Sonic Adoption Grows as Trust Wallet Adds $S and Aave Deploys Lending Markets

Trust Wallet has officially added support for Sonic’s native token, S.

In an announcement on March 3, 2025, the crypto wallet service provider stated that its users can now send, receive, store, and track the token directly within the Trust Wallet mobile app.

Sonic, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain previously known as Fantom, has gained traction recently. Alongside the name change, the project team launched its mainnet in December 2024, transitioning to an EVM-compatible network with transaction finality of 720 milliseconds. By March 2025, Sonic had surpassed $300 million in total value locked (TVL) and onboarded over 40 dApps.

Meanwhile, Aave has deployed its newest v3 platform and lending markets on the blockchain. The DeFi protocol’s move followed a governance proposal from its developer team, which received full support from the protocol’s community.

Sonic’s unique fee-sharing model was one of the motivations for the move. The project team noted that the protocol would get an additional revenue stream thanks to the blockchain’s feature that allows protocols hosted on it to earn a portion of transaction fees generated by user activity. The Aave team also cited the track record of Sonic’s development team and its innovative blockchain infrastructure as strong reasons for expansion.

“Sonic’s focus on its innovative revenue-sharing model and team expertise creates a compelling opportunity for Aave to expand its reach and participate in a growing, community-oriented DeFi ecosystem,”

said Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs, The Block reported.

Aave’s integration into Sonic is backed by liquidity commitments, including $15 million from the Sonic Foundation, 50 million Sonic-native $S tokens, and $800,000 in stablecoins from Aave.

As of press time, S was trading at $0.6564, a 14.49% decrease in the last 24 hours and a 21.48% decrease in the last seven days.
