Why Sonic (Formerly Fantom) Focuses on High-Speed Transactions

Sonic, previously known as Fantom, is a blockchain platform that prioritizes high-speed transactions to address the limitations of traditional networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The primary reason for this focus is scalability. Conventional blockchains struggle with slow transaction speeds and high fees, making them less efficient for real-world applications such as DeFi, gaming, and enterprise solutions.

Sonic achieves its speed through its unique Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based consensus mechanism, which processes transactions asynchronously. This means transactions are confirmed in parallel rather than sequentially, significantly reducing latency and increasing throughput. As a result, Sonic can process thousands of transactions per second (TPS) at a fraction of the cost compared to older blockchains.

By offering near-instant finality and low fees, Sonic enhances user experience and fosters broader adoption of blockchain technology. It is particularly beneficial for applications requiring rapid interactions, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), payments, and gaming.

The rebranding from Fantom to Sonic underscores the platform’s commitment to speed and innovation. As blockchain technology evolves, Sonic aims to be at the forefront of scalable and efficient solutions, ensuring that users and developers can leverage high-performance blockchain infrastructure without compromise.
