Sonic


Sonic API is available on Web3 API platform.

Sonic is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency transactions, aiming to process over 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality.

Key Features of Sonic:

  • High Throughput and Speed: Sonic achieves transaction finality in approximately 720 milliseconds, positioning it among the fastest EVM-compatible blockchains.
  • Developer Incentives: The platform offers attractive incentives, including a fee monetization program that allows developers to earn up to 90% of the fees generated by their applications.
  • EVM Compatibility: Sonic's compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine enables seamless deployment of existing Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) without significant modifications.
  • Secure Ethereum Gateway: Sonic provides a secure bridge to Ethereum, facilitating easy access to Ethereum's liquidity and assets while maintaining high transaction speeds and low costs.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Sonic — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Sonic node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
