Sonic, the first gaming L2 infrastructure on the Solana blockchain, has achieved remarkable success within just one week of launching its Sonic Testnet Odyssey. The platform has processed over 17 million transactions and gained more than 100,000 unique wallets, signaling its immense potential and high demand.
Designed exclusively for gaming on Solana, Sonic offers various features to facilitate game development and execution. These include extensible data types, a sandbox environment, and customized gaming primitives. Leveraging Solana’s lightning-fast performance, Sonic provides the fastest on-chain video game experiences.
In a short span of 36 hours during the Sonic Testnet Odyssey, the platform has already accumulated over 45,000 wallets and processed 3.2 million transactions. This rapid adoption of its L2 infrastructure showcases its growing popularity.
A significant portion of transactions on Sonic is attributed to users engaging with Sonic-based games connected to the Odyssey campaign. These games, such as Jogojogo, Fomoney, Rage Effect, and Lowlife Forms, reward users who complete a transaction within them.
While Solana has become the most retail-friendly blockchain network due to its memecoin boom incentives and easy onboarding, Solana gaming has not seen the same level of success as other sectors like DeFi, NFTs, and SocialFi. This is where the Sonic protocol stands out, as it enables developers to swiftly deploy their own lightning-fast SBM chain, assisting GameFi projects and other initiatives seeking a home on Solana.
Developed by Mirror World Labs, a GameFi infrastructure company with two years of experience, Sonic has announced plans for expansion, including ecosystem grants and accelerator programs. These initiatives aim to facilitate the adoption of Sonic SVM and the HyperGrid Framework, which serves as a grid deployment kit, allowing developers to quickly create new SVM environments for new games on Solana.
This latest milestone follows Sonic’s recent $12 million Series A investment round, led by BITKRAFT and featuring participation from Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, and other investors.
To meet the increased demand, Sonic has made significant upgrades to the Sonic Testnet Odyssey, enhancing its speed and stability. The platform has already witnessed successful game launches, such as Snake Lite, a tap-to-earn game based on Telegram.
In the coming months, Sonic’s team has a busy schedule, including hosting the Solana Kick Off: Shenzhen event in collaboration with RateX and participating in the Kyoto Web3 Gaming Summer event at #IVS2024.
