How Sonic Differs from Traditional Blockchains
Sonic, formerly known as Fantom, sets itself apart from traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum through its innovative architecture and high-speed processing. Unlike conventional blockchains that rely on linear block confirmations, Sonic utilizes a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based consensus mechanism called Lachesis. This allows transactions to be processed asynchronously, enabling thousands of transactions per second (TPS) with near-instant finality.
Traditional blockchains suffer from congestion, slow transaction speeds, and high fees due to their sequential processing of blocks. Bitcoin, for example, can only handle around 7 TPS, while Ethereum processes about 30 TPS. In contrast, Sonic’s DAG-based approach eliminates bottlenecks, significantly increasing scalability without compromising security.
Another key difference is Sonic’s energy efficiency. Traditional blockchains use Proof-of-Work (PoW), which requires extensive computational power, leading to high energy consumption. Sonic, on the other hand, operates on a more sustainable Proof-of-Stake (PoS)-based model, reducing environmental impact while maintaining security.
Sonic also offers lower transaction fees, making it ideal for applications like DeFi, gaming, and real-world payments. With its focus on speed, scalability, and sustainability, Sonic represents the next generation of blockchain technology, addressing the inefficiencies of traditional networks while enabling seamless, high-performance transactions.
