Fantom was a top 20 blockchain. It had a problem. So they did something almost no project has ever done โ they scrapped everything and rebuilt from scratch.
Meet Sonic. And the old chain shuts down permanently on June 30, 2026.
โฆ Sonic processes more than 10,000 transactions per second with each transaction completing in under 1 second โ using parallel execution that allows multiple transactions to process simultaneously instead of one by one (KuCoin)
โฆ Developers on Sonic earn up to 90% of all network fees generated by their applications through the FeeM program โ making it one of the most developer-friendly blockchains ever built (DEXTools)
โฆ Any smart contract written for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, or any EVM chain can be redeployed on Sonic with minimal changes โ giving it instant access to the entire Ethereum developer ecosystem (DEXTools)
โฆ Andre Cronje โ the legendary DeFi developer who built Yearn Finance and protocols that processed hundreds of billions in volume โ is the technical lead for Sonic. His new DEX on Sonic was valued at $1 billion and raised $25.5 million (Traders Union)
โฆ The legacy Fantom Opera network officially shuts down on June 30, 2026 โ users with unmigrated FTM tokens must complete their 1:1 swap to S before this deadline or risk losing access (Bitcoin Foundation)
A complete rebuild. The creator of Yearn Finance leading development. 10,000 TPS. Developers earning 90% of fees.
Most blockchains evolve slowly. Sonic burned the old version down and started fresh.
