FAQ

Check out the most frequently asked questions about Sonic and its S token.

S Token

Where can I buy or sell S?

You can acquire S on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on Sonic and most centralized exchanges (CEXs).

Will the S token have any inflation?

The S token will not experience inflation during the first six months after Sonic's launch. Following that period, the network will mint S tokens per previously approved governance votes to enable an airdrop, ecosystem growth, and validator rewards. To ensure efficient use of any additional tokens, a number of new burn mechanisms and improvements are also outlined in the votes.

Is there an S airdrop?

Yes. We're planning an airdrop of 190,500,000 S to incentivize users of Sonic.

Sonic Chain

Is Sonic EVM compatible?

Yes. The Sonic chain is fully EVM compatible, allowing any app developed for other EVM chains to be deployed on Sonic without changes in their code.

Can apps on Sonic be coded with Solidity and Vyper?

Yes. Since Sonic is EVM compatible, apps can be coded with both Solidity and Vyper.

How many transactions per second (TPS) can Sonic handle?

Sonic can process around 400,000 TPS with complete 1-block finality.

Is there a Sonic testnet?

Yes. You can immediately access the Sonic testnet to deploy your apps and experience the speed of Sonic.

Is there an incentive program for developers to build on Sonic?

Yes. Sonic Labs is running a massive incentive program, which includes the Fee Monetization program that rewards developers with up to 90% of the fees their apps generate, and the Innovator Fund that offers up to 200,000,000 S to expedite the immediate adoption of apps to Sonic and support new ventures.
