Overview

Sonic is an EVM blockchain featuring the native S token, which is used for transaction fees, staking, running validators, and participating in governance.

Sonic is migrating from the Fantom Opera chain and its FTM token. Users holding FTM can now upgrade to S.

Users

Users holding FTM: If you're a user holding FTM wanting to upgrade to the S token, follow the instructions on the Sonic Upgrade Handbook. Users holding app tokens: If you're a user holding an app token on Opera, follow the instructions on the App Token Migration page.

Developers

If you're an Opera app developer wanting to migrate to Sonic, follow the instructions on the App Token Migration page.

Validators

If you run a validator node on Opera and you choose to migrate, please follow these steps:

• Un-delegate your stake first.

• Wait at least 2 epochs (≈15 minutes) before you shut down your node.

• Turn off the node and back up your validator key securely.
