Sonic Labs 宣布在主网推出新的 L1 区块链，该区块链与 EVM 兼容，并为应用程序开发人员提供收费货币化功能

Sonic Labs 是 Fantom 基金会的更名品牌，之前负责开发 Opera 区块链，该区块链以 FTM 作为其原生代币。

Sonic Labs, formerly known as the Fantom Foundation, has announced the mainnet launch of its new L1 blockchain, Sonic. The network is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine and boasts a unique fee monetization feature for application developers.

Sonic Labs（前身为 Fantom 基金会）宣布在主网上启动其新的 L1 区块链 Sonic。该网络与以太坊虚拟机兼容，并为应用程序开发人员提供独特的费用货币化功能。

While Sonic Labs is a rebrand of the entity behind the Opera blockchain, which has FTM as its native token, the newly rolled-out network implements several upgrades, including faster transaction finality and a new token.

虽然 Sonic Labs 是 Opera 区块链背后实体的品牌重塑，该实体以 FTM 作为其原生代币，但新推出的网络实现了多项升级，包括更快的交易最终确定和新代币。

“Sonic represents the culmination of over two and a half years of hard work by the technical team, who optimized the entire execution stack of the Opera Chain, as well as many other improvements such as to the database/storage. This makes operating nodes far easier and cheaper,” wrote Sonic Labs CEO Michael Kong in an X post early Wednesday.

“Sonic 代表了技术团队两年半多辛勤工作的结晶，他们优化了 Opera Chain 的整个执行堆栈，以及数据库/存储等许多其他改进。这使得操作节点变得更加容易和便宜，”Sonic Labs 首席执行官 Michael Kong 在周三早些时候的 X 帖子中写道。

On a 1:1 basis, FTM holders can exchange their tokens for S, Sonic’s native cryptocurrency, which has several roles within the network, including paying for transaction fees, running validators, and participating in governance, according to Wednesday’s announcement.

根据周三的公告，FTM 持有者可以按照 1:1 的比例将其代币兑换为 Sonic 的原生加密货币 S，Sonic 在网络中具有多种作用，包括支付交易费用、运行验证器和参与治理。

Sonic was created to succeed Opera because “the technological advancements we achieved with our Sonic technology could not be fully integrated into Opera through a simple soft-fork upgrade. Therefore, we decided to launch an entirely new network with a new token,” according to a September 2024 blog post.

Sonic 的创建是为了继承 Opera，因为“我们通过 Sonic 技术实现的技术进步无法通过简单的软分叉升级完全集成到 Opera 中。因此，我们决定使用新代币启动一个全新的网络，”2024 年 9 月的一篇博客文章称。

The Sonic blockchain, which aims to be the fastest settlement layer for digital assets, has executed nearly 304,000 total transactions and boasts roughly 24,000 unique wallet addresses at press time.

Sonic 区块链旨在成为最快的数字资产结算层，截至发稿时已执行近 304,000 笔交易，并拥有约 24,000 个唯一钱包地址。

For those developing applications, Sonic has a fee monetization feature that rewards developers with up to 90% of network fees generated from the application. “This allows you [developers] to focus on scaling your app and growing your user base without the constant pressure of fundraising or securing additional financing,” according to Sonic’s mainnet announcement.

对于那些开发应用程序的人来说，Sonic 具有费用货币化功能，可以奖励开发者高达 90% 的应用程序产生的网络费用。根据 Sonic 的主网公告，“这使您[开发人员]能够专注于扩展您的应用程序并扩大您的用户群，而无需持续承受筹款或获得额外融资的压力。”

Max Good, an investment research analyst at venture firm Decentral Park Capital, told Unchained, “I think Sonic’s fee monetization approach could be a very interesting way to incentivize and onboard developers, and it already supports [programming languages] Solidity and Vyper, which means it will be a familiar environment for most smart contract devs.”

风险投资公司 Decentral Park Capital 的投资研究分析师 Max Good 告诉 Unchained，“我认为 Sonic 的费用货币化方法可能是一种非常有趣的激励和吸引开发人员的方式，而且它已经支持 [编程语言] Solidity 和 Vyper，这意味着对于大多数智能合约开发人员来说，这将是一个熟悉的环境。”

Aave Chan Initiative, a service provider for the largest lending protocol, posted early Wednesday to the platform’s governance forum a temperature check on whether to deploy Aave V3 on Sonic, citing the new blockchain’s fee monetization feature for applications as a potential and additional source of income for Aave.

最大借贷协议的服务提供商 Aave Chan Initiative 周三早些时候在该平台的治理论坛上发布了一份关于是否在 Sonic 上部署 Aave V3 的温度检查，并指出新的区块链应用程序的费用货币化功能是潜在的额外收入来源对于艾维来说。

Good also speculated about potential new decentralized finance primitives from Sonic Labs’ CTO Andre Cronje, who is an influential figure in the DeFi space, having helped build Yearn and introduce a widely used tokenomics design named ve(3,3).

Good 还从 Sonic Labs 的首席技术官 Andre Cronje 那里推测了潜在的新的去中心化金融原语，他是 DeFi 领域的一位有影响力的人物，帮助建立了 Yearn 并引入了一种广泛使用的代币经济学设计，名为 ve(3,3)。

Airdrop to incentivize network activity

空投以激励网络活动

In a bid to attract crypto users, developers, and liquidity providers, Sonic Labs has implemented a points system as part of the network’s airdrop of approximately 190.5 million S tokens.

为了吸引加密货币用户、开发者和流动性提供商，Sonic Labs 实施了积分系统，作为网络空投约 1.905 亿个 S 代币的一部分。

Given that the FTM token is currently trading at $1.22 and FTM holders can swap for S tokens on a 1:1 basis, the total amount allotted to Sonic’s airdrop is valued at roughly $232 million.

鉴于 FTM 代币目前的交易价格为 1.22 美元，并且 FTM 持有者可以按照 1:1 的比例兑换 S 代币，分配给 Sonic 空投的总金额约为 2.32 亿美元。

“Designed to reward meaningful user engagement within the Sonic ecosystem, these points incentivize a wide range of activities, such as early adoption, long-term loyalty, asset ownership, and active participation with apps across the platform,” Sonic’s governance documentation states.

Sonic 的治理文件指出：“这些积分旨在奖励 Sonic 生态系统中有意义的用户参与，激励各种活动，例如早期采用、长期忠诚度、资产所有权以及跨平台应用程序的积极参与。”

Earned by bridging assets onto the Sonic blockchain, maintaining liquidity within the ecosystem, and deploying cryptocurrencies on whitelisted applications, Sonic’s points are distributed across multiple seasons, with the first one ending around June 2024.

Sonic 的积分通过将资产桥接至 Sonic 区块链、维持生态系统内的流动性以及在白名单应用程序上部署加密货币来获得，该积分分布在多个季节中，第一个季节于 2024 年 6 月左右结束。

While some are looking to stress-test the network, others are excited to start transacting on Sonic because of the airdrop.

虽然有些人希望对网络进行压力测试，但另一些人则因为空投而兴奋地开始在 Sonic 上进行交易。

L1 space gets increasingly populated

L1空间越来越拥挤

The L1 ecosystem is a competitive space, with several blockchains having already launched their mainnet, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Aptos, Sui, and Ton. The number of L1 blockchains stands at over 240, according to market data from CoinGecko.

L1 生态系统是一个竞争激烈的空间，多个区块链已经推出了主网，包括以太坊、Solana、Avalanche、Aptos、Sui 和 Ton。根据 CoinGecko 的市场数据，L1 区块链的数量超过 240 个。

Hyperliquid, an L1 dedicated to trading perpetual derivatives, recently conducted its token generation event, while other L1s are expected to roll out their mainnet in 2025, including Glue, Monad, and Berachain.

Hyperliquid 是一家致力于永续衍生品交易的 L1，最近举办了代币生成活动，而其他 L1 预计将于 2025 年推出其主网，包括 Glue、Monad 和 Berachain。

“The big question is who can build the next [generation] ecosystem of sticky [decentralized applications] to gravitate users,” added Good, of Decentral Park Capital.

Decentral Park Capital 的 Good 补充道：“最大的问题是谁能够构建下一代粘性（去中心化应用程序）生态系统来吸引用户。”
