Sonic raises $12 million to build the first Solana L2 built for gaming

Solana’s atomized SVM Layer2 Sonic announced the completion of $12 million in Series A financing, led by Bitkraft, Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, Matt Sorg (Solana founding team), Nom (Bonk) and many other institutions Participate with individuals.

This round of financing will be used to promote Sonic’s product upgrades and ecological expansion. As the first SVM L2 to achieve atomic interoperability with Solana, Sonic can quickly synchronize its Layer2 network with the Solana mainnet status. Developers can share the program, status and data of the main network without repeatedly deploying contracts. In addition, Sonic also integrates infrastructure suitable for Solana game development and deployment - such as sandbox environment, customizable game development modules and scalable data types, combined with the parallel execution method of Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) , as well as the characteristics of the localized transaction fee market, provide on-chain game players with faster transaction speeds, lower and stable transaction fees. To achieve a faster and smoother on-chain gaming experience.

Sonic is committed to leading more developers to join the Solana game ecosystem, and has launched incubation funds and acceleration programs to help them become familiar with Sonic SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) and HyperGrid expansion framework. HyperGrid is designed to allow developers to seamlessly deploy new game engines and virtual machines in the Solana environment. It acts as a grid deployment toolkit for launching new SVM environments, creating an independent space on the Solana network for each new game.

Solana is currently the most friendly public chain for users and individual developers, mainly due to its low threshold and the explosive growth of Meme. However, the development of Solana's gaming ecosystem has not yet achieved success commensurate with its scale. This is exactly the problem Sonic hopes to solve through technological innovation. Through Sonic, developers can deploy their own SVM chains with one click, thereby promoting more game narratives to be implemented on Solana.

Sonic CEO Chris Zhu said: "In the past two years, we have worked with hundreds of Web3 games to help them achieve monetization and asset issuance. We attach great importance to Solana because it provides complete tools for games and framework. We believe that Sonic SVM will be the key to catalyzing the explosion of the Solana game ecosystem. With our support, thousands of games will be launched and brought into the public eye."

Bitkraft Partner Jens Hilgers said: " The Mirror World team has shown amazing resilience, adaptability and creativity, and Sonic SVM and HyperGrid will lead the leap of Solana and the entire game ecosystem. We firmly believe that as Solana continues to attract market attention, it will become the future paradigm of Web3 games."

Sonic 由長期深耕 Solana 生態的遊戲公司 Mirror World Labs 打造。繼 2022 年初的 400 萬美元種子輪融資後，此次 A 輪融資將使其融資總額達到 1,600 萬美元。 Mirror World Labs 專注於開發 Solana 遊戲基礎設施，涵蓋遊戲生命週期的全階段，以及遊戲開發的全套技術解決方案。
