About Blockchains

About Sonic

Sonic is the highest-performing EVM layer-1 blockchain, combining speed, incentives, and world-class infrastructure, powering the next generation of DeFi applications. The chain provides 400,000 TPS and sub-second finality.

By combining a novel consensus mechanism with full EVM compatibility, Sonic delivers unparalleled speed, security, and scalability. The S token is Sonic's native token, used for paying transaction fees, staking, running validators, and participating in governance.

About Polygon

Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being POL. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
