KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 📚 $S IS THE TICKER THE TICKER IS $S @SonicLabs X @KaitoAI @derpedewdz X @0xfuneral $S E N D I T A L L

Last night’s market cascade was another reminder of how fast things can move in crypto when leverage unwinds against a backdrop of global uncertainty. These moments test conviction and show why strong foundations matter. $S, like much of the market, saw sharp volatility, but nothing about Sonic’s fundamentals has changed. We have a strong balance sheet, best-in-class tech, and a mission built for the long haul. Through it all, the Sonic network performed exactly as designed. Zero pending transactions, hundreds of TPS sustained for hours, near-instant finality, and sub-cent fees. No congestion across DEXs or infrastructure. Pure, consistent performance. As the dust settled, we added just over 30 million more $S to our treasury, purchasing roughly $6M USD directly from the market, as we believe this will deliver stronger long-term ROI than sitting in stable reserves. Markets move in cycles, but our focus doesn’t change. Building real technology, real partnerships, and products that last. To our builders, validators, and community: stay focused. The work continues today, just like it did yesterday.

Sonic szn will change the game forever

Every new design reveals what the future values. Flying Tulip's ftUSD marks a shift toward stablecoins built on real yield, composability, and decentralization. Sonic’s yield layer is quietly becoming a foundation for low-risk, sustainable DeFi.

Andre's been involved with Sonic (then Fantom) since June 2018. At the time I was at a fund that fundraised for the project. After the previous team had messed up and plagiarised their technical paper, we were about to close it until Andre convinced us that he was already developing technology we could use. We decided to keep the project going. It was the best decision. Andre worked 24/7 to get the chain launched. If it wasn't for him, Fantom would've died in 2018. It was him and the team that took a project that was under $6m market cap in January 2019 to billions of dollars. He's been the MVP for Sonic. But you treat him as if he's done nothing. Stop engaging in conspiracies like "he's deliberately sabotaging Sonic" or "suppressing price" and others. Because it's just rubbish and the complete opposite of the truth. You criticise him because of one issue on one graphic. Yet if you bother to read the FT docs and The Block article (which to be fair a few have) you'll see things like: > "The FT token contract: Is initially deployed with 10 billion tokens minted on Sonic chain (ID 146)"; > ftUSD graphic using Aave Beets as an example; > Zero-fee trading on Sonic; Just let the man work. Andre is by far the most creative technically competent dev I've met in my life.
