TikTok’s First App Layer SonicX Will Airdrop Tokens to TikTok Users

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen many ambitious projects come and go. However, Sonic SVM’s initiative to onboard TikTok users into web3 using their innovative approach truly stands out. Their strategy is not just bold, but it’s also brilliantly executed.

Sonic SVM, creators of the popular TikTok App Layer known as SonicX, recently announced an exciting new venture: a distribution of $SONIC tokens to all users who join TikTok via their platform. This daring action is in line with Sonic’s objective to connect TikTok’s massive user community with web3. The token airdrop is seen as the most effective method for swiftly achieving this aim.

A Sonic Boom

Sonic’s dream of smoothly blending the traditional web with the emerging web3 is showing tangible results. Through its SonicX platform built on TikTok, over 2 million users have joined, making use of TikTok’s immense popularity and user interaction. Although Sonic’s ambition to draw in a billion TikTok users to the web3 realm might seem daring, their inventive strategies for user acquisition and engagement demonstrate that they aren’t shy about aiming high.

If it successfully reaches this objective, it will be primarily due to two key elements: effortless user integration (onboarding) and a well-thought-out dissemination approach. For potential users, the challenges with web3 often stem from its complexity. However, Sonic simplifies these obstacles by offering a smooth onboarding experience through account abstraction technology. This allows TikTok users to log in using their existing accounts, obviating the need to establish and link a separate web3 wallet.

In this system, users don’t need to handle gas for transactions within the app; instead, they can complete transactions seamlessly. This setup mimics a traditional web2 experience while still harnessing the strengths of blockchain technology. The initial popularity of SonicX demonstrates that integrating blockchain doesn’t necessarily involve a complex learning process – it can be as simple and engaging as browsing TikTok.

Targeted Growth Through TikTok

Sonic’s strong connection as a TikTok-centric web3 platform is reinforced by its team’s close relationships with the social media titan, ByteDance. Key members of Sonic’s team, including CEO Chris Zhu, originated from within ByteDance, which is TikTok’s parent company. This inside understanding of TikTok’s workings, distribution methods, and environment has significantly contributed to the expansion of SonicX.

Through high-quality ads on TikTok, collaborations with popular creators on the platform, and targeted advertising based on algorithms, Sonic has successfully reached its intended audience. Customized campaigns tailored to various regions and demographics have attracted users effortlessly via ad and video links. Meanwhile, Sonic’s corporate TikTok account functions as a central hub for gaming tutorials, blockchain learning resources, and interactive events such as live streams and branded contests.

When $SONIC?

Although the specific date for the $SONIC airdrop hasn’t been disclosed yet, TikTok users can still meet the requirements by navigating to SonicX via the official Sonic SVM TikTok account. This initiative is one of several preparatory steps ahead of Sonic’s Token Generation Event (TGE), where eligible participants will receive token allocations as rewards.

SonicX managed to attract more than a million players within a month of its launch, indicating the platform’s viral potential and capacity for continued growth.

Instead of limiting itself to just one game or airdrop, Sonic SVM has ambitious plans to establish a TikTok-like chain via its app layer. This setup encourages effortless integration for other projects aiming to leverage TikTok’s immense user base. The debut of Mahjong 123, Sonic’s initial game on SonicX.app, signifies the commencement of this expansion, with additional content set to be added soon.
