What Do We Know About Fantom’s Sonic Migration?
Fantom’s Sonic upgrade is set to significantly enhance the network’s performance by introducing a new Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), optimised Lachesis consensus mechanism, and Carmen database storage. This upgrade will enable Fantom to process over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) with a finality time of around one second, a substantial improvement from the current 30 TPS. Sonic also reduces storage requirements by up to 90%, making node operation more cost-efficient and accessible. Fully compatible with existing Ethereum tools and contracts, Sonic is poised to support a wide range of high-frequency Decentralised Applications (DApps) without compromising security or decentralisation.
