🚨 Is SONIC Really Exploding or Just a FOMO?
@SonicLabs – a name that has been frequently appearing on X in recent weeks, from tweets about "TVL of 1 billion USD in just three months" to screenshots showcasing Shadow Exchange farming points.
In this article, we will dissect the most notable insights from the "@MessariCrypto State of Sonic Q1 2025" report to see if this ecosystem is truly as hot as rumored.
1. Sonic and its position in the "sea" of L1
2. Main drivers pulling funds into Sonic
3. S Token price dropped 27% – a negative signal?
4. Top most prominent dApps on Sonic recently
5. Network activity: "real" transactions or just point farming?
6. How will the SonicCS 2.0 technical roadmap change things?

6️⃣ Technical Roadmap: What will SonicCS 2.0 change?
The upgrade announced on March 27 brings two core improvements:
🔻 Overlapping elections – instead of leader elections in succession, multiple elections run in parallel. Result: finality Block is twice as fast, latency <0.5 s.
🔻 Vectorized voting – gather votes into a 0-1 matrix, use AVX2 to speed up calculation, and reduce 68% RAM/epoch.
Practical meaning:
🔻 For Dev/Game: lower latency helps order-book DEX or on-chain games reduce “lag”, competing with Solana.
🔻 For Validators: low server costs, easy entry threshold → increased decentralization.
🔻 For Investors: If the mainnet is smooth, Sonic avoids the “TPS bottleneck” – a factor that is often FUD in most high-speed EVM chains.

Based on Q1 numbers and current chart signals, Sonic is still in the foundation building phase: real lending & DEX cash flow, dApp revenue is steadily increasing, infrastructure is about to be upgraded, but Token price is under unlock pressure and lacks a new wave of users.
