What is Sonic Blockchain?

Sonic is the next-generation Layer-1 blockchain that powers INFINITY and the entire $8 ecosystem. Think of it as Ethereum's performance meeting Solana's speed, but with revolutionary economic incentives that actually benefit users and developers.

The Evolution from Fantom

Sonic is the complete rebrand and upgrade of Fantom (FTM), one of crypto's most battle-tested blockchains:

• Migration period: 90 days bidirectional, then one-way only
• Token swap: 1:1 ratio (1 FTM = 1 S)
• Mainnet launch: December 2024
• Same security, better everything

Performance That Actually Matters

Speed That Changes Everything

• 10,000 TPS vs. Ethereum's ~15 TPS
• Sub-second finality vs. minutes on other chains
• Near-zero gas fees (fractions of a cent)
• EVM compatible - all your favorite tools work

Why This Matters for INFINITY

• Instant mining rewards with no waiting
• Immediate trading with no delays
• Cheap interactions with FeeM flywheel
• Seamless UX that doesn't feel like crypto

Revolutionary FeeM System

What Makes Sonic Different

While other blockchains keep all network fees, Sonic shares 90% with apps:

• 10% to validators for network security
• 90% to FeeM contracts for app developers
• Real revenue sharing not just promises

How INFINITY Benefits

Every transaction using $8 generates revenue:

• Gas fees flow directly to INFINITY treasury
• More usage = more income for the flywheel
• Sustainable economics independent of token price
• Automatic buybacks and burns powered by real revenue

Technical Excellence
