Sonic SVM Expands its Ecosystem Across Multiple Verticals

Following its mainnet launch and the Mobius Hackathon, which drew over 250 project submissions, Sonic has attracted a range of protocols

Sonic SVM, the first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) chain extension, has announced the expansion of its ecosystem across multiple verticals.

Following its mainnet launch and the Mobius Hackathon, which saw over 250 project submissions, Sonic has attracted a range of protocols that leverage its high-performance infrastructure to build next-generation Web3 applications.

“The rapid development of our ecosystem demonstrates the versatility and performance advantages of Sonic SVM,” said Chris Zhu, CEO and co-founder at Sonic.

“These projects represent the beginning of a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem that’s building critical infrastructure across DeFi, NFTs, and social applications.”

Flagship Ecosystem Projects

SEGA: Next-Generation DEX with ve(3,3) Mechanics

SEGA has emerged as the leading DEX on Sonic SVM, pioneering the ve(3,3) model and redefining attention capital markets through its innovative launchpad.

With over $1.18 million in TVL and $9 million in cumulative trading volume, SEGA has quickly established itself as the backbone of Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem.

Key metrics for the project include a peak daily trading volume of over $1 million, a community of more than 30,000 members, and a launchpad equipped with advanced functionality to support new token launches and ecosystem growth.

“SEGA is built to capitalize on Sonic’s superior performance, allowing us to create trading experiences that weren’t possible on other chains,” said a SEGA representative.

“Our ve(3,3) model creates stronger alignment between liquidity providers and token holders, while our launchpad is designed specifically for the attention economy.”

Chaos Finance: Capital-Efficient Liquid Staking

Chaos Finance is rolling out the first liquid staking protocol tailored for Sonic SVM, giving users a way to help secure the network without locking up their assets. Built on StaFi’s LSaaS tech, the protocol is designed for smooth staking and deeper DeFi connections.

So far, over 765K SONIC tokens have been staked, with more than 754,000 sSONIC now in circulation. The on-chain game FoMoney has also jumped in, integrating sSONIC as part of its in-game economy.

“Liquid staking is critical infrastructure for any blockchain ecosystem,” a Chaos Finance representative noted. “Our protocol allows users to simultaneously secure the network and participate in DeFi opportunities, maximizing capital efficiency while supporting Sonic’s decentralization.”

Goodr: From Memes to Anime IP Tokenization

Initially launched as Sonic SVM’s first meme token launchpad, Goodr is evolving into the world’s first UGC IP token platform for anime enthusiasts. The platform will enable fans to mint tokens inspired by official anime content through partnerships with Japanese IP holders.

“Goodr transforms attention into on-chain activity and liquidity,” a Goodr representative explained. “We’re not just launching meme tokens – we’re building a bridge between anime fandom and Web3, starting with our beta release on May 20th.”

Goodr will also release the SonicSVM Meme Kit (SDK), enabling builders to easily launch meme tokens within the ecosystem. Additionally, a strategic partnership between SEGA and Goodr will strengthen user acquisition and retention across the ecosystem.

Chillonic: Revolutionary NFT Collection with Chill-404 Protocol

Chillonic has launched the first NFT collection on Sonic SVM, featuring the groundbreaking Chill-404 Protocol that bridges the gap between NFTs and memecoins. This innovative technology enables users to seamlessly convert between NFTs and fungible tokens, addressing liquidity challenges while preserving the unique identity and rarity of digital collectibles.

“Our protocol represents a paradigm shift in how digital assets function,” said a Chillonic representative. “By allowing seamless conversion between NFTs and tokens, we’re creating a new asset class that combines the best of both worlds.”

FoMoney: The First Fully-on-chain Game on Sonic SVM

FoMoney is a fully on-chain game on Sonic SVM that merges the 2048 game with Fomo3D. It aims to build a Game Asset Layer, enabling holders of SONIC’s LST (sSONIC) to generate yields while engaging in immersive gameplay.

Since launching on the Sonic testnet, FoMoney has onboarded over 1 million on-chain players and facilitated more than 200 million transactions. FoMoney envisions the creation of an On-chain Playground capable of generating economic value for Sonic’s Attention Capital Market.

Building a Complete Ecosystem

These flagship projects form the foundation of a rapidly expanding ecosystem on Sonic SVM. With complementary functionalities spanning trading, staking, meme culture, and digital collectibles, they demonstrate the versatility of Sonic's infrastructure for supporting diverse Web3 applications.

“What’s particularly exciting is how these projects are already beginning to integrate with each other,” added Freiheit, Head of DeFi from Sonic. “The partnership between SEGA and Chillonic, Chaos and FoMoney
