Sonic is now live with Tier-1 support on DFNS Wallet-as-a-Service. Developers and institutions can create and manage Sonic wallets with full functionality: automatic asset detection, transaction history, NFT balances, webhooks, and API-based transaction handling. This makes Sonic's high-performance infrastructure easy to use for anyone building secure, scalable, and programmable wallet operations.

## Sonic, the blockchain designed for real-time applications

Sonic is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built for speed, reliability, and developer growth. It solves the scalability and cost issues of earlier networks, making it ideal for high-volume applications in DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs.

The S token powers the network, used for transaction fees, validator staking, and security. With over 32 million transactions and more than $1.2 billion TVL, Sonic has proven both its performance and adoption across the DeFi ecosystem. Key highlights:

- Blazing performance: Sonic delivers sub-second finality (~720ms) and up to 10,000 transactions per second. Users experience instant confirmations and no network congestion.
- Developer rewards: Through its fee-sharing model, smart contract developers can earn up to 90% of the transaction fees their dApps generate, a powerful incentive for building and scaling.
- Advanced consensus: By combining Proof-of-Stake with a DAG-based architecture, Sonic achieves fast, asynchronous validation while maintaining strong security and decentralization
- Cross-Chain interoperability: The Sonic Gateway enables smooth, secure bridging with major chains like Ethereum, ensuring easy asset movement and liquidity.
- Very low fees: With average transaction costs under $0.0001, Sonic makes both microtransactions and complex operations affordable for everyone.
