The Fantom Foundation has announced the launch of Fantom Sonic, a new blockchain technology designed to significantly enhance transaction processing speeds and efficiency across decentralized finance (DeFi). Developed over two years, Fantom Sonic aims to serve as a shared sequencer for Layer 1 and Layer 2 chains, boasting capabilities of handling 180 million daily transactions with sub-second finality. This technology is expected to mark a substantial evolution from the current Opera chain's 200 transactions per second (TPS) to 2,000 TPS, with a late launch date. The initiative also includes plans for a new bridge to bolster its infrastructure, addressing security concerns heightened by last year's hack on Multichain. The Fantom Foundation's CEO, Michael Kong, has unveiled Sonic's roadmap, highlighting its potential to relaunch Fantom as a best-in-class platform for blockchain operations.
