In a move that could only be described as a match made in the digital heavens, Sonic Labs—once known as Fantom, but let’s not dwell on past identities—has announced that Chainlink’s rather impressive cross-chain interoperability protocol has decided to take a leisurely stroll on the Sonic mainnet. 🌍✨
Now, with the integration of Chainlink (LINK), developers can finally get their hands on the delightful features and benefits of this oracle network’s infrastructure. Yes, folks, it’s like finding a five-pound note in an old coat pocket—unexpected but oh-so-welcome!
According to their announcement—because what good news doesn’t come wrapped in a digital scroll?—developers can now use this shiny new technology to whip up decentralized applications that can frolic not just on Sonic, but across other blockchain networks too. And let’s not forget the cherry on top: Sonic Labs has also adopted Chainlink’s Data Streams and Data Feeds, which sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, doesn’t it? 📚🚀
“Developers in the Sonic blockchain ecosystem asked for Chainlink, and we’re thrilled that it’s now live on Sonic mainnet. Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams, and Data Feeds are critical for unlocking an array of novel cross-chain use cases and powering the next generation of high-performance DeFi apps,” said Sam Harcourt, the business development lead at Sonic Labs. A title that sounds far more impressive than it probably is! 😏
Now, let’s get to the juicy bits! The key benefits of this integration include enhanced network security (because who doesn’t want to feel safe in the wild west of the internet?), programmable and cross-chain tokens (which is just a fancy way of saying you can play with your money across different platforms), and arbitrary messaging (like sending a digital postcard but with fewer stamps and more zeros). 📬💰
Chainlink’s standard has already charmed its way into the hearts of major financial institutions and platforms, including Fidelity International, Swift, and ANZ Bank. It’s like the popular kid in school that everyone wants to be friends with! The protocol is also integrated with leading DeFi projects such as Lido, Aave, and GMX. Meanwhile, Sonic’s Ethereum Virtual Machine L1 launched its mainnet in December 2024, just in time for the holiday season!
Now, if you’re wondering about performance, Sonic is capable of handling a whopping 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality. That’s faster than a cat can decide whether to knock something off a table! 🐱💨
Earlier this month, Sonic also adopted stablecoin issuer Circle’s bridged USDC (USDC) standard. The launch of bridged USDC on the blockchain, via the Sonic Gateway, aims to jumpstart developer activity. Additionally, a proposal for Aave v3 integration with Sonic passed a temp check stage in December, which sounds like a fancy way of saying, “We’re almost there!”
