Sonic Launches Validator Program to Enhance Solana SVM Chain Performance

Sonic (Sonic SVM), a Solana-based Layer 2 scalability solution, announced on the 26th that it has officially launched its validator program.

Key infrastructure partners such as Restake, Stakin, and Adrastea have joined as initial validators, and through this, Sonic plans to accelerate the expansion of decentralized infrastructure.

Sonic provides high-performance infrastructure for gaming and social applications (apps) using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The validator program has introduced a dual reward structure to attract various validators to operate the network stably.

Validators can choose between a self-staking or delegation-based model and can generate various revenues through user delegation and network fee sharing. The delegation fee rate can be freely set within 0-20%.

Sonic has lowered the participation barrier for new validators through a performance-based reward system and systematic technical support, and is expanding infrastructure capable of supporting millions of concurrent users.

Chris Zhu, Sonic's co-founder and CEO, said, "Collaboration with verified partners is a key stage in the infrastructure roadmap," and "Through this partnership, we will expand performance-centric infrastructure to ensure that games and social apps with traffic of millions can operate stably."

Meanwhile, Sonic recently introduced the Solana Attention Capital Market protocol, starting to tokenize on-chain assets by quantifying dApp user engagement. It is designed so that developers are rewarded based on actual user reactions, and users can experience improved services. The protocol is set to launch on the mainnet in the third quarter after undergoing a testnet in June.
