Sonic HyperGrid. This framework orchestrates optimistic Solana rollups, enabling seamless execution of transactions without requiring the redeployment of Solana programs and accounts. The atomic SVM chain allows developers to write for EVM but execute on SVM through HyperGrid's interpreter framework, providing cross-chain compatibility that bridges Ethereum development with Solana execution.
The network implements an Attention Capital Market model that turns attention into capital through three stages. First, Capture Attention brings off-chain signals such as views, clicks, and social activity on-chain alongside wallet connections, staking, and transactions through Sonic's oracles. Second, Measure and Reward aggregates all actions into Attention Epochs, where each program receives an Attention Score and higher scores unlock greater rewards directly at the protocol level. Third, Reinvest and Grow allows rewards to be reinvested into user incentives, new features, or marketing, creating a loop where attention drives rewards and rewards generate more attention.
The Attention Measurement Pipeline consists of four steps: capturing verifiable on-chain and off-chain user actions, aggregating and verifying events through HSSN and oracle modules, scoring and computing per-epoch Base, Authority, and Final Attention Scores using transparent scoring rules, and distributing rewards programmatically to eligible programs in proportion to their Final Attention Scores.
Sonic SVM distinguishes itself as the first atomic SVM Layer 2 chain extension network on Solana, creating a clear niche in the competitive SVM landscape. Its focus on gaming and high-frequency applications positions it as a modern version of blockchain gaming infrastructure. The Attention Capital Market model represents an innovative approach to converting user engagement into measurable, rewardable capital through transparent scoring mechanisms.
The network's ability to enable sovereign game economies that roll up to Solana provides developers with scalability and reliability while opening new revenue streams and monetization opportunities. For institutions, Sonic SVM offers transparent data, compliance-ready features, efficient incentives, and robust infrastructure. For individual users, it creates a new asset class where attention becomes capital, supported by strong traction, compounding growth, and ecosystem leverage.
The strategic partnership with TikTok integration and the multimillion-dollar fund for Web3 gaming and AI agents demonstrate the project's commitment to expanding its ecosystem. The Trader Intelligence Framework launched in September 2026, jointly introduced with Manic, represents the first method to independently measure a trader's judgment accuracy and decompose the sources of wallet profitability.
SONIC functions as a utility token on the Solana blockchain with several primary use cases. It is used for staking within the network, allowing token holders to participate in securing and supporting the ecosystem. The token facilitates margin trading and is available for Simple Earn flexible products. At the protocol level, SONIC is used for rewards distribution to programs based on their Attention Scores.
The token also plays a central role in the Attention Capital Market model, where rewards can be reinvested into user incentives, new features, or marketing initiatives. Developers can use SONIC within the ecosystem to build, engage, and earn through new revenue streams and monetization opportunities. The token serves as the economic foundation for sovereign game economies that roll up to Solana, enabling transactions, staking, and incentive mechanisms across the network's DeFi, NFT, gaming, and meme project ecosystem.
The Sonic SVM ecosystem has been actively developing since its launch in January 2025. In January 2025, the project launched a multimillion-dollar fund for Web3 gaming and AI agents. A $1 million hackathon ran from February 17 to March 14, 2025, aimed at accelerating native decentralized application development across content creation for capital markets, DeFi projects, AI tools, and gaming applications. The Mobius mainnet launch on February 27, 2025, introduced capital markets on SVM.
By May 27, 2025, Sonic SVM unveiled a robust ecosystem of DeFi, NFT, games, and meme projects, with over $1.18 million in total value locked and $9 million in additional metrics. The network attracted over 2 million users. Strategic partnerships include TikTok integration. Developer resources include White Paper, Developer Documentation, RPC, Explorer, Faucet, Bridge, Stake, Foundation, and HyperFuse Node.
The ecosystem faced challenges when KuCoin announced the delisting of Sonic SVM and 20 other projects in August 2026, with trading pairs removed on August 14, 2026, and withdrawal services closing on September 14, 2026. However, in August 2026, margin trading went live on BTCC with SONIC margin trading and Simple Earn flexible products. In September 2026, the Trader Intelligence Framework was launched, and the community continues to engage with fresh utility launches alongside exchange developments.
Sonic SVM does not use traditional mining mechanisms. As a Solana Virtual Machine Layer 2 network, it operates on a proof-of-stake consensus model through the Solana blockchain. Instead of mining, participants can engage with the network through staking mechanisms. SONIC tokens can be staked to support the network and earn rewards as part of the protocol's incentive structure.
The network's rewards distribution operates through the Attention Capital Market model, where programs receive rewards based on their Attention Scores. Higher scores unlock greater rewards directly at the protocol level. Additionally, the buy-and-lock mechanism uses 50% of all transaction fees to purchase SONIC tokens, creating ongoing buy pressure and supporting the token's value within the ecosystem. Users can also participate through various ecosystem activities including bridging, staking, and using the HyperFuse Node infrastructure.
Keeping SONIC tokens safe requires adherence to established cryptocurrency security practices. Store tokens in reputable wallets that support Solana-based assets, and consider using hardware wallets for significant holdings. Always verify official website URLs and social media accounts before interacting with any platform, as the official website is https://www.sonic.game/ and the official Twitter account is @SonicSVM.
Enable two-factor authentication on all exchange accounts and never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Be cautious of phishing attempts and unofficial channels claiming to represent Sonic SVM. When using bridges, staking, or other ecosystem features, ensure you are interacting with official, verified interfaces. Given the regulatory uncertainty and the KuCoin delisting event, users should stay informed about exchange announcements and withdraw assets promptly when required. Diversifying storage solutions and maintaining awareness of market developments are essential practices for protecting your SONIC holdings.
