Sonic vs other high-throughput chains
Sonic (Formerly Fantom) vs. High-Throughput Chains: A New Performance Paradigm
Sonic, the next-generation evolution of Fantom, is redefining high-throughput blockchain performance. Boasting over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second finality, Sonic rivals and surpasses many leading layer-1 chains. Compared to Solana, which achieves 400–800 TPS in real-world conditions, and Avalanche, which handles around 4,500 TPS through subnet scaling, Sonic provides competitive performance without compromising decentralization.
One standout feature is Sonic’s compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), ensuring seamless integration with existing dApps and tooling, unlike Solana’s Rust-based architecture. Moreover, Sonic introduces shared sequencer infrastructure, allowing for parallel execution and scalability across multiple appchains—a feature aimed at enabling modular, high-throughput ecosystems akin to Cosmos or Celestia, but with greater execution speed.
Security is enhanced via Sonic’s proof-of-stake consensus, combined with advanced cryptographic optimizations. Additionally, Sonic’s architecture supports a thriving DePIN ecosystem, positioning it uniquely among performance-oriented chains.
In summary, Sonic blends Fantom’s original speed-focused ethos with modern modularity and EVM compatibility. As high-throughput demands grow across DeFi, gaming, and DePIN applications, Sonic’s technical upgrades may well place it ahead of current-gen layer-1s in both scalability and developer usability.
