As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting trends and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, I find myself intrigued by Sonic’s innovative approach to onboarding users onto their platform via TikTok. With my finger on the pulse of the industry, I can’t help but draw parallels with previous attempts at leveraging social media for web3 projects, such as Notcoin and Hamster Kombat on Telegram.
Solana GameFi network Sonic will airdrop free tokens to TikTok users for joining its crypto game.
As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the plans for Sonic, a gaming-focused layer-2 network built on Solana. Instead of sending SONIC tokens traditionally, they aim to distribute them to TikTok users who participate in their social media blockchain game. It’s fascinating that SonicX, a game developed using Solana’s Virtual Machine protocol, is directly integrated into TikTok, much like the games created by The Open Network team for Telegram.
The idea revolves around tapping existing web2 audiences for web3 projects, accessing millions of users already on platforms like Telegram and TikTok.
As an analyst, I’m privy to the fact that TikTok currently boasts over a billion active users monthly, a figure projected to surge beyond 2 billion by the year 2029.
SonicX, an initial layer developed by Sonic SVM for the TikTok platform, plans to share $SONIC tokens with qualifying TikTok users. With a user-friendly enrollment process, over 2 million people have already signed up—no need for external wallet setup or gas charges.
Sonic on X
Games specifically designed for social media platforms gained massive popularity on TON and Telegram. In just a few brief months, projects such as Notcoin (NOT) and Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) attracted millions of users.
Nevertheless, the surge in activity seemed temporary, as protocols witnessed a significant decline following the token airdrop. Hamster Kombat experienced a massive loss of users, with over 80% disappearing immediately after their cryptocurrency distribution. Similarly, crypto titans like Binance and Gate have published reports indicating a marked decrease in the vitality of Telegram mini apps.
