Sonic Labs, formerly known as Fantom Opera Network, announced that the layer-1 blockchain they have started to develop will be launched soon.
Sonic Labs has confirmed that the emerging blockchain called Sonic Chain has already reached the formation stage, indicating that the first block of the transaction was completed a few hours ago. It is an important milestone on the way to becoming the fundamental framework of Blockchain.
The company also stated that infrastructure, including scalability and security, is deployed to support the operations of the network. Although the release date has not been announced yet, the market was waiting for the moment before the end of this year.

At the same time, Sonic Labs will launch its native cryptocurrency called S token, which will serve multiple work across Sonic networks, including transaction fees, staking, verification, and participation in governance.
According to Sonic Labs’ website, its tokens will be connected to Ethereum via a gateway. It is also expected that the S token will be purchased from a decentralized exchange or key centralized exchange in the future.
Fantom (FTM) crypto holders will be able to exchange their tokens for S tokens as soon as the blockchain goes live. Holders can then exchange 1 FTM for 1 S token.

Its market value is 1.22 billion dollars, and at the time of writing this article, it is the 44th cryptocurrency in the world, according to CoinMarketCap data.
