🌎 SonicX Game on TikTok Brings Blockchain to Mainstream Users

Sonic SVM, a blockchain company specializing in gaming, has launched a new Web3 game on TikTok. The game, named SonicX, simplifies the process of joining the Web3 ecosystem by embedding a wallet directly into TikTok, making blockchain more accessible to users.

Introducing SonicX: A Blockchain Game on TikTok

SonicX is a straightforward “clicker” game where players tap the screen to collect digital rings stored on the blockchain. These rings, including cryptocurrencies and NFTs, can lead to rewards. SonicX builds on the popularity of similar “tap-to-earn” games, which have gained traction on platforms like Telegram.

Embedded Wallet Simplifies Onboarding

The standout feature of SonicX is its embedded wallet, allowing TikTok users to log in using their existing accounts. This eliminates the need to manage complicated private keys or passwords, streamlining the onboarding process for those unfamiliar with blockchain technology.

Viral Growth and User Engagement

As players progress in the game, they can earn more rewards and invite friends to join, creating a viral effect. Since its launch last month, over 120,000 TikTok users have signed up, making SonicX one of the most successful Web3 integrations within a mainstream app. This indicates a growing interest in decentralized apps, especially among users new to blockchain.

Sonic SVM and the Solana Network

Sonic SVM, backed by $12 million in funding, aims to establish a presence in blockchain gaming on the Solana network. Solana is known for its speed and lower transaction costs, making it a popular choice in decentralized finance. However, it has not yet become a major player in blockchain gaming, where networks like Immutable X have taken the lead.

Tools for Game Developers

Sonic SVM is working to change this by providing tools for game developers to build on Solana. These tools enable developers to create game-specific networks, called Layer-2 rollups, which can process numerous transactions off the main blockchain at a faster rate and lower cost.
