Highlight of Community Posts About Fantom Sonic
After announcing Fantom Sonic and releasing its testnet environment, we were thrilled to watch the community engage with the brand-new network capable of handling beyond 2,000 transactions per second with a one-second finality.
We compiled some of the best posts on X from the Fantom community about Sonic below.
Rumor has it that Fantom will hand out participation trophies to wallets that can’t keep up with Sonic.
Bruh, Fantom Sonic is literally so much faster than the Metamask UI.

For innovation to be groundbreaking, it needs to make everything before it feel antiquated.
We played with the #FantomSonic testnet, and we've gotta say - It's the fastest on-chain experience we've ever encountered.

We definitely like this take more than the original. (Sorry, Vitalik.)
Long story short, Vitalik is saying that Fantom a better blockchain network because Fantom is a Layer 1 who provides all: security, storage, speed, scalibility, without a need for Layer 2s. $FTM

Pochi giorni fa è passata in sordina una notizia che ha del potenziale enorme: Fantom ha rilasciato la testnet per il suo nuovo aggiornamento Fantom Sonic.

Did someone say monumental shift!?
It just seems everything @FantomFDN has achieved with this upgrade is gearing towards a monumental shift in how chains are expected to run. Away with the bulky, slow, expensive dinosaurs. It's a new era with streamlined tech, ready to take mainstream by storm! #FTM $FTM https://t.co/FAP7Qq6dib

You heard it here first, everyone! Faster than any has ever been.
Based on our internal testing and research at @HyperchainC, Fantom Sonic is faster than any other blockchain has ever been.

Frequently asked questions
The launch of Sonic comprises three main components that scale Fantom to new heights:
● A new virtual machine, the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), which increases our transaction throughput significantly while maintaining ultra-short finality.
● A new database storage, Carmen, which reduces storage requirements by up to 90%, providing greater cost efficiency for validators and accelerating the Foundation’s ability to deploy archive nodes from weeks to approximately 36 hours.
● An optimized Lachesis consensus mechanism, which brings a vastly improved transaction pool.
Fantom Sonic is in its testnet stage at the moment and will roll out as a mainnet to replace Fantom Opera in spring 2024. Currently, Sonic offers two different testnets: the closed testnet aims to showcase the maximum theoretical limits of Sonic, whereas the open testnet is interactive, allowing any user to experience Sonic directly.
Most importantly, this new virtual machine allows Fantom validators to execute smart contracts more efficiently.
The closed testnet is viewable only and aims to showcase the maximum theoretical limits of Sonic, whereas the open testnet is interactive, allowing any user to experience Sonic directly.
However, there may be even more significant performance gains with further testing that may require a hard fork in the future, but the current plan is not to hard fork Fantom Opera.
