Key claims
FTM reaches $1 before Sonic mainnet
Over 65 TPS on testnet
Gas monetization up to 90% to builders
$FTM will hit $1 before Sonic mainnet is live and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Why? ➤ No predatory VC tokenomics ➤ No VC unlocks and almost fully diluted supply ➤ High-Performance EVM, parallel executing coming ➤ 320ms finality (on testnet) ➤ >65 TPS already (more than almost any L2 already) ➤ Natively integrated credit scoring system & other unique DeFi primitives ➤ Gas monetization (up to 90% goes to builders) ➤ Sonic Boom and Airdrop Program ➤ Native stablecoin & liquid staking ➤ Highly secure gateway to Ethereum ➤ @AndreCronjeTech is the CTO at @0xSonicLabs ➤ Degen branding/marketing gives it unique vibe/positioning ➤ Existing ecosystem of apps & users already here ➤ Massive partnerships (incl @aave, @LayerZero_Labs & more) NFA but at least DYOR anon. Once mainnet hits and the $S migration happens, things will go wild.
