HTX Research Launches Sonic Blockchain to Lead DeFi 2.0 Evolution

HTX Research has unveiled Sonic, a new blockchain infrastructure designed to tackle the scalability challenges that have historically slowed DeFi platforms. The announcement coincides with the release of a detailed report, “Sonic: A Model for the New DeFi Paradigm,” which positions Sonic as a potential catalyst for the next wave of DeFi growth.

Building on the foundation of the Fantom Opera blockchain, Sonic introduces a re-engineered architecture capable of processing over 2,000 transactions per second with 0.7-second finality and near-zero transaction costs. Unlike many competitors that depend on Layer 2 solutions or sharding, Sonic aims to eliminate performance bottlenecks at the base layer.

The project, spearheaded by Sonic Labs, brings together an experienced leadership team that includes Fantom CEO Michael Kong, Yearn Finance founder Andre Cronje as chief technology officer, and Chief Research Officer Bernhard Scholz. Throughout two and a half years, the team developed a system that compresses blockchain data by 90% and cuts node synchronization time from weeks to under two days, dramatically enhancing network efficiency.

Central to Sonic’s performance are three core innovations: SonicVM, an optimized virtual machine that accelerates smart contract execution; SonicDB, a two-layer database that separates live and historical data to reduce network load; and Sonic Gateway, a bridge to Ethereum that enables secure, low-cost asset transfers between ecosystems. These advancements are designed to support a high-throughput, resilient blockchain network.

Looking ahead, HTX Research projects that Sonic’s Total Value Locked (TVL) could surpass $2 billion within the next 12 months, with the $S token’s market capitalization expected to grow significantly alongside it. Despite the broader market weakness, Sonic’s rapid expansion underscores how performance-driven innovation can create sustainable “yield havens” within the DeFi sector.

In a related development, HTX announced the successful integration of Fireblocks Off-Exchange, further strengthening its institutional trading services. This move enhances security, boosts operational efficiency, and supports regulatory compliance for institutional clients engaging with digital assets.
